• Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Buick Envision
  No, I am sorry Stephen it does not. The Curt item # 13424 only fits the 2008 - 2017 Buick Enclaves. For your 2023 Buick Envision you'll need the Curt Hitch item # C94NR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Buick with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. I have linked an installation video we did below so you can see how to get it set up.

• Does Carriage Bolt Blocks Come with Curt Trailer Hitch 13424
  Yes, the carriage bolt blocks (they do look like spacers) and all install hardware are included with the Curt hitch part # 13424. I attached a picture that shows all of the hardware that comes with the hitch. CM-SP6 is called out in the instructions as the carriage bolt blocks.

• Which 2 Inch Hitch Will Fit My 2017 Chevrolet Volt

• Comparing Curt and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receivers for 2017 Chevrolet Traverse
  The only significant difference between the Draw-Tite # 75528 and the Curt # 13424 is the capacity. Since both of these far exceed the towing capacity of your vehicle that really doesn't make a difference. If I were to recommend a hitch for your 2017 Chevy Traverse it actually wouldn't be either of these. Instead, I would choose the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98863. This hitch has the same design and capacity as the Curt. What sets it apart from the other two is the matte black...

• How Much Does the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # E98863 Weigh
  The shipping weight of the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # E98863 is 30 lbs. Since this includes packaging the hitch itself weighs about 27 lbs. When we installed the Curt # 13424 on a 2012 GMC Acadia (which you put in for the vehicle information) the exhaust did need to be lowered a little bit but I think that car ramps should give you enough clearance to install the etrailer.com trailer hitch as it installs the exact same way. I have linked this video for you to check out. Let...

• Trailer Hitch and GCWR for 2017 AWD Chevy Traverse
  I took a look at an online version of the owner's manual for a 2017 Chevy Traverse and it says that for an AWD without the V92 Trailer Towing Package the maximum trailer weight is 2,000 lbs and the GCWR is 7,700 lbs (GCWR is the total weight of the trailer, trailer cargo, Traverse and Traverse cargo including passengers - essentially the weight of everything).

• Brake Controller and 7-way Trailer Connector Installation on 2017 Chevy Traverse
  According to my research, all 2017 Chevy Traverse models are prewired for a brake controller.

If your Traverse isn't equipped with the factory 7-way trailer connector at the rear bumper, you can easily add one using the # 118271 wiring harness, which also includes the fuses and relays necessary to activate the tow package wiring.

  We've had customers who have installed the Draw Tite Hitch part # 75528 on a 2012 GMC Acadia come back and say they were able to reinstall the fascia once it was all said and done. We have not had that happen with the Curt part # 13424 yet so I would go with the safe bet of the # 75528 instead.

• Can Rear Center Fascia Panel be Reinstalled After Curt Trailer Hitch is Put on a 2009 Buick Enclave
  In my experience the fascia trim panel cannot be replaced on the Buick Enclave vehicles after the installation of any of the hitches that are available for that vehicle. This is because the fascia for the Enclave is shaped differently than the ones for the Traverse. I posted a photo that one of our customers sent in showing how he trimmed that center fascia piece so that he could reinstall it on his vehicle. We also have a hitch install video on a 2012 Enclave for you to review, see link. We...
