  • Does Curt Class II Hitch C12066 Fit 2017 Volvo V60 Cross Country
  • We actually had a customer of ours who had your exact vehicle come back and tell us that the Curt hitch part # C12066 was a fit for their 2017 Volvo V60 Cross Country. Here is the review: "I had a auto repair shop install and they said it went well, no issues with fit. I was skeptical as the exact car model (2017 Volvo V60 Cross Country) wasn't listed on Curt website. etrailer said it would fit and it did. Thanks"

  • Recommended Roof Rack for 2019 Volvo XC60
  • For your 2019 Volvo XC60 I really like the Rhino-Rack roof rack, which is made up of the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 and Rhino-Rack SRB Legs # RRSX046. The unique shape on these particular crossbars also allow for one of the quietest racks on the market and the T-tracks will allow you to easily mount accessories. It has a weight capacity of 165 pounds.

  • What Roof Rack Do You Recommend For My 2022 Volvo XC40 To Carry A Thule Hullavator And Kayak
  • My roof rack recommendation for you will consist of a Yakima roof rack and the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs - Side Loading, part # TH898. The Hullavator will not work unless there is between 4" and 8" of crossbar extension beyond the towers/feet. Yakima roof racks are easier to setup with that extension. Your Yakima roof rack will consist of the following items: Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 53" Long - Qty 2, part # TH711420 Evo Flush...

  • Best Bike Rack for Electric Bikes on a 2016 Volvo XC60
  • You can use pretty much any bike rack with any trailer hitch so long as the receiver tube opening is the same size as the rack's shank and you have bumper clearance on the vehicle. They do not make trailer hitches specifically for certain bike racks nor do they make bike racks specifically for certain trailer hitches There are 1-1/4" and 2" versions of the Kuat NV 2.0 so we just need to make sure we get the correct one that matches the size of the receiver tube you have on your vehicle....

  • Bike Rack and Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Volvo XC40
  • For your 2019 Volvo XC40 we have the Stealth hitch part # SH77FR as a fit that I recommend. This is hidden when not in use and will have enough towing capacity as well. The best e-bike rack solution is the Thule Easy Fold XT part # TH903202 as it's has the needed weight capacity, has a frame clamp design that's very stable and easy to use, folds up for easy storage, and has a ramp for easy loading and unloading.

  • Longer Bar Roof Rack Recommendation for 2019 Volvo XC90 with Raised Roof Rails
  • I did some research on the factory roof rack of your 2019 Volvo XC90 and from Yakima I was able to determine that your factory roof rack is actually a Thule so you could remove that rack and then install a longer rack that fits the raised rails you have with the part # MPG215.

  • How to Transport Bikes with 2019 Volvo XC60 Plug-In Hybrid
  • I have a solution for you, we have the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # EH95VR which my contact at Ecohitch was able to confirm will fit your 2019 Volvo XC60 T8 Plug In Hybrid. As another secure way to transport your bikes with the vehicle I recommend looking into a trunk-mount option. I really like the Yakima FullBack 2-Bike Carrier # Y02634 or the 3-Bike model # Y02633, both of which are confirmed to fit your XC60. These are really nice carriers...

  • Recommended 3-Bike Carriers for 2016 Volvo XC90
  • Thule does not yet have confirmed trunk-mount bike carrier fits for the 2016 Volvo XC90. Yakima does have several confirmed fits for your car, for both 2- and 3-bike carriers, but due to the nature of the car's hatch design you are limited to carrying 2 bikes due to the overall weight load on the car. If you need to transport 3 bikes I strongly recommend installing a hitch receiver and using a hitch-mount rack. Curt offers 2-inch Class III hitch # C13233 for your car. This hitch includes...

It also comes with trailer wiring and a ball mount setup so it would come with everything you'd need.

