Question:

Expert Reply:
The Curt # C53HR will not prevent the hands-free liftgate feature on your 2017 Volvo XC90 from working. The only way it may impact is you likely won't be able to activate it with your foot directly under the hitch receiver but it will still work just to the side.
If you're going to be towing with your Volvo, the wiring harness # 118683 is confirmed to fit. This will provide you with a 4-way trailer connector. It installs by plugging into the wiring which is behind both tail lights.
For a ball mount the Curt # C45900 is a great adjustable ball mount that includes two different sized hitch balls. Then for a pin and clip # PC3. Unless you'd rather a locking pin like Draw-Tite Hitch Receiver Lock - Extra Long - Flush Design # BD580412.
