Overall very happy. Great price and quality. Fits the vehicle nice, I think it would be fairly tucked under the bumper (unfortunately just prior to receiving this, my car was hit, damaging the rear bumper cover).
It was fairly easy to install, my tip I learned it to use a piece of wood, strap and a Jack. Place the wood under the receiver and on top of the Jack, and strap the 3 pieces together. It takes a little to find the balance point, but on the three hitches I’ve installed, this made a huge difference as you can easily maneuver the assembly into place. I didn’t drop the exhaust down, but it definitely would have gave more wiggle room, but was manageable.

The estimated time for the hitch install was 20-40 minutes and that was right and it was an easy installation. The wiring harness kit was complete and took a bit more time although not hard at all.

All in all a great hitch at a great price.

No problems at all after much towing.

Delivery was very quick. Installation was super easy. 3 bolts and done. No need to disconnect the exhaust tailpipe. The quality looks great. I haven't hooked anything up yet but it appears to be very secure.

Love it. My only minor criticism is that it should come with some sort of cover. Even if its a cheap plastic one just to protect it when its not in use. I realize that is probably more of a manufacturer issue but it could actually be a nice marketing tool for you if you guys added one with your company name on it.

Thanks for the follow up Marty, we do have a variety of hitch covers available that do fit a 1-1/4 inch hitch. I have included a link to all of our current offerings. I have also had our logo hitch cover # 22281 added to this product page as a related item

I felt like this was a quality product. However your install instructions say that it is a 20 to 40 minute install depending on skill level. I can tell you as a trained mechanic. with my specific model 99 s70 awd ( which did require drilling, and the complete removal of the bumper). That this install will take at least 40 minutes. however I could have done it in probably 5 if I didn't have to drill holes or remove bumper. The hitch seems quality and should easily tow a couple dirtbikes. the only issue i had with install is that my specific year/model. Also needs longer bolts than the ones supplied int the kit. came with 1 3/4" Needed about 2 1/4" So had to get a couple new bolts. other than that. I think this is a great product for the price. I also blame any of the fitment issues i had on my car. As I have always had a little bit of trouble finding the right parts for my car.



by:

Super easy to install. The directions said I might need to drop my exhaust and I did not. 3 bolts in, and I check them every couple months even though I lock-tited them and no issues!



by:
2000 Volvo XC70

Installation of the hitch on my 2000 Volvo XC 70 AWD was easy. The directions suggested to loosen the muffler. Since I was able to fit the hitch in place without messing with the muffler, I decided unnecessary movement of the muffler wasn't warranted. There was no need to jack the car up. I inserted the right side bolt of the hitch first. Laying on my back I used my leg to hold up the left side of the hitch. The previous reviewer estimated were on target, 20-30 minutes.

Hitch looks great! Arrived quickly too!



by:

Just got it yesterday afternoon - it all appears to be in great shape. Only got a chance to kind of hold it up in place, but the installation looks relatively easy. It will look professional when it is done because the curve of the hitch matches the design of the car.



by:

Installation was a little bit of a struggle, I ended up needing to grind down the end of the strip welded onto nut in order to properly position the nut to thread the bolt.



by:
1995 Volvo 850 Series

Install was easy, everything fit perfect and I did not have to drill any holes.



by:
2004 Volvo C70

The package arrived in 2 days. Installation very well, maybe one hour, but this was mainly because I didn't have a very good 1/2" drill bit.

  • Does Exhaust have to Lower and Is there Drilling to Install Curt Hitch on a 1997 Volvo 850 Sedan
    To install the Curt Hitch part # C12211 on your 1997 Volvo 850 Series sedan you will need to drop the exhaust and there will be some drilling required. The instructions say that some sedans will require drilling through the bottom inboard holes into the bumper brackets and bumper for clearance of the bolts. These instructions are attached.

  • Recommended Hitch for Towing 2 Horse Trailer with 1994 Volvo 850 Wagon
    Although I'd love to sell you a hitch, the only ones available for your 1994 Volvo 850 are Class II rated, which has a maximum capacity of 3500 lbs, which is about 400-500 lbs less than your trailer will weigh. And not to add insult to injury, but my research indicates the towing capacity of the Volvo 850 is a max of 3300 lbs, which again is well under the weight of your horses and trailer. For the safety of you, your horses and other motorists, I can't recommend using that vehicle to...

  • Is There a Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 1996 Volvo 850 Series
    I do have an option for you but there are no trunk mount bike rack options confirmed to fit a 1996 Volvo 850 Series. That said, you can install a trailer hitch, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12211 and then use a hitch mounted bike rack like the Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Rack part # S63360. This will be a far better option in regards to ease of use.

  • Hitch Receiver for 1998 Volvo V70 XC
    Yes. The Curt # C12211 is designed to fit on the 1998 Volvo V70, including the XC models. This hitch has a 1-1/4" receiver and a concealed cross tube to minimize visibility and maximize ground clearance. If you're going to be towing a small trailer you'll likely need a wiring harness like the # C59496 which comes with the upgraded Modulite converter to protect your vehicle's electrical components from backfeed and potential damage. If you need a ball mount, you'll want to use one for...

  • Is Drilling or Lowering Exhaust Required to Install a Curt Trailer Hitch on a 1998 Volvo S70
    Curt does not specify which vehicle models require drilling or temporarily lowering the exhaust when installing hitch # C12211. It would appear that the 2000 Volvo XC70 does not require lowering the muffler but no work on drilling. I assume on some 1998 models drilling is not required. The bottom line is that you won't know for sure until it is time to install the hitch. I have linked the instructions for you. If you are going to use a hitch for a bike rack or cargo carrier then I recommend...

  • Can Weight Distribution Be Used With 2000 Volvo V70
    If you are planning on towing with your 2000 Volvo V70, you will not want to exceed the towing weight capacity or tongue weight capacity listed in your owner's manual. Doing so can cause damage to the vehicle, along with creating an unsafe condition. The hitches we offer for your Volvo are all Class ll hitches and have 1-1/4 inch receiver openings, like part # C12211 and part # 36262. None of the weight distribution systems will work with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. The only recommendation...
