2016 Buick Enclave towing capacity

The 2016 Buick Enclave can tow up to 4,500 pounds with the proper equipment, regardless of the trim level. With this towing capacity, you can tow:

A small pop-up camper

A small utility trailer

A boat or jet ski

A bike rack

Although the Buick Enclave can tow a variety of things thanks to its powerful V6 engine, it’s important to stay within its limits. Towing larger campers and utility trailers that exceed the towing capacity can severely impact the braking ability and can cause irreversible damage to this mid-size crossover

SUV

If you are looking to buy a used 2016 Enclave, a model without the trailer towing package can only tow a maximum of 2,000 pounds. To quickly double-check the towing capacity for a specific Enclave, you can look in the following places:

Buick Enclave towing technology

The 2016 Buick Enclave can tow up to 4,500 pounds with its capable engine and trailer towing package. Models equipped with all-wheel drive will also have an easier time handling less favorable conditions like muddy or unkempt roads.

The standard engine on most Enclave models is a 3.6-liter V6 with 288 hp and 270 lb-ft of

torque

. Although the Enclave is rated for 4,500 pounds, expect the maximum towing capacity to decrease at higher altitudes.

Enclaves with the tow package will have a trailer hitch, which would otherwise not be included.

Does the 2016 Buick Enclave come with a trailer hitch?

No—a trailer hitch is not included on any 2016 Buick Enclave model unless the trailer towing package was added on.

However, if your enclave doesn’t already have a hitch, you can purchase genuine Buick trailer hitch parts or find a compatible third-party hitch that matches the Enclave’s towing capacity.
