Expert Answers about Volvo XC60
- Recommended Towing System for 2013 Volvo XC60
- For your 2013 Volvo XC60, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 13268 you stated. Then for your wiring, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118739 and the # ETBC7L. Then for your brake controller I recommend the Curt Echo # C51180 which is a wireless system that you can store in your glove box when not in use. It is a great controller with no wires run to your dash and can be transported from vehicle...
view full answer... - Recommended Bike Rack to Carry 2 e-Bikes on 2019 Volvo XC60
- We've got a great solution for you that would accommodate your 52 lb bike perfectly. The Yakima OnRamp, part # Y36FR would handle 2 e bikes weighing up to 66 lbs each. The rack includes an integrated ramp that makes loading heavier bikes easy. The rack can tilt rearward for easier cargo access, and holds the bikes by the seat post tube, so it works with alternative framed bikes and bikes with fenders. The rack also includes a cable lock to secure the bikes to the rack.
A hitch lock is...

- Any of the trunk mounted bike racks that are a fit for your XC60 will interfere with the use of the rear wiper. Is it possible to disable the automatic feature of the wiper? If so, that's what I'd recommend you do.
Your other option would be to install a receiver hitch like part # 13268 and use the hitch as an attachment point for a hitch mounted bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Commuter, part # HR2500. The Commuter provides softly padded cradles to protect your bike, as well as a built...
view full answer... - Easy Brake Controller Solution for 2018 Volvo XC60
- We have easy brake controller solutions for your 2018 Volvo XC60 but we don't have a way to wire in a P2 to your vehicle that has the factory tow package. Instead we have the very easy to install Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180 which basically just would plug into the 7-way at the rear of your vehicle and once synced to a smart phone is ready to tow.
I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2013 Volvo XC60 for Carrying 2 Bikes
- The benefits of a trunk mount are lower cost, no additional mount is needed, and they can store easier since they take up less space than many trailer hitch mount racks.
Trunk mount bike racks are limited to 2 or 3 bike models, they carry the bikes closer to the vehicle than a hitch mount, and the rack must make constant contact with the vehicle. It is possible for the bike rack to scratch the vehicle paint if the rack and vehicle are dirty during installation.
A hitch mounted rack is...

- To carry a hitch mounted bike rack with your 2020 Volvo XC60 T8 I recommend the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # SH87FR.
This hitch has a 600lb tongue weight rating which is plenty for a bike rack, and the receiver can be removed so when you are not needing to carry your bikes the hitch will be completely invisible. Keep in mind that this receiver is designed for hitch accessories like a cargo carrier or bike rack only, and cannot be used for a ball mount to tow...
view full answer... - Roof Rack Recommendations for 2013 Volvo XC60
- I've checked with all of our roof rack vendors, and unless your XC60 is an oddball, it should have a small accessory attachment rail running down either side of the roof, as shown in the diagram I've provided for you.
Thule offers a SquareBar and the WingBar EVo roof rack. Both use the same Thule foot pack, part # TH710601 and fit kit, part # TH186015.
For the SquareBars use the 47 inch SquareBars, part # TH712200. The WingBars come in both silver, part # TH711200, and black, part #...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a Bike Rack on a 2017 Volvo XC60
- I really like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e95AR for your 2017 Volvo XC60. This features a hidden crosstube and a matte black finish for a really sleek yet durable look. The matte black finish is also a bit more tough than the classic glossy black finish we see on most other hitches which means it will resist corrosion longer and better than the glossy alternative.
If you were planning on using this for a bike rack I recommend checking out the Thule T2 Pro XTR # TH83JV because...
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Box for 2018 Volvo XC60
- We have a large selection of roof cargo boxes that will work well on your 2018 Volvo XC60. The specific color you choose will really be a matter of personal preference but I like the look of a glossy black box like the Thule Motion XT # TH629906 or the more economically priced Malone # MPG911 on your Volvo. The box you choose will also depend on how much space you are needing for cargo. The Thule Motion XT will provide 22 cubic feet of space while the Malone Box will give you 18 cubic feet...
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation for Carrying E-Bike with Step Through Frame
- I have what I think is your best option...The Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202. This rack was specifically designed to fit carry the heavier e-bikes that typically have the step through frames like you mentioned. Check out the picture I attached to see what I mean. What's really nice about this rack also is that it has a ramp setup that can pull out to help you load/unload the bikes. I also attached a review video for the rack for you to check as well.
There really isn't a great way for...
view full answer... - Can I Tow My Geo Pro 15TB Travel Trailer With My 2018 Volvo XC60
- I can get you setup to tow your travel trailer with your 2018 Volvo XC60. The answer to your first question is no, you cannot use a hitch receiver adapter to tow. I did check your owner's manual and your vehicle is rated to tow up to 3,500 lbs with a brake controller. (3,280 lbs if you will be towing 1,000m or higher, above sea level.) As a result, you should not have any problems towing the Geo Pro 15TB travel trailer.
In order to tow your travel trailer you will need a hitch and a ball...

- There are two options available if you would like to add a Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver to your 2021 Volvo XC60. If you do not plan on towing you need the # SH87FR. If you will be towing, you will need the # SH87FRT which comes with the towing kit.
If you get the # SH87FR you will not be able to tow a trailer but you can still carry accessories. This hitch has a completely hidden design and a maximum tongue weight of 600 lbs. Should you decide you want to use your vehicle for...

view full answer... - Recommended Trunk-Mount Bike Carrier For 2015 Volvo XC60
- Thule must have changed their fit recommendations for your vehicle. At one time they did have racks that were a fit but they took them all down. Yakima does have confirmed fits though that would work well on your 2015 Volvo XC60.
The Yakima FullBack part # Y02634 is a confirmed fit that would be an excellent option. The rack is similar in price to the Thule you mentioned but is loaded with features like anti-sway cages and has a wider mounting pad to better distribute the weight of the...

view full answer... - Tire Chains for Tire Size 255/45R20 on 2018 Volvo XC60 T8 Inscription
- For tire chains that install quickly I recommend the Konig Self-Tensioning, Low-Pro Snow Tire Chains. These simply drape over your tire and then after making sure they are placed correctly you simply step on the swing-out pedal. Once you flip the pedal up and start driving the chains have a self-tensioning feature that help them fit even better.
The correct part number for the chains that fit the 255/45R20 tires on your 2018 Volvo XC60 T8 Inscription is # TH04115255 on our site. I have...
view full answer... - What Bikes Racks for a 2019 Volvo XC60 Wont Interfere with the Backup Camera/Sensors
- I do have an option for you but all hitch mounted bike racks and most trunk mounted bike racks have the chance of interfering with your backup camera and sensors. Therefore, if you want to retain full function of these features you will have no other option but to place the bike/bikes on the roof with a roof rack and roof mounted bike rack.
For a roof rack, I recommended the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack which is composed of part # TH7602B-TH7602B and part # THKIT4058. This system uses...
view full answer... - Can Weight Distribution Be Used On a 2018 Volvo XC60
- The 2018 Volvo XC60 cannot use a weight distribution system regardless of trailer hitch as the vehicle is not rated for this. These systems are typically excluded from unibody frames like that on the Volvo XC60. The best trailer hitch option available is the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # SH87FRT. This option, although expensive, is a complete kit that comes with everything you need and has a completely hidden install while not in use for a 100% factory appearance....
