  • Trailer Wiring Harness and Other Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 2007 Volvo XC70
  • The 119176KIT was discontinued some time ago and has been replaced with the # C59496. This kit will also work with your 2007 Volvo XC70. Unfortunately, we don't have a video of us installing it on your exact vehicle but it's the same basic process for any since it's a universal harness. It also installs similarly to the 119176KIT you saw the YouTube video on. If you don't already have a trailer hitch receiver on the Volvo I recommend the Draw-Tite # 36297. It's a custom designed Class...

  • Recommended Wiring To Use A Prodigy P3 Brake Controller On A 2012 Volvo XC70
  • When installing The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles - Proportional # 90195 on your 2012 Volvo XC70 the only other part you would need would be The Wiring Kit for 2, 4, 6, and 8 Brake Electric Trailer Brake Controllers # 5506. Since you already have the 4 flat and the 4 flat/ 7 way connector on your Volvo The Wiring Kit For Brake Controllers # 5506 just gives you the rest of the kit needed to activate your brakes on your trailer. I attached a review video link...

  • Parts Needed to Add 7 Way Connector to 2019 Volvo XC90
  • You can use absolutely any wiring harness with your Curt Hitch # C53HR since they're not tied together in any manner; Stealth hitches just give you an entire package and the big draw of those is that they're designed to only be seen when you're towing, which is quite important to some vehicle owners. With that said, in order to add a 7-way connector, you'll need to start with a 4 way since that gives you the base connections needed for a 7 way. To add a 4 way I recommend using the Tekonsha...

  • Parts to Install 7-Way Trailer Connector and Curt C51180 Echo Brake Controller on 2019 Volvo XC90
  • I'd be happy to help with that. Although the Curt # C13233 Class III hitch you specified is a fit for the 2019 Volvo XC90, I'd personally prefer the Curt # C53HR that you'd looked at because it's mostly concealed once installed, with the receiver tube and the safety chain hoops being the only visible portion of the hitch. To install the Curt # C51180 Echo Wireless Brake Controller, you'll first need a functional 4 pole trailer taillight wiring harness, such as what's provided by the #...

  • Brake Controller and 7-Way Trailer Connector on 2013 Volvo XC60
  • The install procedure and parts needed will depend on the type of brake controller you're wanting to install. If you're wanting to install a wireless brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy RF, part # TK94FR you'll need to begin with a functional 4 pole trailer connector. If you don't already have one, you can install one using part # 118739. To provide a 7-way, you'll need the # ETBC7L install kit. The kit includes a 4 pole to 7-way adapter that converts the 4 pole to a 7-way, as well...

  • Parts Needed To Install A Wiring Harness For Trailer Towing Connection On a 2018 Volvo XC90
  • Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C53HR will fit your 2018 Volvo XC90. For a wiring harness I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118683. This will give you a 4-way flat connector that works with most small trailers and for Auxiliary Lights # C53201. If you are only needing the 4-way the Mounting Bracket # C58001 will allow you to secure the 4-way to the end of the receiver for easy access. If you will be pulling larger trailers with electric brakes you will need the Universal...

  • Replacement Hitch Hardware for 2017 Volvo XC60 with Draw-Tite Hitch from Uhaul
  • I have a solution for you, and because U-Haul hitches are just Draw-Tite hitches that have been re-branded we can narrow down what you've got; however, the 75316 you've mentioned is not a hitch that has been confirmed for your 2017 XC60. With that said, the # 75671 or # 76116 are Draw-Tite hitches that are confirmed on your 2017 XC60 and it would seem that from inspecting the installation hardware that the # 76116 would be the correct one that you have since the hardware kit comes with...

  • Parts Needed to Install a Brake Controller in a 2006 Volvo XC90 With Factory 7-Way Trailer Connector
  • To install a brake controller on your 2006 Volvo XC90 with the factory 7-way trailer connector, you will need the brake controller wiring kit, # 5506. You will use the 20-amp circuit breaker on the black wire between the brake controller and the vehicle battery. Volvo did not make a plug-in style connector on the XC90, so the brake controller will have to be hardwired into the tow package. If you are also looking for a brake controller, I recommend the Prodigy P3, # 90195. This is one...

  • Trailer Hitch and Required Items to Tow Motorcycle Trailer with 2002 Volvo S60

You'll also need a wiring harness to operate the trailer's lights. You can use part # C59496 from Curt. Written instructions, install videos and helpful articles for both hitch and wiring are linked for you.

  • You will want the Stealth Hitches # SH87FRT if you plan on doing some towing or the Stealth Hitches # SH87FR if you plan on using the receiver to transport accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier with your 2021 Volvo XC60. Attached is an installation video of this hitch on a 2021 XC60 that you can check out.

  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way Vehicle Socket on 1991 Volvo 240 Series to Tow Travel Trailer

This is a popular configuration for trailers with electric brakes and 12V power service. You can install a mating 7-way socket on your 1991 Volvo 240 Series to provide lighting, a brake signal as well as 12V power using our brake controller installation kit # ETBC7. The kit includes a 7-way vehicle socket, wiring, circuit breakers and everything you need for installation of a...

  • Parts Needed to Tow Trailer with 2015 Volvo XC60
  • For your 2015 Volvo XC60 I recommend going with the Curt # 13268 hitch because the heavy powder coating that Curt uses on their hitches is going to help protect against rust and corrosion, which will be especially helpful in the wet Florida climate. This will be a great choice for your Volvo XC60 and will provide you with a safe solution for towing your boat. In order to tow a trailer you'll also need a few other things: a wiring harness, ball mount and hitch ball. For a wiring harness...

  • Which Hitch Should I Put On My 2018 Volvo XC90
  • When it comes to which hitch you should install on your 2018 Volvo XC90 I'd recommend The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2 inch # C53HR. It does have the same similar design as The Draw-Tite 76194. The Curt # C53HR has a concealed cross tube design which will have a sleeker look when installed on your vehicle. It has a gross towing weight up to 6,000 pounds and has a gross tongue weight up to 900 pounds. I would check your vehicle's manual to see the proper towing...

  • Can the etrailer Cargo Carrier be Used to Transport Cargo When Folded Up?
  • I guess in theory you can use the 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # e98874 folded up to carry cargo if you were to use some ratchet straps, but you'd be much better off using it folded down which is the way it was designed to be used.

  • 4-Way to 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector Adapter for a 2014 Volvo XC60
  • You are correct that wiring harness # 118739 for your 2014 Volvo XC60 does not have a connection for the reverse lights on the vehicle. You will need a 4 to 5-Way flat adapter, # 20036, to convert it to a 5-Way. The only tricky part is locating the reverse light wire on the vehicle. It looks like the reverse lights are in the tail light assemblies (instead of in the hatch) so it should not be all that difficult. All you need to do is find the back of the reverse light and the wire that...
