Trailer Hitch Installation - 2013 Buick Encore - Draw-Tite- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2013 Buick Encore we're gonna be taking a look at, and showing you how to install the Draw-Tite Class II Custom Fit trailer hitch receiver, part number 36554.Here's what our hitch is gonna look like once we have it installed. The cross tube is gonna sit right below the bumper, but it is gonna blend in nicely at the bottom here, and the main think we're gonna see is that receiver tube sticking out. Now it is a Class II hitch, so it's gonna offer us an 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver tube opening, which is gonna be great for bike racks or cargo carriers.The way we're gonna mount that or any of our other accessories is through the hitch pin hole here on the side, and it is gonna accept a standard half inch pin and clip. Although they're not included in our kit, you can pick it up here at etrailer.com using part number PC2.The safety chain connection points are gonna be a plate style bolted to the bottom of the receiving tube and the cross tube, and as you can see, we're gonna have plenty of room to get most sized hooks on or off, and the long oblong hole is gonna be nice because it's not gonna interfere too much with our pin and clip, or if we add a locking device. As far as the weight capacity goes, we're gonna have a 300 pound tongue weight, it's gonna be the maximum downward force at the receiver tube. It's also gonna have a 3500 pound gross trailer weight rating, which is the amount it can pull, including the trailer, and everything we have loaded on it. more
