In order to tow your 2008 Buick Enclave you will need the following items to go with your towbar, a base plate, supplemental braking system, tow wiring, and safety chains. Here are my recommended items:
Roadmaster EZ Crossbar Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms, part # 523149-1
Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit, part # RM-154
Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking System w/ Wireless Coachlink - Air Brakes - Proportional, part # DM26VR
RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000 lbs, part # RM-643.
If your trailer has hydraulic brakes instead of air brakes the supplemental brake controller I recommend the Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System w/ Wireless Coachlink Monitor - Proportional, part # DM86VR.
This is all you will need to flat tow your 2008 Buick Enclave. Please consult your owner's manual for important information about flat towing your vehicle.
I have included product description links, two video installation links, one for the base plate and the other for the wiring, and video review links below.
