Expert Answers about Volvo S60


  • 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...

  • Trailer Wiring and Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2004 Volvo S60
  • You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # C59236. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake...

  • 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.

  • Bike Rack Compatibility for 2016 Volvo Cross Country S60
  • The Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # SA805BL is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. It is foldable, weighs just 9 lbs, and works great for long trips. There haven't been any damages reported to us and I don't believe there will be any when used properly. It is not recommended to open the trunk when the rack is installed which is true of all trunk mounted bike racks.

  • Hitch Cover for Class III Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch on a 2017 Volvo S60
  • We do have exactly what you will need for Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75916 on your 2017 Volvo S60 but # 58374 is not it. You just need a hitch cover such as # 22282 if you want a "plain Jane" type of cover. Or you could get one with the Draw-Tite logo such as # DT7010. We have lots of hitch covers so if you are looking for something specific other than a plain one let me know and I can see what we have!

  • Can Blue Ox Weight Distribution Shank# BXW4000 be Used with Curt Weight Distribution System
  • Yes, the Blue Ox weight distribution shank part # BXW4000 can be used with the Curt weight distribution system part # C17500 that you have. The shanks and head attachment bracket thankfully are almost all made to the same dimensions among manufacturers.

  • Best Trunk Bike Rack for 2012 Volvo S60
  • The best trunk mounted bike rack for your 2012 Volvo S60 is the OutWay part # TH45JV that you referenced. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the cables also last longer. The cables store inside the rack so there are no loose straps ends to flap around. The cables can also be locked into position...

  • Bike Rack Solution for 2005 Volvo S60R w Body Kit
  • Since you have an R model that has a body kit we can't guarantee any of the hitches we offer will fit without issue. It would appear they might fit but you'd have to cut up the body kit. Were you looking to carry a bike rack by chance? There are other options for that.

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2014 Volvo S60 to Use a Platform Bike Carrier
  • It is possible for you to come by and visit us here in Wentzville. If you want us to install the trailer hitch you would want to call customer service and set up an appointment. In many cases we can perform installations for free. When you call they can offer you more details. In the mean time the hitches for your 2014 Volvo S60 do require some fascia removal and trimming. Removing the fascia just takes some time and the area that needs to be trimmed is not very large. Take a look at the...

  • Recommended Kayak Carrier With Load Assist for a 2008 Volvo S60 With Rhino-Rack Aero Roof Rack
  • The Rhino-Rack Roof Rack # RRRS472B that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2008 Volvo S60 and has a weight capacity of 165 lbs. I found an owner's manual online that put your roof weight capacity at 220 lbs so the roof rack will be the limiting factor, but you will want to check your owner's manual to make sure. The best load assist kayak carrier that we have to offer is the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs # TH898. This will be compatible with...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 2018 Volvo S60 Trailer Hitch Recommendation
  • I recommend going with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e77KR for your 2018 Volvo S60. The etrailer hitches are my favorite because they have a matte black finish which does a great job at blending in with any black trim on your vehicle as well as hiding any scratches from road debris.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2013 Volvo S60
  • For your 2013 Volvo S60 I actually recommend just going with the Draw-Tite Class III 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75916. This 2 inch hitch essentially has an identical mounting bracket design to the Curt 1-1/4" Hitch # C12066 you referenced, so it's not going to stick out any further. In fact based on installations we have performed with both hitches the Draw-Tite will likely be a bit more recessed behind the bumper than the smaller Curt model. A 2" receiver is going to open up the door...

  • Best Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2006 Volvo S60
  • I would go with the Saris Bone part # SA805BL over the Thule Gateway # TH88VR. The Bones weighs less, costs less, and contacts the vehicle in fewer places. Check out the review video I attached for more info. The nicest trunk rack we offer that has been confirmed to fit your vehicle is the Thule OutWay # TH45JV though. 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...

  • Can Saris Bones Bike Rack Carry Womens Bike Easily
  • The Saris Bones 2 bike rack part # SA805BL that you referenced can easily carry a womens bike but you will need to use an adapter bar like part # UB01 which will provide the horizontal attachment for the bike rack. It attaches to the steering stem and seat post to provide this. Check out the review video link I attached for more info on this.

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2005 Volvo S60
  • The Thule OutWay platform rack, # TH65JV, is listed as a fit for a 2005 Volvo S60. This rack is heavy, about 28 pounds, and when loaded to its 66 pound capacity, that would be about 100 pounds on the bumper of a vehicle. While it will technically fit, it is more suited for a vehicle that has a metal mounting surface for the bottom legs because this much weight can dent thinner composite materials. For a 2 bike rack I recommend going with the OutWay hanging style rack, # TH45JV. This rack...

  • Recommended Ballmount for Draw-Tite 75916 Class III Hitch Installed on 2012 Volvo s60
  • We haven't had the opportunity to install the Draw-Tite 75916 Class III hitch on a Volvo S60, but when we installed it on a V60 which has about the same ride height at the rear, we found the receiver height to be right at 11-1/2 inches, which means you'd want a ball mount with around a 5-1/2 inch rise. The Draw-Tite # 40346 has a 4-3/4 inch rise which would put you close enough to the height you need to be, it's not necessary to have it perfectly exact. For a 1-7/8 inch ball, use # 19260...
