  • Recommended Wiring for 2001 Volvo V70
  • The 59146 is not a harness we carry. The harness should draw adequate power from the battery to power the converter and the trailer lights but we don't have the confirmed fit on your vehicle. Curt does not confirm fits for the converters, so I cannot confirm it on their end either. What I can confirm is the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236. This has been tested to work with your 2001 Volvo V70. This converter will allow more amperage for...

  • We do! The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e53KR is confirmed to fit your 2022 Volvo XC90. This hitch has a bolt-on installation (some drilling required) and will provide you with a 2" receiver opening which is the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories such as bike racks, cargo carriers and ball mounts.

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2017 Volvo XC60 to Carry Thule Hullavator
  • To install the Thule Hullavator part # TH898 on the roof of your 2017 Volvo XC60 will require a roof rack that has bars that hang past the feet of the rack at least 4 inches. For that Thule recommends the WingBar Evo Roof Rack part # TH711200, # TH710601, and # TH186015 which gives you a set of crossbars that are aerodynamically shaped which allows for minimal wind noise and also a very secure base for the Hullavator to install.

  • What Bike Rack do You Recommend for Transporting an E-Bike on a Truck and Travel Trailer?
  • I have a solution for you. Any time you use any adapter like the MaxxTow Hitch Adapter # MT70032, you reduce the overall weight capacity of the hitch by 50%. With that being said, that will reduce your trailer's hitch to only 65 pounds of available tongue weight. Since the OnRamp # Y36FR already weighs 39.5 pounds, that leaves only 25.5 pounds of available tongue weight on the rack. This is extremely dangerous. We unfortunately do not recommend going this route even if you plan on further...

  • Replacement Grab Handle Recommendation for 2019 Geo Pro 19FBS
  • I looked up pictures of your 2019 Geo Pro 19FBS and it has the Lend-a-Hand Folding Grab Handle # AM-200 installed on it so this would be the correct replacement. I attached a review video for this for more info for you to check out as well.

  • Determining Towing Weight Capacities of 2013 Volvo XC70 and 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • The Draw-Tite Hitch # 75916 is rated for 4,000 lbs towing/400 lbs tongue while your 2013 Volvo XC70 is rated for about 3,300 lbs towing/330 lbs tongue from what I could find online (you will want to verify this in your copy of the owner's manual). The Draw-Tite Hitch # 76227 is rated for 4,000 lbs towing/600 lbs tongue while your 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon 3.6L is rated for 2,700 lbs towing/200 lbs tongue. When determining the towing capacity of your trailer hitch/vehicle you will be limited...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2011 Volvo XC60 with Factory Side Rails
  • I do have a solution for you, however the Rhino Rack 2500 Series Rack you mentioned in your question is designed to mount onto naked roofs (without factory side rails) so it will not work on your 2011 Volvo XC60. If you want to stay with Rhino Rack, I recommend the Rhino Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack, which consists of two 49" Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 and the SRB Legs that will mount to the flush factory side rails on your Volvo, part # RRSX025. I like this system because the aero crossbars...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for Carrying E-Bike with Fenders
  • The RockyMounts SplitRail LS 2 Bike Platform Rack # RKY11404 that you referenced is a great bike rack but it's not ideal for a full fendered bike like your e-bike due to how it attaches to the bikes by grabbing the front tire which is where your fender would be. A much better option would be the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 which uses a frame clamp instead that was designed for the often-times unique shape of e-bike frames. It also comes with a ramp that pulls out which makes loading...

  • How to Determine Correct Trailer Hitch Lock
  • We definitely have a trailer hitch lock that will work for you, though the correct one is going to depend on the hitch you have on your 2015 Volvo XC70. If you have an aftermarket Class III trailer hitch with a 2" receiver like the Draw-Tite # 75916 than the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98880 will absolutely work for you. If you happen to have a factory 2" hitch then you would need to make sure its width is less than 2-5/8" in order for Lock # 7683 to work; if it is longer you would...

