What do I Need to Tow a Small Trailer with a 2015 Buick Envision
Question:
I do not want to flat tow. I do want to tow a less than 1500 lbs RC trailer. Is that the same thing? If no what do I need for my 2016 Buick Envision?

Expert Reply:
We have exactly what you need to tow a small trailer with your 2015 Buick Envison. Flat Towing refers to the towing of a vehicle behind a motor home. You are going to be regular towing and you need a hitch,wiring and a ball mount.
For the hitch use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13292 it is very capable of handling the weight you are asking it to and is easier to install than the DrawTite.
As far as wiring use the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package part # C56364 this will give you a 4-way to connect the trailer to and the necessary relays to activate your towing package.
For the ball mount use part # 989900 this will give you the 1 7/8" and 2" balls as well as two ball mounts with different rise and drop options to match up with your trailer.
I've linked videos for you on each of these to check out.
