  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Reciever and Bike Rack for 2019 Volvo XC60
  • The EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receiver - 2" # EH95VR is the correct hitch for your 2019 Volvo XC60. The Draw Tite Hitches # 75671 and # 76116 are only confirmed to fit the XC60 up to the 2017 model year, so they will not work for you. For your bike rack, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 2 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # HR1450Z which will work for your bikes and includes the locks. Unless your bike has almost no crossbar it will work even with women's step-thru...

  • Hitch Weight Capacity Differences Between the 2017 and 2018 Volvo XC60
  • You are correct that the 2017 and 2018 models of the Volvo XC60 have varying capacities when it comes to hitches. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13268 which is for the 2017 model has a 400 lb. tongue weight capacity while the Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver part # SH87FR which is for the 2018 model year is rated for 600 lbs. of tongue weight. The design of the vehicles are different enough that the hitches are not cross compatible. So to maximize the hitches capacity the 2018 is...

  • 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.

  • 2015 Volvo XC60 Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation
  • We checked with Thule and the OutWay part # TH45JV that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2016 Volvo XC60 that has a spoiler. Typically vehicles with spoilers that are supported decently can have trunk mounted bike racks installed on them. Thule tested this vehicle and determined that it has a spoiler that is supported enough for the installation of their bike rack. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also...

  • Can Weight Distribution Be Used On a 2018 Volvo XC60
  • The 2018 Volvo XC60 cannot use a weight distribution system regardless of trailer hitch as the vehicle is not rated for this. These systems are typically excluded from unibody frames like that on the Volvo XC60. The best trailer hitch option available is the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # SH87FRT. This option, although expensive, is a complete kit that comes with everything you need and has a completely hidden install while not in use for a 100% factory appearance....

  • Will Thule Roof Cargo Box Fit on 2013 Volvo XC60 and Allow Rear Hatch to Open
  • Here's what you have to do to determine if the Thule Force XT # TH6358B will allow the rear hatch of your 2013 Volvo XC60 with Thule Aeroblade bars to open without interference. If the front crossbar can move put it as far forward as possible and then measure from the center of it back to the rear hatch seam on the vehicle. If that measurement is 51-1/8 inches or more this cargo box will fit and allow the rear hatch to open. If instead you meant the larger 22 cubic foot XT part # TH629906...

  • Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2013 Volvo XC60 for Carrying 2 Bikes
  • The benefits of a trunk mount are lower cost, no additional mount is needed, and they can store easier since they take up less space than many trailer hitch mount racks. Trunk mount bike racks are limited to 2 or 3 bike models, they carry the bikes closer to the vehicle than a hitch mount, and the rack must make constant contact with the vehicle. It is possible for the bike rack to scratch the vehicle paint if the rack and vehicle are dirty during installation. A hitch mounted rack is...

  • Recommended Roof Rack to Transport Cargo Box and Two Bikes on 2013 Volvo XC60
  • If your 2013 Volvo XC60 has the naked roof (no existing side rails or crossbars), then I recommend looking at the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Roof Rack System. This roof rack consists of # RRVA126B-2 for the two 49 inch Aero Crossbars, # RRRLKVA for the 2500 Series Legs, and # DK246 for the Custom DK Fit KIt. This will give you a really nice, aerodynamic roof rack that has a weight capacity of 165 pounds. The 49 inch bars on this system represent the longest bars available that are confirmed...

  • What Adapter Do You Recommend for Making a 1-1/4 Inch Hitch Take a 2-Inch Accessory?
  • For this issue, I recommend the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HTAD. From the pinhole to the end of the part that is inserted into the hitch receiver is just under 1-1/2 inches. We have had other customers with 2021 Volvo XC60s confirmed that the length issue was bypassed by this receiver. In order to know if it will work for sure with your hitch receiver, I recommend that you insert a tape measure into the hitch receiver and measure the length from the backstop to...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Compatible With 2016 Volvo XC60
  • We don't have any trunk mounted Thule bike rack fits for the 2016 Volvo XC60. I reached out to Thule and they said it is a spoiler issue. You are correct that the strap is basically the same for other models and even different companies, but Thule will not confirm the fit of the # TH65JV or the # TH45JV you mentioned. For a trunk mounted option that is a confirmed fit, I recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # Y02634. This rack has an adjustable interlocking...