  • Adapter to Use a 1-1/4 Inch Thule Bike Rack in a 2 Inch Hitch on a 2017 Volvo XC60
  • I have a solution for you but adapter # 853-7489 does not fit the older Thule Helium bike racks. What you can use is # HT02. This is a reducer sleeve that will allow you to use a 1-1/4 inch accessory in a 2 inch trailer hitch. Because it is a reducer sleeve it will not reduce the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch.

  • Anti-Rattle Device for a 2004 Volvo V40 Towing a Trailer
  • The rattle that you are experiencing is because the ball mount shank is slightly smaller than the receiver opening so that you can get it in and out easily. This is the same for any trailer hitch. The receiver depth has less, if any, impact on the rattle. but not to worry because I have a solution for you to take care of that annoying rattle. The issue though with Class I trailer hitches is that most of the ball mounts for them are solid so an anti-rattle device like # SHP2082 would not...

  • How Much Bumper Trimming is Required to Install Curt Hitch on 2018 Volvo S90
  • I attached a picture I took from the install instructions for the Curt hitch part # C13305 that fits the 2018 Volvo S90 Inscription that covers what needs to be trimmed as well as having a diagram. Basically it's just a small section that has to come off of the lower rear fascia. We don't have a hitch that fits a V90 Inscription at this time (November 2018).

  • Trailer Hitch, Bike Rack and Cargo Carrier Recommendations for a 2001 Volvo V70 Wagon
  • As none of our hitch manufacturers offer a Class III hitch for your Volvo wagon, I'd recommend a Class II hitch like the Draw-Tite # 36297. If you click the provided links, you can see the bike racks and cargo carriers available that are compatible with a Class II hitch. For a cargo carrier, I'd go with the Pro Series 20x47 Cargo Carrier # 63155. The # 70647 hitch you mentioned would not be a fit for your Volvo wagon.

  • Recommended Towing Mirrors For a 2018 Volvo XC90
  • I recommend using the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors # 7070-2 on your 2018 Volvo XC90. There currently is not a custom fit slip on mirror but these CIPA mirrors have adjustable arms allowing you to adjust them to the profile of your mirrors. The simple Straps # 11952STRAP are easy to use and replaceable in the event one is broken or lost. You can also get a single Mirror # 7070 in the event the mirror get broken.

  • Does Yakima Fullback Trunk Bike Rack Fit 2017 Volvo XC60
  • The Yakima Fullback # Y02634 is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Volvo XC60 and the best choice for a trunk rack. Most likely what you saw about there only be hitch options was before Yakima had a chance to test fit the rack on your vehicle.

  • Concealed Trailer Hitch Fit For 2018 Volvo V60 Cross Country
  • I reached out to the manufacturer, who told me they had not test fit the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH97FR on a 2018 Volvo V60 Cross Country, so they would not be able to guarantee a fit. That said, we do offer a concealed trailer hitch that I confirmed with the manufacturer will fit your V60 Cross Country, which is from Curt: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13266 This hitch has a 2 inch receiver and a completely hidden design, just like the Stealth, with the difference being...

  • Best Trunk-Mounted Bike Rack To Transport 3 Bikes On A 2021 Volvo XC90
  • The Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # Y02638 that you mentioned is the only 3-bike rack that is confirmed to fit the trunk of your 2021 Volvo XC90. This is the bike rack I recommend going with as there are not any 4-bike carriers for the trunk of your vehicle at this time. This attaches to the top of the trunk with the included straps and will not interfere with any roof rack / crossbars. I also think it's a great idea to add Security Strap # Y02623. One end...

  • Recommended Hitch and E-Bike Rack for a 2011 Volvo C70 Convertible
  • The only hitch available for a 2011 Volvo C70 convertible is the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C11065. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Volvo with included hardware. This is a class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver it has a 200 lbs maximum tongue weight and a 2,000 lbs towing capacity. I have linked an installation video below. The highest capacity bike rack that fits a Class I hitch is the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack item # TH903202. The EasyFold has a 65 lbs per-bike capacity,...
