Expert Reply:
We do have hitches available for the 2015 Buick Encore with Class I Curt hitch part # C11527. I did take a look at your owner's manual and there is not a towing capacity listed because Buick does not recommend using this vehicle to tow a trailer because it is not designed to handle the extra weight.
If you still plan on doing some towing, you will need a wiring harness to illuminate the trailer lights with part # 118588 and a 1-1/4" hitch compatible ball mount. You will need to do some measuring to figure out the rise or drop needed in a ball mount. I have attached a helpful article for your reference and the link to our 1-1/4" ball mounts available.
Most Buick owner's use the hitch for carrying accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier.
