The first thing you'll want is a trailer hitch for your 2018 Buick Enclave. For that I recommend the Curt part # CU29FR because it has a two-inch hitch opening which means it has plenty of towing capacity and because it installs behind the rear bumper cover which makes it totally out of sight when not in use. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.

For a 4-way trailer connector you'd then want the part # 118761 which installs without splicing by plugging right into the port at the rear of your vehicle.

Since you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
