Expert Answers about Volvo XC90


  • Compatibility of Dexter Brake Assembly With a Lippert 6K Axle on 2010 Forest River 5th Wheel
  • Dexter electric brake assemblies, including the # 23-458-459 set you've looked at are indeed compatible with Lippert axles. Lippert and Dexter brake assemblies share the same bolt pattern and overall dimensions, so they will be interchangeable on your Forest River 5th wheel. For mounting hardware, use the # BRKH12 kit. One kit will install two brake assemblies so for a tandem axle, you'd need two of them. If you click the provided link, you can see a video of the brake assemblies being...

  • Redarc Brake controller RED44FR
  • It is possible to install the Redarc Tow-Pro # RED44FR into virtually every vehicle but will depend on the experience that the installer has. Most RV dealerships only like to go the Plug and Play route, which your 2016 Volvo XC90 does not offer. The Brake Controller is looking for 4 wire connections. A constant 12v power, a 12V ground, a brake switch power(the wire that only shows power when pedal is pressed) and an output to the trailer 7-way. If this is something that you want to attempt...

  • Compatibility of RockyMounts SplitRail 4-Bike Rack and Stealth Hitches Rack Receiver on 2018 XC90
  • The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH27FR measures 3-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to rear end of the receiver and it has a standard hitch pin hole depth of 2-1/2 inches (center of the hitch pin hole to the front face of the receiver opening). That being said, the hitch pin hole depth on your RockyMounts SplitRail LS 4 Bike Platform Rack # RKY11404 is standard as well and so you won't have any problem installing the bike rack on the # SH27FR. It also looks like...

  • Can I Use the Blue Ox Track Pro with My 2016 Volvo XC90 Hybrid with Trailer Stability Assist?
  • I went ahead and confirmed with your 2016 Volvo XC90 Hybrid's owner's manual that it does not appear that Volvo has any guidelines about using a weight distribution system with the Trailer Stability Assist (TSA) activated. However, worse comes to worst, you can always turn off the TSA by selects Sport mode by deactivating the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) via the menu system in the center display. This will eliminate the issue of using the Blue Ox Track Track Pro # BLU36FR. With this...

  • Will Hands-Free Liftgate Operate with Curt Hitch Receiver Installed on 2017 Volvo XC90
  • The Curt # C53HR will not prevent the hands-free liftgate feature on your 2017 Volvo XC90 from working. The only way it may impact is you likely won't be able to activate it with your foot directly under the hitch receiver but it will still work just to the side. If you're going to be towing with your Volvo, the wiring harness # 118683 is confirmed to fit. This will provide you with a 4-way trailer connector. It installs by plugging into the wiring which is behind both tail lights. For...

  • Carrying 3 Bikes on a 2019 Volvo XC90
  • Both the 2-bike, part # Y02637, and 3-bike, part # Y02638, versions of the Yakima HangOut trunk mount rack do fit your 2019 Volvo XC90. However, you're correct, the Glass Hatch Hooks, part # Y02612, that are included with the racks can only be used with 2 bikes. So even though the 3-bike rack fits your vehicle you're limited to 2 bikes on it. To carry 3 bikes on your Volvo I recommend adding the Curt trailer hitch, part # C53HR, and a hitch mount bike rack. Hitch mount racks are generally...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness for 2021 Volvo XC90
  • Let's start with the trailer hitch receiver for your 2021 Volvo XC90, and for towing what you will need is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13233. This hitch has a 6,000 lb towing capacity and 900 lb tongue weight capacity though I do recommend checking your owner's manual to see what the capacity of your Volvo is and abide by that figure. Then for a wiring harness I highly recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118683. This harness is the best for your XC90 because it has the...

  • The Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack # HRF2-3 is confirmed to fit Volvo XC90 years 2003-2019. This is a great rack as it installs easily onto the rear hatch of your vehicle and can safely hold up to three bikes. Its unique top arm design allows it to secure the rack to your vehicle while allowing clearance from your vehicle spoiler, preventing scratching or other damage. Note that depending on the frame style of your bikes, you might need an adapter bar to use the bikes with the...

  • Will the Prodigy RF Brake Controller Work with a 2017 Volvo XC90
  • The only thing that the Prodigy RF # TK94FR needs to function properly is a functioning 7-Way connector on the tow vehicle. We have had customers use this controller with various model Volvos successfully. Every once in a while someone will have a problem pairing the handheld part with the main unit on the trailer. But there are ways to fix those issues so rest assured that if you do have a problem it can be resolved fairly easily.

  • Snow Chains for 2018 Volvo XC90 with 275/45r20 Tires
  • From what I was able to find with my research it looks like Volvo does not recommend chains on wheels larger than 19", so your 20" wheels are going to be slightly too large and using chains on them might potentially damage some of the steering or suspension components. I do recommend checking your vehicle's owner's manual to confirm this. If your manual states that chains can be used, the Titan # TC2228CAM are a confirmed fit for your tires and would be a good choice. You also may want...

  • How to Use a Curt Stability Strap on a 2016 Volvo XC90
  • I contacted Curt directly, and they have no direct solution for the 2016 Volvo XC90. In this case, I'd recommend going to either side and as close as possible to that piece. If you're worried about the stability of your load, Curt recommends purchasing another strap, part # 18050 and use it in tandem on the other side to secure. The most important goal is to limit the amount of bouncing that the hitch is doing, thus reducing the stress on the hitch.

  • Can the Thule Interstate Roof Cargo Bag be Used on a Volvo with No Roof Rack
  • The Volvo XC series didn't start until the 2003 model year. The 2002 model year options from Volvo were the C70, Cross Country, S40, S60, S80, V40, V70, VHD, VN, and Xpeditor. In 2003 they dropped the Xpeditor and added the XC70 and XC90. Remember that build date is almost always 1 year before the model year of the vehicle. So with this in mind I would need to know which specific model you have to recommend the right roof rack if you decided to go that route. The other option is to skip...
