  • Trailer Hitch for 2022 Volvo XC40
  • We have the fully concealed hitch from Stealth # SH77FR. The hitch features a removable receiver, once that's removed, the hitch is totally invisible from the rear. If you're just using the hitch for a mounting point for a hitch mounted accessory, use # SH77FR. If you'll be towing, use # SH77FRT which includes the ball mount and the trailer wiring.

  • Parts Needed to Add 7 Way Connector to 2019 Volvo XC90
  • You can use absolutely any wiring harness with your Curt Hitch # C53HR since they're not tied together in any manner; Stealth hitches just give you an entire package and the big draw of those is that they're designed to only be seen when you're towing, which is quite important to some vehicle owners. With that said, in order to add a 7-way connector, you'll need to start with a 4 way since that gives you the base connections needed for a 7 way. To add a 4 way I recommend using the Tekonsha...

  • Bike Rack Options to Carry 4 Bikes with a 2017 Volvo XC90
  • To carry 4 bikes with your 2017 Volvo XC90 you do have a few different options, but the best way to go would be to install a trailer hitch receiver and use a hitch mounted bike rack. Since the most bikes that can be carried on a trunk mount bike rack is 3, the alternative solution would be to use a trunk mount bike rack and a roof rack to carry the bikes. A hitch mount bike rack is much easier to load and can be removed quicker than a trunk mount version. For your XC90 I recommend installing...

  • Parts Needed to Install Prodigy RF Trailer Brake Controller in 2014 Volvo S60
  • All brake controllers will require a hard-wired 7-way installation in your 2014 Volvo S60 since the car does not have a quick-connect brake controller port under the dash like many tow vehicles do. The linked page displays all wired controllers. You will need to use our brake controller installation kit # ETBC7 along with a 4-pole harness # 118770 in order to have the fully-functional 7-way on the car that is required to use the Prodigy RF brake controller # TK94FR.

Attached is an installation video of this hitch on a 2021 XC60 that you can check out.

  • Recommended Wiring To Use A Prodigy P3 Brake Controller On A 2012 Volvo XC70
  • When installing The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles - Proportional # 90195 on your 2012 Volvo XC70 the only other part you would need would be The Wiring Kit for 2, 4, 6, and 8 Brake Electric Trailer Brake Controllers # 5506.

  • Recommended Recovery Tow Hook for a 2020 Volvo XC40
  • The Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH77FRT is not meant to be used in that manor and in all honesty is not something we are going to recommend you try and do. The best bet would be to just use the Curt Bolt On Tow Hook with Keeper # C22411 for recovery purposes and use the hitch as it's designed. This tow hook will get bolted to your frame, has a 10,000 lb capacity, and is used purely for recovery purposes.

  • Trailer Hitch and Related Components for Towing 6 x 8 Motorcycle Trailer With 2005 Volvo S40
  • The only trailer hitch offered for your 2005 Volvo S40, is the Curt # C11438 that you referenced. This is a light-duty Class I types that has a maximum tongue weight (downward force on the hitch) of 200-lbs and a maximum gross trailer weight capacity of 2000-lbs. I have linked two articles that will help you with hitch installation. I was not able to find a confirmed towing capacity for your vehicle so its a good idea to check your owner's manual (or speak to a local dealership) to confirm...

  • How to Add a Brake Controller to a 2004 Volvo XC70 and How to Add Brakes to a Pop-up Trailer
  • For your 2004 Volvo XC70, I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # TK94FR. This brake controller installs on the trailer and will not require any modifications to the tow vehicle assuming you have a 7-way trailer connector with a functioning 12 volt circuit. If you do not then you will need to add one and for that you can use a combination of part # C59236 and part # 37185. It sounds like you also need electric drum brakes for your pop-up camper as well....

  • 4-Way to 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector Adapter for a 2014 Volvo XC60
  • You are correct that wiring harness # 118739 for your 2014 Volvo XC60 does not have a connection for the reverse lights on the vehicle. You will need a 4 to 5-Way flat adapter, # 20036, to convert it to a 5-Way. The only tricky part is locating the reverse light wire on the vehicle. It looks like the reverse lights are in the tail light assemblies (instead of in the hatch) so it should not be all that difficult. All you need to do is find the back of the reverse light and the wire that...

  • Parts to Install 7-Way Trailer Connector and Curt C51180 Echo Brake Controller on 2019 Volvo XC90
  • I'd be happy to help with that. Although the Curt # C13233 Class III hitch you specified is a fit for the 2019 Volvo XC90, I'd personally prefer the Curt # C53HR that you'd looked at because it's mostly concealed once installed, with the receiver tube and the safety chain hoops being the only visible portion of the hitch. To install the Curt # C51180 Echo Wireless Brake Controller, you'll first need a functional 4 pole trailer taillight wiring harness, such as what's provided by the #...

  • Parts Needed To Create a 7-Pin to 7-Blade Adapter for Pulling RV Behind a Semi Truck
  • While we do carry a Pollak Trailer Connector Adapter # HM47425 which will adapt from a 7-pin on your semi to a 7-blade it will not work properly since the brake lights are separate from turn signals on your 7-pin. Instead you will need to create your own adapter using the following components. 7-Pole, Round Pin, Trailer Wiring Connector # PK11700 7-Pole, RV Blade-Style Trailer Socket # PK12-707E Tail Light Converter # HM48847 You will need some wiring for connecting the other circuits...

  • Replacement Hitch Hardware for 2017 Volvo XC60 with Draw-Tite Hitch from Uhaul
  • I have a solution for you, and because U-Haul hitches are just Draw-Tite hitches that have been re-branded we can narrow down what you've got; however, the 75316 you've mentioned is not a hitch that has been confirmed for your 2017 XC60. With that said, the # 75671 or # 76116 are Draw-Tite hitches that are confirmed on your 2017 XC60 and it would seem that from inspecting the installation hardware that the # 76116 would be the correct one that you have since the hardware kit comes with...
