Question:

We have bought several base plates in the past and have been very happy. We are planning a buying a 2021-2023 Buick Encore GX / AWD. We would like to know what base plate we should buy as well as the wiring connecting the MH to toad. Thanks Ed

Hey Edwin, the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BLU43FR is a confirmed fit for a 2021 Buick Encore GX AWD and would work great with a Blue Ox tow bar like the part # BX7420.

For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.
