2021 Buick Enclave Towing Capacity

March 9th, 2021 by
2021 Buick Enclave

The 2021 Buick Enclave has a max towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. This is plenty of power to tow your mid-size camper trailer, small boat, or flatbed trailer. Not all Buick Enclave SUVs have the towing capacity of 5,000 pounds so be sure you take a closer look into the features of each trim level to get the Buick Enclave towing capacity you need in Houston.

How Much Can the Enclave Tow?

At the base level, the 2021 Buick Enclave towing capacity of 1,500 pounds. When equipped with the Trailering Package on any model, you can reach up to 5,000 pounds. And though AWD isn’t required for towing, it offers better stability.

The Trailering Package is available on Essence, Premium, and Avenir trims; only the entry-level Preferred trim does not include it as an option. It includes the following features:

  • Class III Trailer Hitch
  • Heavy-duty engine cooling system
  • Hitch Guidance with Hitch View
  • Tow/Haul mode
  • Trailer hitch
  • Wiring harness
  • Heavy-duty engine cooling system

So, how much can the Enclave tow? More than enough to ignite your sense of adventure. 

Buick Enclave Engine Specs & Performance Features

Under the hood, all new Buick Enclave trim levels look basically the same except for the baseline Preferred trim which offers all-wheel drive as an option. With this in mind, let’s take a closer look at the powertrain that makes everything possible:

3.6L V6 Engine paired with a 9-speed Automatic Transmission

  • 310 hp / 266 lb-ft of torque
  • 18 mpg city / 26 mpg highway (FWD)
  • 17 mpg city / 25 mpg highway (AWD)

Even with this power and efficiency, the Buick Enclave refuses to compromise ride quality. With the innovative five-link rear suspension system, you can rest assured that you’re getting a smoother, quieter, more comfortable ride no matter the conditions.

Also, the available intelligent AWD system features an auto-activating twin-clutch, ensuring that power always reaches the wheels where it’s most needed.

Buick Enclave Cargo Space

Though this model has the ability to tow up to 5,000 pounds, it doesn’t mean you have to have the model better equipped to be able to bring everything along. The Buick Enclave 3-row SUV is built with a spacious cargo area and fold-down rear seats for access to nearly 100 cubic feet of cargo space. Here are the dimensions:

  • Cargo Capacity Behind Third Row: 23.6 cubic feet
  • Cargo Capacity Behind Second Row: 58.0 cubic feet
  • Cargo Capacity Behind First Row: 97.6 cubic feet
