A 2015 Buick Encore with the active package can tow up to 1500 pounds, but without this upgrade, standard models will require modifications to tow anything. The tongue weight limit is 300 pounds, and the vehicle's payload capacity is 1000 pounds, allowing for a maximum total weight of one ton when evenly distributed between the vehicle and the towed load. The torque output for the 1.4L 4-cylinder engine is 148 lb-ft, which is notable for its size but still relatively low in torque power.

    If the vehicle has a 4-cylinder engine, I advise against using it for towing purposes.