  • Availability of Extension for MaxxTow Roof Mounted Cargo Basket
  • There is not an extension available for the MaxxTow Roof Mounted Cargo Basket MT70115 that you referenced. We do have other cargo baskets like the Curt # C18115 that can be extended with the add-on piece # C18117, but unfortunately this isn't possible with your existing unit. If you are needing a little more space for cargo another option is a hitch-mounted cargo carrier like the Curt # C18145 if you have a trailer hitch installed on your vehicle. If you don't yet have a trailer hitch...

  • Will Tow Ready No-Drill Mount Bracket Work on Draw-Tite Class III Hitch for 2007 Volvo XC90
  • The Tow Ready No-Drill Bracket - Short # 18140 referenced in your question will provide an excellent solution for attaching a connector bracket and connector to the Draw-Tite Class III Hitch # 75152 you have installed on your Volvo XC90. This will give you a really nice connector bracket that doesn't require any drilling into the hitch. It is indeed compatible with this hitch and your vehicle. If you do happen to have a 7-Way, you may want to go with the Long version of the bracket,...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2016 Volvo XC90
  • For your 2016 Volvo XC90, I recommend the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13233. This Class III hitch is confirmed to fit your vehicle and requires a bit less vehicle modification for installation when compared to the Draw-Tite model hitch that is also available for your Volvo. It will provide you with a 2 inch receiver that will work great for accessories or towing. When we installed this hitch on your 2016 XC90, we measured a distance of 12-1/2 inches from the ground to the...

  • No Brake Lights with Hopkins Plug-In Harness On a 2013 Volvo XC70
  • There are two different sets of tail lights on a 2013 Volvo XC70, a pair in the quarter panel at chest height and a pair in the lower bumper at knee height. I took a look at all the trailer wiring harnesses for a 2013 Volvo XC70 (Curt T-Connector part # C56386, Tekonsha T-One part # 118774, and Hopkins Plug-In part # HM11143735) and these all show the connectors plugging into the tail lights at chest height (see photo). It sounds like you may somehow have them plugged into the tail lights...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for Carrying E-Bike with Fenders
  • The RockyMounts SplitRail LS 2 Bike Platform Rack # RKY11404 that you referenced is a great bike rack but it's not ideal for a full fendered bike like your e-bike due to how it attaches to the bikes by grabbing the front tire which is where your fender would be. A much better option would be the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 which uses a frame clamp instead that was designed for the often-times unique shape of e-bike frames. It also comes with a ramp that pulls out which makes loading...

  • Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2016 Volvo V60
  • The first thing you'd need to install a hitch bike rack on your 2016 Volvo V60 will be a hitch like the Draw Tite part # 75916 that fits your V60, has plenty of capacity, and is mostly hidden. Then for a bike rack I really like the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider part # HR200Z as it's very well made and stable, is easy to load, and costs less than similar bike racks that rival it's quality.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 1999 Volvo V70
  • For your 1999 Volvo V70 the Draw Tite hitch part # 36262 is a confirmed fit and what I would recommend. It is confirmed as a fit for all models of your vehicle so it will work with yours being front wheel drive. I like this one over the Curt because it does not require a stabilizer strap with a non supported load like a bike rack like the Curt does.

  • Roof Rack Recommendations for 2013 Volvo XC60
  • I've checked with all of our roof rack vendors, and unless your XC60 is an oddball, it should have a small accessory attachment rail running down either side of the roof, as shown in the diagram I've provided for you. Thule offers a SquareBar and the WingBar EVo roof rack. Both use the same Thule foot pack, part # TH710601 and fit kit, part # TH186015. For the SquareBars use the 47 inch SquareBars, part # TH712200. The WingBars come in both silver, part # TH711200, and black, part #...

  • Parts Needed to Install Trailer Brake Controller on 1996 Volvo Dump Truck
  • The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 is an excellent option for a 1996 Volvo Dump Truck. In order to install this you'll need the Wiring Kit for 2, 4, 6, and 8 Brake Electric Trailer Brake Controllers part # 5506 and Extra Wire part # 10-2-1. This has everything you need to power the controller and send the signal all the way back to the trailer connector. If you already have a standard RV 7-way then you can stop there but if not you'd need the Adapter 4-Pole to...
