I would be happy to help you. Both the Curt item # CU29FR and the etrailer item # e56YR hitches are confirmed to fit the 2023 Buick Enclave. These hitches are identical with the exception that the etrailer hitch has a matte black powder coat finish that offers superior rust protection.
The best hitch for your Enclave is going to be the etrailer Hitch item # e56YR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Buick with included hardware. They both have the same installation method and towing capacity but this one will look better when installed and save you some money.
I really like the etrailer hitch because it installs behind your rear bumper cover and can be completely hidden when you are not towing. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity, and a 750 lbs maximum tongue weight.
I have linked a couple of pictures below along with an installation video so you can see what this hitch looks like when installed.
If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # 118761 for a 4-Way or item # 118287 for a 7-Way and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
