  • Lowest Profile, Easiest Roof Rack For Carrying A Bike On Our 2021 Volvo XC60
  • Your best option when it comes to an easy roof rack to install would be this Rhino Rack system. You'll get the Aluminum Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 with the SRB rails # RRSX046. These just clamp on to your current rails and won't sit up too high. We do not have anything like the Thule # TH7602-TH7602 roof rack you were looking for that will fit your 2021 Volvo XC60. I like the Rhino-Rack Hybrid # RRRBC050 because it clamps on to your roof rack and then has a wheel hook to get the bike secured...

  • Can the Saris SuperClamp EX be Used with E-Bikes with Fenders
  • The Saris SuperClamp EX, part # SA4025F, is compatible with e-bikes with fenders. To do this, you will need to mount the front hook right where the fender ends. You'll also need to place the rear hook over the rear fender while not fully placing on the fender. This hook is mostly for safety rather than securing the bike outright. It's also recommended that you make sure to use the wheel straps. This is part of keeping the bike secure. I've linked to a video review of the SuperClamp EX below.

  • Largest Roof Cargo Box to Fit a 2012 Volvo XC60
  • According to my research you should be able to use any roof cargo box size on your 2012 Volvo XC60. This can vary a little depending on what roof rack you have on your vehicle but you can easily verify a box will fit by measuring from the front edge of your forwardmost crossbar to the line on the roof where the roof and the hatch meet, then compare this to the box you're looking at. For example, the Thule Force XT XXL # TH6359B will fit if that measurement is at least 54-3/4". If it's...

  • Availability Of a Trailer Battery To Tail Light Flasher When Trailer Is Disconnected
  • While there is not a single item that will do what you are looking for you can build one quite easily. First you will need a 7-Way # C58155 which will allow you to connect directly to the trailer 7-way. Then you will need either the Custer Single Function LED Strobe Driver # STR-QRLY if your trailer has LED tail lights with up to 420 milliamps of draw, or you will need to source a flasher from a local auto parts store if you have incandescent tail lights. From there wiring is straight forward...

  • How to Determine Reverse Light Wire to Install 5-Way
  • The only way to determine which wire is the reverse wire on your XC90 is to have someone put the vehicle in reverse and for you to test the wires with the Cordless Circuit Tester # PTW2979. We simply wouldn't have any way of knowing specific wire functions on any given vehicle. I have added a link below to a video install you may want to check out to give you an idea of how to install the Tow Ready 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter # 20036.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2020 Volvo XC40
  • The Stealth Trailer Hitch part # SH77FR is a great option for a 2020 Volvo XC40. It will not void any warranties as per the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act. It comes with everything needed for the actual hitch portion. If you are towing then you'll also need a wiring harness and for this I recommend the Towing Kit w/ Ball Mount and Trailer Wiring for Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - 2" Ball # SH36FR. It comes with wiring and will not interfere with any of the integrated sensors or cameras.

  • Recommended Thule Roof Rack for a 2023 Volvo XC40 w/ Flush Rails
  • I checked with Thule for your 2023 Volvo XC40 with flush rails, you will want the 53" WingBar Evo Crossbars item # TH711420. This crossbar is 6" longer than the 47" WingBar Evo item # TH711220 that is recommended for your Volvo. You'll have just enough room to transport two 29" wide kayaks horizontally using the Thule DockGlide Kayak Carrier item # TH896. Here are the rest of the parts you will need to attach the crossbars to the flush rails on your roof: Evo Flush Rail Feet for Thule...

  • 2023 Volvo XC60 Hidden Hitch and Trailer Wiring Recommendations
  • Hey George, thanks for reaching out! As long as you aren't towing more than the 3,400 lbs I recommend using the Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT82GR for your 2023 Volvo XC60 because of the completely removable hitch receiver and the 3,500 lb tow weight rating. Then for wiring I recommend the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT because it's a universal kit that uses clamps to sense when to send power to the trailer lights as opposed to having to...

  • Is There a Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2011 Volvo V50 Rated For More Than 200LBS of Hitch Weight?
  • Looking at the owners manual for your 2011 Volvo V50 it says the maximum recommended tongue load for any receiver is 165lbs. As this is even less than the Curt # C11438 is rated this would explain why there is only a class I receiver available. Curt does have a note "***DO NOT EXCEED VEHICLE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED TOWING CAPACITY.***" as well in their instruction manual linked below. If you still want to find another option you should contact a fabrication shop in your area so they...

  • Can I Use The ZCI Harness 119250KIT To Combine Tail Lights On A Semi?
  • Yes, you can indeed use the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT to combine the tail lights on the semi. We actually recommend this product quite frequently for this purpose. To install the actual RV 7-way use install kit # ETBC7 which will include everything to install the 7-way and a brake controller. For a brake controller I recommend using the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 since it is their most user-friendly and durable controller. You may need additional wire and...
