Due to the lower fascia design of your 2017 Volvo V60 there isn't a way to install a hitch like the Curt # 13266 without trimming the rear fascia. This is very common on newer vehicles like yours. I attached a picture that I took from the install instructions that covers the trimming as well as a link to an install video that shows it as well. view full answer...
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. view full answer...
The Curt 2 inch hitch part # 13266 which fits your 2018 Volvo V60 has in the install tech tips that it MAY require trimming of the rear fascia to install. But the other option is to remove the rear fascia altogether and not reinstall it so that would bypass needing to trim. view full answer...
We don't have a list of recommended installers, but I can recommend the type of shop that I would use to install the Stealth Hitch # SH47FR if it were my vehicle.
As you saw in the installation video the install is pretty involved, and would require the temporary removal of the rear bumper cover and the bumper itself so the hitch can be sandwiched between the vehicle and the bumper assembly. An auto body shop would have tons of experience in removing body panels without damaging them,... view full answer...
For the Yakima Rack and Roll Trailers like part # Y08107 I really like the etrailer Trailer Coupler Lock part # e98884. It is a very easy to use and reliable in operation. I like this design for it's design the most it is very compact and will tighten down close to the coupler so it won't rattle around like some others will.
I have attached the video I made on it for you to check out. view full answer...
We do have the Stealth hitch part # SH47FR that fits your 2021 Volvo V60 AWD. This hitch is unique in that it has a removable lower hitch opening so when not in use you can remove it and it would be totally hidden. view full answer...
The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2017 Volvo V60 is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch, part # 75916.
This is a Class lll trailer hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening.
Since you said you are using it for a bike carrier you willl want to make sure the bike carrier clears the back bumper when installed. When we installed the hitch on a 2016 V60 the distance form the center of the hitch pin to the back of the bumper was 6 inches so you will want to make sure you select a... view full answer...
Yes, the Thule EasyFold XT 2 E-Bike Platform Rack # TH903202 will work great with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75916 on your 2017 Volvo V60. The receiver isn't tucked too far behind the bumper on your Volvo to cause any kind of rack-to-bumper interference with the EasyFold and the receiver depth is not an issue. The Class III hitch also has more than enough capacity to handle your bikes and the carrier.
This is an excellent combination of parts that will allow you... view full answer...
You could use an adapter like the Roadmaster # RM-070 to achieve a 4 inch rise, which would work pretty well for you. Keep in mind that using an extender/adapter like this will lower the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50% due to the fact that the adapter would move the load further away from the vehicle and exert additional leverage on the hitch and its attachment points to the vehicle. view full answer...
The Erickson Wheel Net part # EM58522 would be a great option. This can fit TIRE diameters from 14 inch to 29 inch so it would work well with your RIM diameter that is 13. view full answer...
For your mid-year 2015 Volvo V60 you would want the Curt Hitch part # 75916.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out... view full answer...
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" view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75916 is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Volvo V60 and will work great for you. For wiring there is not an aftermarket 7-way only to setup your V60 so the # 118265 will not work for example but there is another solution.
You can start with installing a 4 way Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56287 and use the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller part # ETBC7 to provide your 7-way too.

We can get your 2020 Volvo V60, set up to carry bikes, and for that you will need to start with a hitch receiver, like you said, and the one that fits to carry a bike rack is the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH47FR.
This hitch will allow you to carry a 2-bike rack, and the rack that I highly recommend is the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack # SH22G.
The Sherpa is really easy to use due to it's tool-free installation, uses hooks to grasp your bikes by the wheels which means... view full answer...
The closest rated hitch we have for your 2016 Volvo V60 is the Draw Tite hitch part # 75916 which has a 4,000 lb trailer capacity and a 400 lb tongue weight capacity. Yours is right at 405 so technically it's too heavy but if you can find a way to lose 5 lbs off of it you'd be fine. I know that seems silly but we can't ever recommend exceeding towing capacities.
If your vehicle has a tongue weight capacity lower than 400 lbs though you would have to abide by that too.

Yes, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame trailer hitch receiver # 75916 will fit your 2015 Volvo V60 Cross Country. In order to complete the installation, fascia trimming is required and underbody panel will need to be temporarily removed. Great thing is that no drilling is required.
If you plan on towing, you will need trailer wiring # C56287 but if your model was built prior to the mid year update, you will need to contact your local Volvo dealership for wiring harness information.

You can use a ball mount such as MaxxTow Tri-Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - Hollow, Black Powder Coated Shank - Chrome Balls # MT70021. This comes with a 1-7/8" ball, a 2" ball, and a 2-5/16" ball and fits a 2" receiver. For the trailer wiring you will want to get Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56287. This will simply connect to the factory tail light wiring and requires no splicing; you will need to connect the white wire to ground and the black wire to the positive... view full answer...
The Thule racks you mentioned do not fit your 2016 Volvo V60 but I have a much better option that does with the Yakima Fullback part # Y02634 which is the easiest to install, is very secure, and only option with locks for the bikes to the rack and the rack to the vehicle. view full answer...
To add a 4-Pole connector to your 2016 Volvo V60 I recommend going with the Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56287.
This kit will simply T into the tail lights on your V60. You will also need to run the included Black wire up to your battery for power. This will keep the lights on your trailer from affecting the lights on your V60.
I was able to look up and see that the trailer hitch receiver that you purchased from us was the Draw-Tite Max-Frame # 75916 with... view full answer...
