Unfortunately, Stealth doesn't sell the wiring harness separately from the ball mount portion for the # SH67FR hitch. What you can do is purchase the hitch along with the ball mount and the wiring which provides a cost savings. The hitch, ball mount and wiring is sold in a package as part # SH67FRT.
If you'll be towing with that hitch, you will need the ball mount assembly included with the # SH36FR wiring package, as the ball mount is a proprietary assembly that nobody else offers. view full answer...
A little bit of play is acceptable, the coupler should be tight enough that the coupler won't come off the ball, but not so tight you can't close the latch. I typically tighten the coupler up until I feel a slight resistance when closing the coupler latch, then I'll back it off slightly from there.
Reese sells a white lithium grease that's conveniently packaged for use on hitch balls, part # 58117. view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13268 that fits your 2012 Volvo XC60 comes with a limited lifetime warranty from Curt.
I recommend installing the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118739 when you install the receiver. This will give you a 4-way flat connector for use with Auxiliary Lights # C53201 on any hitch mounted accessories you may use that impair the view of your tail lights. It can also be used for the lights on most small trailers you may tow. While the harness only comes with... view full answer...
The Thule EasyFold XT 2 E-Bike Platform Rack # TH903202 weighs 45 pounds when folded for carrying. It also has integrated wheels on the back to assist with transporting to and from your vehicle. I've attached a video review of all the features including the wheels to assist. For comparison this is about the weight of the average loaded suitcase. view full answer...
The reason lies with both the popularity of the vehicle as well as the ability of the hitch manufacturers to obtain vehicles for test fitting. The hitch manufacturers are having difficulty obtaining vehicles for hitch fit testing, due to the high demand for vehicles following the onset of the pandemic. This is especially true for higher end vehicles like Volvos.
The receiver tube portion, which is the only attachment included with the # SH47FR is intended only for use with hitch mounted... view full answer...
You should always abide by the limits set in the owner's manual, as they have the final say and have tested the capabilities of the vehicle. So the hitch on your Volvo should not take any more weight than the 165 lb tongue weight capacity when using the Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y62VR.
Even when you're parked and not traveling, excessive weight will put undue stress on the hitch and frame, so be sure to stay at that 165 lbs. view full answer...
The Yakima speed knob feature use on the Yakima RidgeBack bike rack employs a wedge on the bike rack's shank that expands rearward and outward as the knob is tightened which serves to lodge the shank into the receiver tube. Will this lock provide some protection against a crime of opportunity? It sure will. A random passerby won't be able to simply grab the rack, give it a yank and walk away with it. However, if a thief is determined enough and has the tools and the lack of witnesses to... view full answer...
You are correct! When someone invests in a carbon fiber bike we automatically assume that they will want to take extra precautions to protect it. This is why we recommend a rack like the Thule T2 Pro 2-Bike Rack, # TH83JV, which uses a ratcheting arm to secure the bike by the front wheel eliminating contact with the frame. No contact with the frame equates to less chance of scratches which equals happy cyclist! view full answer...
You always want to go by the lowest-rated component in any towing set up, which in this case is the 200 lb tongue weight of your 2019 Volvo V90.
So that is the necessary tongue weight you will need to abide by after installing the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver with Towing Kit # SH67FRT. view full answer...

Quite accurate; the margin of error is 3 percent for the etrailer Tongue Weight Scale for Campers and Utility Trailers - 2,000-lb Capacity # e99044.
I don't see varying levels of liquid in the photos, but do see a customer photo with the scale that does not have liquid. The # e99044 gauge was redesigned some time ago and didn't used to have liquid, which is why the photos are different. view full answer...

The Curt Trailer Hitch # C53HR would be a good fit for your 2017 CX90. I do understand your hesitation with installing the hitch because the bumper needs to be removed as well as the heat shield and skid shield if present. We do not have a list of installers around the country but If you have a trusted mechanic nearby, they will have the tools and a lift that will make the job much easier and they will be able to install the hitch.
This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver... view full answer...
There isn't a way you can raise the receiver height or alter the positioning of any trailer hitch for your 2019 Volvo V60, including the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH47FR.
The issue with this vehicle is that it's back end is low to the ground so I can understand your concern about ground contact, but it would have to be a very steep incline for the receiver itself to make contact. A bike rack would be more likely to make contact because it sticks out so the best thing you can... view full answer...
On the used Thule Passage 2, # TH910XT, the condition: installed status indicates the carrier was used for demo videos and has been installed on multiple vehicles for that purpose. You can expect normal wear and tear like any product that has been put on and taken off vehicles many times. And wear and tear is cosmetic. The rack is still structurally and functionally fine. view full answer...
