- Can Prodigy RF Brake Controller Be Installed On a 2006 Volvo XC70
- The Tekonsha Prodigy RF Brake Controller, # TK94FR, can be installed on your 2006 Volvo XC70. It will require that you have a 7-way connector on your vehicle for the brake controller to plug into.
The Prodigy RF brake controller is designed for use on one trailer that will be towed by different vehicles, like fleet owners with multiple towing vehicles. If you want to use it on your truck for towing multiple trailers it would be the same as installing a brake controller in the cab of your...

- Usually within the rear cargo area of a vehicle there will be access holes, sometimes filled with a rubber grommet, through which you can route wiring. Since the size of the 4-pole plug # HM47115 may be too large for some of these holes it may be necessary to widen the opening. Take a look under the rear cargo area carpet and trim panels for any such available openings. If you find that you need to enlarge (or create) a hole for the 4-pole be sure to check behind that area to ensure no...

- You might need to use a trim panel removal tool like our part # ALL648544 to get the connector disconnected from your vehicle body on your 2009 Volvo XC90. A flathead screwdriver might work as well.
Thats what we had to do to access the connector in the install video I attached for this product.

- You do not have to remove the bumper, but you do have to remove the rear fascia and drill into the frame of your 2019 Volvo XC90 to install the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e53KR.
There are no hitches for your XC90 that you can install without either drilling or removing the bumper or rear fascia. You'll just have to drill a pair of 9/16" holes to install the # e53KR, but if you do not want to do any drilling at all - but are okay with removing the rear bumper temporarily - then I...
view full answer... - Finding Stoplight Circuit for Trailer Brake Controller Wiring on a 2017 Transit Connect
- Using a wire from the PCM of the vehicle is not the normal way to get the brake signal circuit for a brake controller install. What we recommend is using a circuit tester liker part # PTW2993 to test all of the wires of the brake pedal switch and then see which one only has voltage when the brakes are applied. You'd want to use that circuit.
Or we have the universal stoplight switch part # RM-751000 which gives you a way to add this circuit to any vehicle pretty easily.
view full answer... - Will the CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies for Roller Bunk Work On Outside Frame Rails
- The CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies for Roller Bunks part # CE10003G-4 are designed to be mounted to the horizontal center sections of the trailer also know as crossmembers. These will not work when mounted to the vertical outside frame rails. The swivels would be in the wrong position and the bunk boards would tilt front to back and not side to side. They are designed to be used with the CE Smith Carpeted Bunk Boards for Boat Trailers like part # CE27840.

- Installing a trailer hitch on your 2004 Volvo XC90 is not a huge project by any means. To install a hitch like the Draw Tite hitch that fits your vehicle part # 75152 is relatively very easy. I attached an install video that shows this hitch installed on a 2004 XC90 just like yours for you to check out as well. This will walk you through the whole process. You might watch it now to help give you an idea what the project would look like. Basically it's just removing a tow hook and then raising...
view full answer... - Is the Installation the Same for a 2006 Volvo XC90 Compared to the Video For a 2004 or 2007 XC90
- From my research it looks like the first generation of the Volvo XC90 runs from 2002 - present (2014) with a minor facelift in 2007. The installation process is same as either the 2004 or 2007 for your 2006 Volvo.
The installation of this Curt # 13559 hitch does not require additional drilling, it does require minor fascia trimming. It is recommended to temporarily lower the exhaust and spare tire for installing this hitch. I would think that one helper would suffice.

