We're gonna check it out and see how well it fits on the back of our pickup, and just get a little bit of a look at the previews and how well it functions. So, let's just take a closer look real quick. So, the Cross Trek is a wheel-mounted carrier, meaning that it's gonna secure your bike without making any contact with your top tube, like a lot of frame-mounted carriers. You're gonna have a front wheel chock, as well as an arm on the front to help stabilize your wheel. You just wanna be a little bit cautious if you do have a fender, it may interfere with that. more

Installing the Roadmaster 12 Volt Outlet Kit on a 2025 Buick Encore GX- Video
Hello, neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer, and today we're taking a look at installing the Roadmaster 12-volt outlet kit on a 2025 Buick Encore GX. And this is gonna be a great addition and maybe even a required addition if you're using a portable braking system. Today we're putting the Blue Ox Patriot's braking system on our Encore, which is a great braking system, but in order to power it, you want 12-volt power that's constant and getting 12-volt power the entire time. While this vehicle does require a battery disconnect in order to flat tow it, the 12-volt outlet kit is run directly to the battery, so there's constant 12-volt power. And it's essentially just a cigarette-style lighter outlet. And it's gonna be a remote spot to where you mount it wherever you want and you'll always have the power to be able to plug in that braking system. more

Installing the Blue Ox Patriot Portable Flat Tow Brake System on a 2025 Buick Encore GX- Video
It's Brad here at etrailer and today we're taking a look and installing the Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System on a 2025 Buick Encore GX. Portable braking systems are a great option if you really don't want a heavy installation. This is a super easy way to get your braking system working on your flat towed vehicle. Some drawbacks that some people will say are gonna be the fact that you have to set up the system, but overall it's really just plug it in, clamp it around the pedal, move your seat and then you're ready to go. So this definitely is one of my favorite portable systems, if not my favorite. And it's got a lot of great things as far as adjustability and a monitor that comes with it, where that's normally an upgrade on other braking systems. more
