I'd be happy to help with that.
Although the Curt # C13233 Class III hitch you specified is a fit for the 2019 Volvo XC90, I'd personally prefer the Curt # C53HR that you'd looked at because it's mostly concealed once installed, with the receiver tube and the safety chain hoops being the only visible portion of the hitch.
To install the Curt # C51180 Echo Wireless Brake Controller, you'll first need a functional 4 pole trailer taillight wiring harness, such as what's provided by the # 118683 and our # ETBC7L Trailer Connector Upgrade Kit. The kit includes an adapter to convert the 4 pole provided by the # 118683 to a 7-way, plus the wire, hardware and circuit breaker needed run a circuit to the positive battery terminal to provide power for the Echo wireless brake controller.
To complete your towing system, you'll also need a ball mount like # D-28 and # 19260 for a 1-7/8 or
# 63845 for a 2 inch trailer ball as well as a # PC3 hitch pin.
I've linked to install videos for the hitch and trailer wiring harness I recommended above, plus videos that explain how the # ETBC7L kit and the Curt Echo work.
