Where the Bottom Straps of the Thule Passage Bike Rack Attach to on a 2012 Volvo S60
I checked with Thule and the lower clips of the Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier # TH910XT will hook onto the bottom edge of the trunk lid of your vehicle. Check out the review video and installation instructions I attached for you to check out for this product. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without a horizontal top tube you might also be interested in purchasing a Thule Bike Adapter Bar # TH982XT to provide a horizontal top tube for the rack to attach to...

Weight of the Thule OutWay Bike Racks
The Thule OutWay Platform # TH65JV that you referenced is a bit heavy. However, this latest version of this rack tips the scales at 28 lbs. For a lighter rack that is very similar with the exception that it is a hanging style bike rack check out the # TH45JV. This rack only weighs 13 lbs. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses 2 rubber coated straps to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation...

2021 Volvo S60 Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation
Yes, the Hatch Huggers # SA3035 are required to install the Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack # SA805BL on your 2021 Volvo S60. This is due to there not being enough room for the hooks to fit on the sides of the rear door. Since the hatch huggers sit inside the hatch and pull against it on the inside this takes care of the issue so you can have those side straps secured as well. The Saris Bones is a very popular rack but my main issue with it is how the arms and main body adjust in and out. Most...

Will the Thule OutWay TH45JV fit on my Volvo S60
The Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Adjustable Arms # TH45JV is a confirmed fit for all versions of the 2016 Volvo S60. This is the easiest trunk bike rack because it has only 2 straps compared to the 4-6 of other trunk bike racks. It can hold up to 2 bikes with a maximum of 33 lbs each. I have linked the other trunk mounts available if you would like to have a look.

Recommended Hitch And Wiring For 2013 Volvo S60 Trailer With Electric Brakes
If towing with your 2013 Volvo S60, there are a few things you will need. First, if you do not have a trailer hitch, I recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, part # 75916. This is a Class lll trailer hitch with a 2 inch receiver opening. The next item I recommend is the etrailer Ball Mount Kit, part # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with...

Will Trailer Hitch for 2016 Volvo S60 Void Warranty
When you install an aftermarket part on your vehicle like a trailer hitch in this case, you are protected by the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act. This act states, in part, that unless the installation and the part caused a problem then the warranty cannot be voided. I recommend looking it up online. For your 2016 Volvo S60 we have the Draw Tite hitch part # 75916 as a confirmed fit that would work well. It has the highest capacities and does not require a stabilizer strap like the Curt when...

Recommended Bike Rack for 2005 Volvo S60
There is definitely a bike rack that will work for you, but the first thing you'll need is a hitch if you do not already have one. I recommend the Draw-Tite # 36297, which is a Class II hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver that is confirmed to fit your 2005 Volvo S60. For a 2-bike platform rack that will work with a women's titanium bike and lightweight electric bike I strongly recommend the Kuat NV 2.0 # NV12B. A rack that will be getting a lot of use carrying nice bikes is going to need to...

Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2010 Volvo XC60
I recommend the Curt Custom Hitch, # 13268, for your 2010 Volvo XC60. This hitch comes with the complete hardware kit and installation instructions. It is a sturdy, square-tube design that remains mostly hidden once installed. I've attached a picture of this hitch installed on a 2011 Volvo XC60 so that you can see what it will look like. You can click on the part number to see the most current pricing. If you are going to be carrying a bike rack, one of the most popular racks for your...

Ball Mount With Most Rise for Curt Class II Trailer Hitch On 2007 Volvo S60
The Class II ball mount we offer with the tallest rise is the Curt # C45028. This ball mount has a rise of 5-3/8 inches. This gives you a height of 18-3/8 inches, still short of your 22-3/4 inch coupler height. Even if you used a hitch ball similar to the Curt # C40034 with a 2 inch rise, you would still be a couple of inches shy of your coupler height. Ideally, you want to tow level to avoid sway and traction issues, but this is as close as you may be able to get to towing your boat trailer...

Installation of Universal Trailer Wiring Harness C59496 on a 2006 Volvo S60
The # C59496 is not a vehicle specific item, so there aren't vehicle specific instructions available for it. However, I'd be happy to walk you though the process. You'll want to locate the wiring harnesses that feed the taillight assemblies. Accessing the rear of the assemblies as if you're changing a burned out bulb is the easiest spot to get to the wiring. Have a helper activate the left turn signal, and probe the wires using the circuit tester included with the kit until you find the...

Will the Saris Bones 2 # SA805BL Fit My 2015 Volvo S60?
Yes, I confirmed with Saris that the Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack # SA805BL will fit on your 2015 Volvo S60. In addition to the rack, you will need the Hatch Huggers # SA3035 to replace your top hooks. If you are looking for extra theft deterrence of your bikes and the Bones 2 itself, I recommend the Thule Passive Security Strap for Trunk Mounted Bike Carriers # TH533 along with the Saris Cable Lock # SA981. Also, if you have a bike that has a women's frame, a children's frame, or a step-thru...

Spare Tire Carrier Recommendation for a 2 inch Wide Trailer Frame
Yes, the Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier, # FSTC1000301, will fit on your 2 inch x 2 inch trailer frame. This carrier comes with two sets of mounting bolts and you will want to use the shorter, 3 inch bolts, for your trailer. I went out to our warehouse and confirmed the smaller bolts will work for you. You will have a small gap, a little over 1 inch, between the bottom of the frame and the lower bolts, so you may want to find a spacer to use between the frame and bolts to prevent any...

Difference Between Curt and Tow Ready 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch Hitch Adapters
Realistically there isn't much difference between the two extenders you referenced aside from price. Both are extenders that go from 1-1/4 to 2 inch and are both right at 6 inches in length. If it were me I would go with the Curt # C45785 over the Tow Ready part # 80303.

Do Dual Exhausts on 2004 Volvo S60R Interfere with Hitch Installation
I checked with my technical contact at Curt Manufacturing, a prominent maker of trailer hitches, regarding your question about the dual exhausts on your 2004 Volvo S60R interfering with hitch installation. He confirmed that the dual exhausts will not cause any issues with installation of their 1-1/4-inch Class II trailer hitch # C12318. Since the Draw-Tite hitch # 36297 that you referenced is pretty much identical to the Curt it too should bolt up without any issues related to the exhausts. At...

Fit of Thule OutWay Platform Bike Rack # TH65JV on 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe and 2014 Sonata
According to Thule, their OutWay Platform rack, part # TH65JV is a fit for both vehicles. This being said, due to the heavyweight nature of this bike rack (almost 50 lbs), I typically don't recommend it for newer vehicles and vehicles with plastic clad bumpers as the weight can cause damage. It would be better suited to a larger SUV. You should also take a look at the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms Item # Y02634. This 2-bike trunk rack weighs only 28 pounds...

Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Volvo S60
For a locking 2-bike trunk mount bike rack that is listed as a fit for your 2012 Volvo S60 I recommend the Thule OutWay, # TH45JV. This is the newest version of this rack. It features 2 rubber-coated straps that let you raise your trunk or hatch without removing it from your vehicle. This rack can also be locked into position to deter theft and features and integrated cable lock in the last bike position. The locks are keyed the same. It is also made in the USA and comes with a limited...

Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2013 Volvo S60
I have an option for you, but each of the trailer hitch receiver options for your 2013 Volvo S60 will require some trimming though it is pretty minor and is unseen with the hitch installed. I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75916 as it does not require a stabilizing strap like the Curt options, and has a 400lb tongue weight rating, and 4000lb trailer weight rating making it a great option for a bike rack like the Thule Hitching Post...