view full answer... - How Hard is it to Install a Trailer Hitch on a 2016 Volvo XC90
- A lot of the installation of Curt trailer hitch # C13233 on your 2016 Volvo XC90 revolves around getting the fascia out of the way to install the hitch. It isn't difficult just time-consuming. There is drilling that is needed, the instructions show the installer using a die grinder, but this is because a hole needs to be enlarged to 1 inch in order to get the hardware into the frame.
With this hitch Curt also says that all non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should...
view full answer... - Why Won't Pro Series Cargo Carrier Fit into Factory Hitch of 2017 Volvo XC90
- Since the carrier, part # 63153, goes in at all you definitely don't have a 1-1/4 inch hitch. I'm thinking there's something behind the hitch's receiver tube that you're making contact with coming out the back end of it. Is the receiver tube quite short with something right behind it that's blocking the carrier?
If there's nothing blocking the carrier from going all the way in the only other thing I can think of is that that shank or hitch receiver tube is bent. This might be hard to...
view full answer... - Is the Tongue Weight of the MT70066 Reduced When Using the 2 Accessory Receiver?
- I'm not sure which answers exactly that you're referring to, but any time you use an adapter like the # HTAD, your tongue weight capacity is reduced by 50%. However, the MaxxTow Ball Mount # MT70066 does not have the same characteristics since it is a 1 piece ball mount and accessory receiver. Because of this, as long as your dirt bike and motorcycle carrier weigh less than 500-lbs total (the tongue weight capacity of this ball mount), you'll be able to carry it without issues. You'll also...

- The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C53HR is an excellent option for a 2016 Volvo XC90. It will require trimming per the installation instructions. I have attached the instruction for you.
Please note, the trimming is required so you can get a nice hidden design and clean look once installed. The receiver tube will be tucked nicely up under the rear bumper with no cross tube shown.

- The Tow Ready Custom Vehicle Wiring, # 118411 does not require that the vehicle computer be reprogrammed in order to use it. This is a powered harness that gets power for the trailer lights from the vehicle battery via a power supply at the back of the vehicle (see instructions linked). The connections to the tail lights provide the signals for the trailer.
The harness also has a fuse included and it is this fuse that protects the vehicle electrical system from any shorts on the trailer...
view full answer... - Is Reprogramming Necessary for Stealth Hitches Wiring Installation on 2018 Volvo XC90 T8
- Reprogramming will be necessary with the installation of the Towing Kit w/ Ball Mount and Trailer Wiring # SH36FR. Unlike other wiring harnesses, this includes a wiring control module that you will plug your vehicle wiring harness into. Without taking it to the dealer to be programmed the trailer lights will not work. This wiring harness is also different when compared to the # 118683 since it will give you a 7-way along with a 4-way adapter and not just a 4-way.

view full answer... - Can Rear Wiper of 2007 Volvo XC90 Be Used with Trunk Mounted Bike Rack in Place
- The Thule Passage 3, part # TH911XT is indeed a fit for your Volvo XC90. Because the rack itself will be in very close proximity to the rear glass of your XC90, Thule does NOT recommend using the rear wiper once any rack is installed. It is very possible that using the wiper would contact either part of the rack or part of the bike, which would cause damage.
You might also want to take a look at the Thule OutWay, part # TH56JV. Instead of the clumsy strap and buckle mounting arrangement...
view full answer... - How Much Does AddingTrailer Hitch Reduce Ground Clearance on 2022 Volvo XC90
- Ground clearance is a pretty common concern, and on some vehicles it can be an issue, but I can happily say that for your 2022 Volvo XC90, ground clearance is not going to a problem whatsoever with the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT82GR.
The reason is, when we installed the # DT82GR on a 2022 XC90, we found that there was about 15" of clearance from the top of the hitch to the ground, which is more than enough to ensure there won't be any contact with the ground for the receiver...
view full answer... - Mounting 7-way Trailer Connector to 2016 Volvo XC90
- You won't need to cut the bumper fascia to install a 7-way. We used a # 18136 no-drill bracket that attaches to the hitch crossbar using a pipe clamp. Since the Curt # C53HR hitch crossbar is concealed behind the bumper, the # 18136 bracket can be installed to the underside of the hitch crossbar with the L-bracket for the 7-way extending upward at a 90° angle. If the 7-way you'll be using didn't include an L-bracket, you can use # PK12711U.
If you're needing a brake controller, I'd recommend...

- Most trailers do not utilize the reverse circuit. In this instance we did not hook up the reverse lights to the 7-way connector. You can easily tie the reverse lights into your 7-way connector. the yellow wire on the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat - 10 Gauge Wires, part # ETBC7, will get tied into the reverse circuit on your vehicle. You will need to splice the reverse wire to tie the wires together.
