Hi Jeff, that’s a great question, especially since you’re coming from a coach with air brakes and want something that feels just as reliable and easy to use.
Both the Blue Ox Patriot 3 part # BLU37TR and a permanent system like the Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo for Hydraulic brakes part # SM99251 are solid options, but the “best” choice really comes down to how you plan to tow and how much convenience you want day to day. The Patriot 3 is a portable unit that sits on the floor and presses the... view full answer...
Hey Colin, thanks for reaching out. Yes, it will! The Curt # C75VV hitch will fit all models of the 2025 Buick Envista, including the Avenir. I double checked with Curt and they confirmed this.
What will you be using the hitch for? A bike rack, cargo tray, or a small kayak trailer? view full answer...
Hey Phil! I recommend the Roadmaster Battery Disconnect for Towed Vehicle w/ Flat Tow Brake System # RM-766. Roadmaster is the most reliable when it comes to flat tow wiring, including parts like this disconnect. This will allow you to disconnect the battery with the push of a button. If you don't already have your tow bar wiring, you can use the Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-15267.
Do you have your tow bar, base plate, and brake system picked out already?... view full answer...
Yes, you would want to use an anti-rattle for the 1-1/4 inch portion of the adapter. For that the Hitch part # C11257 would work well. It uses a U-bolt to hold the adapter tight to the hitch tube. view full answer...
You should place your E-Bike as close to your 2017 Buick Encore as possible when using the Saris Freedom 2 Bike Platform Rack # SA4412B, which means on the inside of the rack. The reason for this is so the rack and your bike remain as stable as possible and does not put added stress on either. The Freedom does not have a 1-bike rack option though the center mast does fold down like in the accompanying photo to help ease the loading process.
The better option that I strongly recommend instead... view full answer...
Hey Gary, for your application I would go with the 5 inch drop version part # BWTS10048B over the 7 inch drop part # BWTS10049B. I don't think you'll encounter a trailer that would require that much drop and it would potentially cause ground clearance issues and just be overall heavier and more expensive for no advantage. view full answer...
Your 2021 Buick Enclave has a wiring pigtail and not a connector for wiring a Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR. The 4 wires are located below the OBD2 port behind the side kick plate(see Image). This is where you will be able to attach the included pigtail using the Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05744-5 and # DW05745-5. You will only need 2 of each connectors for the 4 wires that connect to the brake controller pigtail. view full answer...
Yes, it will. The Roadmaster Battery Disconnect with Switch for Towed Vehicle w/ Flat Tow Brake System item # RM-766 is not only compatible with your 2024 Buick Encore GX but it is recommended to be used by Roadmaster. This a great part that makes disconnecting and reconnecting your battery extremely simple.
Here are some other parts you will need to flat tow your 2024 Buick Encore GX:

Hi Ed; the Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-15267 isn't listed as a fit because the 2025 Buick Enclave cannot be flat towed. A dolly like the Roadmaster Tow Dolly # RM-2050-1 typically comes with a light kit so tow bar wiring is not required. However, the diode kit is universal so you can install it on your Enclave if you prefer to run your lights that way.
Where are you headed once you get the Enclave set up? view full answer...
Yes, it does Scott! There is a fishwire included with the Blue Ox Trailer Hitch item # BLU79HR. This hitch is custom fit for a 2024 Buick Envista.

Hi Daniel, nice car!
We do have an option that may fit your 94 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon, but it doesn't look like there is a custom fit Class 3 available any more, unfortunately.
This will require welding, but you may be able to use something like the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver - Weld On - Class V - 2" # 41990-07. I couldn't find the width of your frame, but this can fit up to a 44" wide frame. It will likely need some fabricating to make it fit,... view full answer...
You are on the right track!
The Draw Tite hitch part # 75528 is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Buick Enclave as well as the trailer wiring kit # 118270. The wiring mount part # 18144 will also give you a place to mount the 4-way that bolts to the bumper.
The ball mount part # C45036 that you referenced is would also work well if you need 2 inch drop. I attached a help article that details how to pick out a ball mount drop as well. view full answer...
Hey Jeff,
A new vehicle, that’s exciting! I’ve heard good things about the newer Encore, so I hope you end up liking it. To flat tow any vehicle behind your motorhome, you’ll need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, tow bar wiring, and a braking system like the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR. I attached an article that walks through the must-have flat towing components. Do you know if yours has the Sport Touring package?
I also included a link to our dealer locator so you can find an installer... view full answer...
I checked with Tekonsha and they state that your 2019 Buick Enclave with the factory tow package (factory 7-way) can have a brake controller installed but there isn't factory wiring so you'll need to hardwire it to the vehicle.
For that you would want to start with the Wiring Kit for 2 and 4 Brake Electric Brake Controllers # 5506. This will provide the power source and ground for the wiring for the brake controller. You will need to test the wires from the brake pedal switch of your... view full answer...
Hi Kirk!
To get a braking system working on your 2026 Buick Encore GX, you will need to start with something like the Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 7-Way to 6-Way Coiled Adapter Cord # RM-15267, if you do not already have that. From there, you will need the following parts (they are all Roadmaster as I think they make the best wiring components for flat towing):

We do have a hitch for your 2019 Buick Regal Sportback GS but the Curt you mentioned does not fit the GS models. I checked with them just now to confirm this. Draw Tite offers the # 36652 though that fits all models of the 2019 Regal including your GS so it would fit and work well.
If you need trailer wiring Curt has an easy to install and very reliable kit with part # C56389 that fits your vehicle. view full answer...
Hi Larry!
To tow your 2025 Buick Enclave behind an RV, you would need to use something like the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes - 4,250 lbs # RM-2050-1. I checked the owner's manual for your vehicle and it says you cannot tow it with all 4 wheels on the ground as it will damage it.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Do you already have the Enclave or is it a prospective vehicle? view full answer...
Hey Wesley, thanks for reaching out!
The Y006 key you have for your Saris Door County Bike Rack # SAR42RR is an older number so you'll have to reach out directly to Saris for this particular key. Here is a link to their contact us page - https://saris.com/pages/support-center
We do have a wide range of replacement keys though, so if you end up needing a different key in the future, please feel free to reach out! view full answer...
Hello Jim, thanks for reaching out. Battery disconnects like the Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect, part # RM-766, do need to be installed on the positive side of the battery, even on vehicles that state to disconnect the negative cable.
The reason is because if you use the disconnect on the negative side you'll lose your towed vehicle's main ground to the chassis. This means that all of the accessories that need to operate on the toad must be grounded through the connection to the... view full answer...
For your 2006 Buick Rainier and your 2017 Jayco Jay Flight 195RB, the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Round - 6,000 lbs GTW, 600 lbs TW # FA94-00-0600 may be sufficient, however, I recommend bumping up to the # FA94-00-0800. This system will give you the same minimum tongue weight, but will allow for up to an 800 lb tongue weight. Based on the specs for your trailer, if you were loaded to capacity you could have a trailer tongue weight of up to 525 lbs, and that... view full answer...
