Trailer Hitch Receiver, Wiring Harness & Ball Mount for Towing a Trailer With a 2023 Buick Encore GX
Question:
Can you tell me what parts I need to be able to tow a utility trailer with my 2023 Buick Encore GX?
asked by: Danielle
Expert Reply:
First you will need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C94UR for your 2023 Buick Encore GX. The Curt Drawbar # C45522 will then be paired with either a 1-7/8" # C40001 or 2" # C40018 hitch ball to match the coupler. I recommend then using the Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock and Coupler Lock Set # 3794DAT to secure the ball mount to your Encore and have locks to secure the trailer to your Encore or while in storage.
For the 4-way wiring you will need either the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for LED # TK26VR or Incandescent # TK58FR lights. These are specific to the tail lights on your Encore so be sure to use the kit specific to your tail lights.
