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

    I would check the owner's manual first thing. There are vehicles that can be flat-towed one year, and the next year, they would be fricasseed if one did that. The Honda Fit, for example, because it went from a regular transmission to a CVT in 2015.

    Thanks for the information. Do they make a kit to by pass the fuses? I know on some vehicles you can install a switch to turn off the power going to that system. Thats sounds like a lot of screwing around to get the vehicle ready for dinghy towing. The Jeep is too easy. I may have to re-think this. The wife sure does like the Buick

    Happy Camping, bye Dennis
