2021 Buick Encore GX Transmission Q&A

  • How much can I tow in a Buick Encore GX? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Encore GX towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.

The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
