2013 Buick Enclave Trailer Hitch Installation And Review Videos

Best 2013 Buick Enclave Trailer Hitch Options- Video

Speaker 1: Today on this 2013 Buick Enclave we'll be having a look at our best trailer hitch options. We have three hitches here today. All of them are Class 3 2" by 2" receivers. On the top we have a Draw-Tite, in the middle we have a CURT, and on the bottom we have the Etrailer.com hitch. First we'll give you a brief summary.As far as towing use goes, we found the Draw-Tite hitch here to be the better option simply because it does have an electrical mounting bracket in order to mount any of our wiring harnesses that we may need to tow our trailer, such as a four-pole flat or a seven-way RV.As far as weight capacities go, we did find the Draw-Tite hitch to be the winner here as well just because the fact it does have higher weight capacities than our other two hitches here today.Now for my personal opinion, if I was needing a hitch for my Enclave I would ask myself: What am I using it for first of all Am I going to be using it to tow a trailer If that's the case, I'll go towards the Draw-Tite hitch myself because I like the fact it has the mounting bracket for hooking up my wiring, which if you're towing a trailer you're going to have to have lights in order to be legal so it's a good idea to go towards this hitch.Now if I was going to be using it only for a bike rack or a cargo carrier, then I'd probably lean towards the Etrailer.com hitch myself here just because the fact that it does have a higher quality finish and it will easily accept a bike rack or a cargo carrier.One of the biggest differences that we found between our three hitches here today is in regards to towing. Our Draw-Tite hitch here at the top, it has an electrical mounting bracket where you can attach your four-pole flat, your seven-way RV connector, or your six-way round, whatever wiring harness you need in order to tow your trailer. more

Today on our 2013 Buick Enclave, we'll be installing the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver in a Class 3, with a 2-inch receiver opening. Part number 13424. Here's what the hitch looks like installed on our vehicle. Now I'll go ahead and give you a couple of measurements in helping you choose some accessoriesfor your hitch, such as a ballmount, a bicycle rack or a cargo carrier. From the center of the hitch pin hole to the outermost edges of the bumper is, approximately4 1/2 inches. From the top of the opening of the receiver to the ground isapproximately18 inches.Now, let's go ahead and install our hitch. We'll begin by removing the center plastic section on our rear lower bumper fascia. Todo this, there are two tabs, one on each side, that we'll need to turn. Then simply pull down on the center section, and it will release from the bumper cover. Now, we can go ahead and see the mounting locations of where we're putting our hitch job with. more
