This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.I was intimated by the prospect of installing this trailer hitch on my 2015 Volvo V60 wagon- although I'm relatively handy I don't do any work on cars. After watching the video and reading through the instructions I dove in. one hour and twenty minutes later the car was completely reassembled and my hitch bike rack was ready to go!
the receiver looks great on my car, and I'm excited about the prospect of using my hitch mounted bike rack in the future.
Good fit, relatively easy install. Nice product. I will use it primarily for a bike rack, but it's nice to know I can pull a light trailer with it. It's on a Volvo sedan.
Excellent fit on my 2014 Volvo S60. With a helper this project was all of an hour and a half. There are 5 fender well screws and four additional Torx screws near the muffler. We had to trim the muffler heat shield by a little bit and the bumper cutout by the dimensions shown in the instructions. The spacers were required. All went smooth and looks like factory install. Highly recommend! And etrailer shipped super fast and with great follow up.
OK, so you guilted me into it. Well, maybe the rainy weekend weather had something to do with it as well but anyway I finally installed the hitch and electrical wiring and everything went off with(out) a hitch (pun intended). Now why didn’t I do that at the beginning of the summer? Thanks again for giving me the push needed to get this done.
I just finished installing this hitch on my '15.5 S60 and it was about as straight-forward as I could have imagined. The only "gotcha" was that the added depth of the hitch plus spacers cause the bumper bar to just barely fit under the bumper cover, making things a little bit tight to get back together. Despite that I was able to get everything torqued down and back together in about an hour. The finished look is completely acceptable to my eye. Yes, a 2" receiver is a chunky piece of hardware to hang under the bumper but at least that's the only visible part. Having to notch the bumper cover is no big deal, either, since you can't see that without getting under the car. In my mind it's all a miniscule price to pay to add utility to my little sedan.
Well made product, though looks like it was repainted after manufacture. Great price. Very easy to install on my Volvo XC70 alone. Took about 90 minutes (thanks to etrailer's YouTube video) Have used it for Yakima swing daddy 4 bike rack. Solid!
Fit great on my wife's 2011 Volvo XC70. Easy to install, only took about an hour and a half total. Even the wiring harness was easy to fit. Use the hitch to tow a utility trailer and to carry a Thule bike rack.
I had a neighbor help me with installation and another pair of hands was absolutely necessary. The demonstration in the video was so helpful and I probably would not have attempted to do it myself without it. Thanks for a great product at a reasonable price.
Installed the hitch this weekend on my S60. Great instructions. Everything lined up perfectly. Only took us about 50 minutes to install. Most of the time was spent fretting over pulling the bumper fascia off. Looks great on the car. Towed my trailer later in the day. Excellent!
Delivered quickly and included all hardware and instructions in English. My install was just for my bike. Installed in a few hours alone.
etrailer.com delivered fast and provided emails throughout the process! Thank you!
2015.5 Volvo V60 R-Design - The Curt hitch #13266 has excellent fit & finish and etrailer.com included clear instructions.
Installation on the Volvo V60 can be done on a set of ramps with basic hand tools per the instructions. No surprises. Using a floor jack, the install can be done by one person, but two people are recommended. Do the install on a warm day or warm garage to ensure the plastic bumper cover is soft and flexible. Installation should take about an hour.
We plan to use this for hauling bikes with our Thule 964 Revolver bike rack.

A year later and the hitch continues to work well with limited signs of wear. While it does sit low, no cutting of the rear bumper cover was needed. I would still recommend this hitch to fellow Volvo V60 and V60CC owners.
I am very satisfied with the Kurt trailer hitch. The unit was shipped promptly and was well packaged. UPS can beat the _______ out of things.
The hitch fit very well and installed without a problem, thanks to the video. It is not often I find a tutorial demonstrating on the EXACT thing I want to work on. The ''plug and pray'' wiring harness worked flawlessly. [prayers were answered]
All in all things went well except for the kit being short one of the Mickey Mouse ear shims. That was nothing a stack o'washers could not remedy.

I use the trailer hitch only occasionally, even less with this Covid 19 stuff happening. To protect it from the salt and slop of Wisconsin roads, the unit was sprayed with Boeshield. Rubber corks were pushed into the side pin holes and official Kurt receiver covers seal the front and rear openings. This thing is very solidly built, like an attachment for my forklift... I am still impressed with the online video tutorial... same make and model [and color] as my Volvo... no mistakes then ! could not be more satisfied..
Excellent experience all around
1. Great price at e-trailer
2. Rapid shipping
3. Fairly easy to install. Instructions are very good. Takes a little trial and error to get some of the body panels off. Hitch fit my 2013 Volvo S60 almost perfectly. Bumps up against inside of bumper very slightly but it's easy to force everything to fit and the distortion is not visible. A year later, and the hitch and fit remain rattle free and perfect

perfect. no issues
Good product, prompt shipping. looks to be very good quality. I would order from etrailer again for sure if I ever need to. The install was easy considering the type of job that you are doing, estimated time may have been around an hour give or take a few minutes.
My only complaint about the hitch is that it's design makes the hitch sit very low after it is installed. I feel it could be an inch or two higher. I have already scraped it one time in a driveway with no load in the car. I am thinking that I didn't even need to trim the back fascia like the directions recommend because the hitch sits so low.

Could you take a picture to show how low it sits?I was thinking of putting this on a S60 R-Design.

This was my second trailer hitch and accessories purchase from etrailer. Product fit and works flawlessly. Great price, quick shipping, great customer service and responsiveness.

Thanks for the follow up. Everything works as it should and I have had no problems.
The “hitch”is that I rate “etrailer” as the best site in the market for products and information. The custom fit was perfect for the 2015 XC70.
Still working great one year later. The powder coating is starting to rust off but that is pretty typical of aftermarket receivers especially here in New England. They never hold up like factory hitches so you need to plan on repainting them at some point if you don’t like the look of rust.

Touching up the hitch is necessary in keeping it rust free. Rocks and debris can pop up and hit it causing paint chips. Please follow these tips for rust prevention:

I love it. Works great. Still looks great yet NE’s abrasive weather and toad conditions. Highly recommend
My son and I installed this trailer hitch our new 2017 Volvo XC 70 start to finish in about 90 minutes. The instructions were clear and the parts fit perfectly. The wiring harness was an easy install as well. The hitch looks good and functions well. We tow a Titan 4x10 aluminum trailer to haul around our Toro Z mower and Cyclone rake rig. I highly recommend etrailer.com. The quality was excellent at a very reasonable price. The next time I need a trailer hitch I will be buying it from etrailer.
Works perfectly. Installation required some disassembly and threading the power wire to the battery took a little effort but the instructions were clear and accurate.
Good purchase - very satisfied.

Unfortunately I recently sold the car. However the trailer hitch was great, I pulled my 2000lb boat around on a trailer and also used a [rental] trailer: both were uneventful. Great product. Thanks
Well designed and well made. Fits the our 2008 Volvo XC70 perfectly. Installation is straightforward and instructions are clear.
The hitch works as promised. it's on our 2012 volvo xc70.
It fit beautifully and the little bit of the underneath fascia that had to be cut away is completely invisible unless you are looking for it and happen to be be underneath the rear bumper :) Successfully towed several small boats after installation and it worked like a charm too.
I just bought my second one to put on another car. I like everything about this hitch.
The only downside is it gets rusty after a number of years. They make some with rubber coating but they cost more, so I'm sticking with this one.

Its been great. Only issue, and its a Volvo thing, not a Curt thing is that its low to the ground and you have to be aware if youre backing up towards an obstacle.
