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...
The 2021 Buick Enclave is pre-wired for a brake controller.
If you don't already have a 7-way brake controller, you can install one using part # 118287 which would plug into the connector located under the vehicle on the driver's side just forward of the bumper as shown in the linked video.
The Tekonsha Primus you'd looked at, part # TK90160 would be a great choice, and includes the pigtail that connects to the tow package wiring under the dash.
The controller would wire up to the blunt... view full answer...
According to the installation instructions for your 2013 Buick Enclave, the vehicle’s towplug will be located on the rear passenger side of your vehicle.Locate the opening just to the right of the muffler. Up in the opening you will find the vehicle's tow plug. The wiring will have a grey plug at the end and this plug is where # 118270 4-flat harness will plug in to your Buick's wiring.
I have liked a installation video that will show you exactly how to install the # 118270 wiring harness. view full answer...
According to my research, you are not alone in having a difficult time finding the factory trailer brake controller wiring on your 2018 Buick Enclave. I was able to find a tech bulletin on your Buick Enclave that describes exactly where the wiring can be located.
The blunt wires for installing a brake controller are part of the instrument panel wiring harness, and they are located under the left instrument panel, behind the front side door sill garnish molding trim. We unfortunately don't... view full answer...
According to page 328 of the online version of the owner's manual for your 2019 Buick Enclave you will need to do the following before towing your vehicle with a tow dolly (it states that your Enclave cannot be flat towed):
1. Put the vehicle front wheels on the dolly.
2. Shift the transmission to P (Park).
3. Set the parking brake.
4. If equipped, put the vehicle in AWD. See Driver Mode Control 0 220.
5. Secure the vehicle to the dolly.
6. Follow the dolly manufacturer's instructions... view full answer...
The first thing you will need to do to install a complete 7-Way trailer wiring harness on a 2012 Buick Enclave without factory tow package wiring, is install a 4-Way trailer wiring harness, part # 118450, if the vehicle does not already have a working 4-Way connector.
Next, you will need to install an electric brake controller installation kit, # ETBC7, to complete the wiring. Installing this kit will require you to hard wire the 12 volt power wire, brake controller output, power, ground... view full answer...
This is actually a pretty common issue, and the bolts that came with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13424 that fits your 2017 Buick Enclave.
You will simply need to clean the existing bolt holes (weld nuts) with a spray lubricant and Wire Brush # 814092.
I have added links below to a help article on how to do this as well as a video which demonstrates this. view full answer...
How you'll proceed will depend on if the trailer has brakes or not. Usually, the fact that a trailer uses a 7-way indicates that the trailer has brakes but that's not always the case.
If the trailer doesn't have brakes, you'll first install the # 118450. This provides easy access to the taillight circuits without needing to cut and splice into any wiring. You'll then install the # 37185 adapter that will convert the 4-pole to a 7-way connector. The adapter will plug directly into the 4-pole... view full answer...
Because kayaks are so long the wider the stance of the JayLow kayak carrier, # Y04073, the better the support will be for the kayaks. The minimum bar spread, measured from the center of one bar to the center of the other bar on your 2016 Buick Enclave, is 24 inches for the JayLow. So any spread of 24 inches of more will be sufficient. view full answer...
At this time (September 2018) we don't have a picture of the blunt cut wires that a brake controller like the Prodigy P3 # 90195 connect to but I can tell you where they are located.
The wires will be under the left instrument panel, behind your front door sill garnish moulding trim. These are part of your instrument panel wiring harness. If you are installing the P3 (or any of the other controllers on our site) then you will need to connect the following wires to the following functions:

As long as you are under the trailer tow weight rating of your 2017 Buick Enclave (which you stated was 4,500 lbs) and the max weight rating of your vehicle then you can safely do this. Trailer hitches and hitch balls are rated separately from the vehicle which is why you're seeing higher ratings there.
With all of that being said, you want to make sure you use a brake controller (if the trailer has electric brakes) and a weight distribution system to give you the safest, and most controlled... view full answer...
For most people the install of the etrailer hitch part # e56YR would probably take a couple hours to install. For a dealer though I would assume maybe about the same but they might charge you for two shop hours. The charge would be based on what their current shop hour rate is.

You can easily add a 7-way to your 2019 Buick Enclave. The only thing you need is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 7-Way Trailer Connector # 118287.
To install this you simply need to plug this into the factory harness, which is on the driver's side stashed under the vehicle, as you can see in the cut out of the linked installation instructions I added for you.
I also added a link to a video review of this harness for you to take a look at. view full answer...

Although the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1708 has been confirmed to fit your 2014 Buick Enclave without the brush guard, as of yet (September 2017) we have not had the opportunity to shoot a video of the installation process of this base plate kit being installed on an Enclave.

The Curt and the Draw Tite hitch for your 2019 Buick Enclave are similar enough that it would not be worth it to go with the higher priced version. They both fit and install the same and allow the rear bumper cover to install over the hitch when not in use. If I were you I would go with the # CU29FR. view full answer...
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.

All connector surfaces should be clean and free of dirt. Be careful not to damage the locking... view full answer...

I'm sorry to hear your scale is malfunctioning. The etrailer Tongue Weight Scale for Campers and Utility Trailers # e99044 does not have the ability to be calibrated. The scale typically stays calibrated so that isn't something that is necessary. However, we have run into manufacturer defects before which have caused it to be off. I wasn't able to find when you ordered it but if you contact our customer service department you can see if it is eligible for replacement. view full answer...
