Expert Answers about Volvo


  • What is the Width of the Channel Slide Piece of the Thule Replacement Load Stop # 8537165?
  • I have a great solution for you. Unfortunately, while Thule could not verify the channel slide piece of the Replacement Load Stop for Thule Ladder Racks # 8537165, my contact at Thule confirmed that the load stop will not be able to fit into the channels of WingBar Evo crossbars on your 2006 Volvo XC70. With this news, the best bet is to use the load stops with the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack for Factory Side Rails TH7502B-TH7503B. This AeroBlade Edge crossbar system will fit on your...

  • Swing-Away Bike Rack Recommendation for 2012 Volvo XC70
  • The Thule Apex Swing TH9027 Bike Rack is 3" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of its anti-rattle box; we have not test fit a hitch like the Draw-Tite # 75916 on a 2012 Volvo XC70, but we have test fit hitches on both a 2013 and 2011 model and each were at least 5" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the rear edge of the bumper. That said, it is unlikely the Apex would work with your 2012 XC70. The Yakima FullSwing # Y02465 is a better option and is a full 9"...

  • How Far Does the Dual Arms Extended on the 2 and 3 Bike Thule Raceway Trunk Mount Bike Rack
  • Yes, the Thule OutWay 3 bike rack # TH56BV (3 bikes) and # TH45JV (2 bikes) will fit your Volvo XC60. The Outway 2 or 3 is the easiest to install and the most recommended rack. If you don't have a bike adapter, I recommend the Thule bike adapter # TH982XT because it will make it much easier to carry alternative frame, children or women's bikes on a hanging bike rack. I added a couple video review for you to view as well.

  • Extra Long Weight Distribution Hitch to Tow Travel Trailer with Truck's Tail Gate Down
  • Using a standard hitch extender isn't going to be your best option because they will reduce the weight capacity of your hitch and you'll have trouble finding one long enough that is rated high enough for your 7,000 pounds travel trailer. A better option is an extra long shank of your weight distribution system. The Equal-I-zer Weight Distribution Shank # EQ90-02-4600 is 18 inches long and will provide either 8 inches of rise or 4 inches of drop. The hole spacing is 1-1/4 inches which...

  • What is the Best HItch for a 2019 Volvo XC90?
  • Yes, we do! The best one is going to be the Curt Hitch item # C53HR. This hitch is custom fit for your 2019 Volvo XC90 and bolts to it with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver which means it will be compatible with most bike racks on the market. The reason the Curt item # C53HR is the best hitch for your Volvo is because the crosstube mounts behind your rear bumper leaving only the 2" receiver exposed. This not only looks better but helps with ground clearance...

  • Weight and Dimensions of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13559
  • Thank you for your service! When it comes to shipping the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13559 has a weight of 38 lbs (including the packaging) and comes in a box that is 58" x 8" x 26". I did go out to the warehouse and found the hitch itself measures 44-3/4" long x 12-1/4" deep x 9" high. This is a fit for US versions of 2003 - 2014 Volvo XC90 so I am unsure if it will fit your vehicle if you purchased it across seas.

  • Determining Towing Weight Capacities of 2013 Volvo XC70 and 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • The Draw-Tite Hitch # 75916 is rated for 4,000 lbs towing/400 lbs tongue while your 2013 Volvo XC70 is rated for about 3,300 lbs towing/330 lbs tongue from what I could find online (you will want to verify this in your copy of the owner's manual). The Draw-Tite Hitch # 76227 is rated for 4,000 lbs towing/600 lbs tongue while your 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon 3.6L is rated for 2,700 lbs towing/200 lbs tongue. When determining the towing capacity of your trailer hitch/vehicle you will be limited...

  • Can Stealth Hitch SH27FR Tow a Small Boat When Installed on 2018 Volvo XC90
  • The receiver included with the # SH27FR Stealth Hitch isn't intended for towing of any kind, it's meant to accommodate hitch mounted accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier. In order to tow with the hitch, you'll also need the # SH36FR upgrade kit which includes towing ball mount and the trailer wiring harness. I've linked you to the installation instructions for the hitch.

