Would the Exhaust of a 2012 Buick Enclave Interfere with a Thule Transporter Cargo Carrier

The Thule Transporter Combi Hitch Mounted Enclosed Cargo Carrier # TH665C that you referenced should work very well on your 2012 Buick Enclave as long as you have a hitch installed on your vehicle.

If you do not have a hitch I would recommend you go with a Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 75528. This is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch opening that would work very well for you. We found then when this hitch is installed there is a distance of 5 inches from the center of the hitch pin out to the furthest point out on the rear bumper. The # TH665C that you referenced has a distance of 7-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin to the back of the upright bar so you would have enough clearance.

The exhaust should not be a problem either. The exhaust of the vehicle basically sits level with the hitch opening and the # TH665C has a shank with a rise built into it that would put the carrier above the hot exhaust if that was your concern.

I attached a review video for the # TH665C for you to check out
