Flat tow a 2017 Buick Enclave AWD

I'm looking into buying a 2017 Buick Enclave, I want to tow it with my motorhome. Right now I tow a Jeep Wrangler and it works great. My wife has hip issues so It's not easy for her to get into the Jeep. The Buick can be flat towed but there is more weight and have to leave the key in the accessory posistion so the steering wheel is unlocked.. Does anyone tow a Buick Enclave and have they had any issues?

Thank you in advance for any information.
Happy Camping, Bye Dennis

    We tow a 2017 Enclave with no issues. Two of the fuses are in the battery compartment under the pass seat - wired a switch in line for each of them. For the 50 amp fuse underhood, I got a Tall 50 amp fuse and replaced the stock one. That way I can just pop off the cover for the fuses and pop out the tall 50 amp fuse.
    Works fine for me and car tows like a dream. We don't generally go long distances so I just run it before I hook up to go and run it when I unhook at the campground.

    I would like to thank everyone for the information. I feel a lot better about towing the Enclave. We have towed it from Wisconsin to Lake Park GA. with out an issue. I start it in the morning and then when we stop for over a 1/2 hour. I start it after a day of towing.

    Thank you again, Happy Camping. Bye Dennis