  • Will the Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack Block a Back Up Camera on a 2020 Volvo XC90?
  • Yes, you will. It will most likely block the camera. I checked online and it looks like the backup camera on your 2020 Volvo XC90 sits right above the license plate. This is a common spot for cameras on suvs and like all bike racks the Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack item # Y02637 is going to mount directly in front of it. I linked a video below of this bike rack installed on a similar shaped suv. We didn't have one done on a Volvo but this will give you an idea of what to expect. Best case...

  • Will The SportRack Replacement Kit SR05587 Fit My Roof Box?
  • I went and measured the hinge and mounting plate for the SportRack Replacement Hardware Kit # SR05587 and made a diagram for you to check out. As there were a few measurements listed on it, it seemed the better way to get them to you than typing them out. Pictures make it much more clear. If this ends up not being an exact fit for your box, you best option will be to modify how said box mounts to your roof rack. Not having a brand or model will make it rather difficult to locate exact...

  • Maximum Tongue Weight For 2009 Volvo XC70
  • When trying to figure out the maximum tongue weight, or maximum trailer weight for a vehicle such as your 2009 Volvo XC70 you are limited by which ever rating is lower between the vehicle and trailer hitch receiver. In this case the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13266 has a maximum tongue weight rating of 350lbs, but the vehicle has a maximum tongue weight rating of 165lbs, so you are limited to a maximum tongue weight of 165lbs. If the trailer hitch receiver were to have a maximum...

  • Which Wind Fairing Will Work For Crossbars On 2013 Volvo XC70?
  • Fairings, such as the Yakima WindShield Fairing 40" # Y05017 that you were looking at, are designed to be used with crossbars running left to right across the vehicle's roof. If your 2013 Volvo XC70 has factory roof rack with crossbars then this 40" version may be cutting it close and could be too large for the crossbars. One way to check is by measuring the front crossbar to determine if it is at last 40" long; if so then it will work. If the crossbar isn't quite 40" long, which I don't...

  • What are the Measurements for the Demco Actuator Replacement Shock # DS12426
  • Presumably, the model number of the actuator will be stamped into the metal of the casing. This can wear down and/or get painted over after many years of service. If you cannot locate the make and model on your actuator, you may be able to go by the measurements. I went out to the warehouse and measured replacement shock # DS12426. The overall diameter is 1.662 inches (about 1-11/16 inches). The larger eye has an inner diameter of 0.89 inches (about 7/8 inches). The smaller eye has an...

  • Distance From Hitch Pin Hole to Bumper for Hitch on 2012 Volvo C70
  • When we installed the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11065 on a 2012 Volvo C70 we found the distance from the hitch pin hole to the bumper was 9 inches. That's a pretty good distance, and this is also a Class I hitch (which is all that is available for your C70) so you do need a Class I compatible bike rack as well, the Swagman Chinook 2-Bike Rack # S64683. This is an excellent rack and an overall great value. The Chinook is 12-1/2 inches to the closest part of the rack so it has the clearance...

  • What Are the Dimensions of Thule Replacement U-Bolt, # TH02943
  • I went out to the warehouse and measured a Replacement U-Bolt, # TH02943. The center to center distance between each end of the u-bolt is 4 inches. It is 2 inches deep in the center. The cross bars on your Volvo XC90 would have to be smaller than those dimensions in order for these u-bolts to fit. The Car-Go cargo box is not made anymore so I cannot test this u-bolt with the knobs it used. But I can tell you that this u-bolt uses an M6 (6mm) knob like # 753-0783.

  • Weight of Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13266 For a 2016 Volvo V60
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13266 for your 2016 Volvo V60 weighs 34lbs. We ship it in our 45" long, 23" tall and 8" deep packaging. I recommend installing a Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56287 when you install the receiver. This will allow you to connect to small trailers that use a 4-way flat connector. It can also be used with Auxiliary Lights # C53201 if you have a hitch mounted accessory that impairs the view of your tail lights on your Volvo.
