Do you have a question about this Trailer Hitch?
  • Does Hands Free Liftgate Work with Buick Encore Blue Ox Hitch BLU42UR
    Hey Andrew, the Blue Ox Hitch part # BLU42UR that you referenced does fit your 2021 Buick Encore GX that has the hands free liftgate but you would need to sweep your foot to the sides of the hitch to get it to work. This is very common for hitch installs on vehicles with the hands free liftgate so you'll still be able to open the hatch if your hands are full. What are you planning on using the hitch for?

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2022 Chevy Trailblazer Carrying Thule Bike Rack
    Hey L.S. I would recommend the Blue Ox part # BLU42UR for your 2022 Chevy Trailblazer because it has the best weight capacities of all the hitches we offer for your vehicle and it is mostly hidden since only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper.

If I had to guess I'd say they probably didn't take it any further since it looks like the 2026 Encore GX capacity is even lower than this hitch. The Blue Ox # BLU42UR is certainly more robust with...

  • Will the Blue Ox Trailer Hitch Fit My 2025 Buick Encore GX with Kick Sensor?
    Hello Mark, Thanks so much for writing in! I would have been confused too. It looks like someone updated the wording on our tech tip. It used to mention that the hitch could interfere with the hands free tailgate feature, but in our experience you can still use it. Sometimes you just need to find that sweet spot by moving your foot a little to the right or left of the receiver. The Blue Ox Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # BLU42UR is going to be a great fit for your...
