Assuming there is a trailer 

hitch you can buy 

“ out of the box “

that will fit your vehicle 

U-Haul is the best place
to have it installed …

 

That vehicle is not

engineered - designed

or intended to be

a towing platform …

That's a surprising amount of towing capacity for a Reatta!  (I would have expected ~2,000 pounds maximum.)  Even so, it still has a short wheelbase, so towing anything with a substantial profile could get very interesting on a windy day or when passed by large trucks or busses...

Buick published that the Reatta was not intended to tow....(I will look for the "official" statement)

The Riviera with the same powertrain could be had with a trailer towing package. 

We believe the issue with the Reatta is mounting a hitch.....Buick never provided the structure . 

Yes a Reatta can tow but use caution when mounting a hitch. 

 

the picture is page 205 in the 1990 owner manual.    I looked in the info I have on a 1990 Riviera and I was wrong above

there is no indication the Riviera had a towing package.
