Is There A Base Plate For 2025 Buick Encore GX AWD Sport Touring With Lower Shutters?

Updated 03/26/2025 | Published 03/20/2025

Question:

Do you have a flat towing plate for a 2025 Buick Encore GX AWD Sport Touring with lower shutters? Neither Blue OX nor Roadmaster support lower shutters is there anything else that does?

Hello Peter, thanks for reaching out. We do carry one other base plate for the 2025 Buick Encore GX AWD Sport touring, the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e24FV. As far as the lower shutters, this would be the same as the Blue Ox and Roadmaster ones. It would not be compatible. I have heard of people removing the shutter to accommodate a base plate, but I am afraid we would not have any instructions on how to do this. I am not aware of any other base plate options though.

Thank you for your response. It’s is unfortunate that I have no options. Should anything change I would be happy to hear from you or your colleagues. I wonder if there might be an opportunity for a custom fitment of some kind; should you hear of such please reach out. Thanks in advance.

@PeterP Sure thing. To be honest I doubt any of our manufacturers would be making something specifically for this. Some of the new Ford trucks have had a similar front shutter and there is no base plate specifically for these models. The shutter has to be removed if you wish to flat tow and in all likelihood this will be the case for your Buick.
