Here is the review: "I had a auto repair shop install and they said it went well, no issues with fit.

  • Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2016 Volvo V60
  • The first thing you'd need to install a hitch bike rack on your 2016 Volvo V60 will be a hitch like the Draw Tite part # 75916 that fits your V60, has plenty of capacity, and is mostly hidden. Then for a bike rack I really like the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider part # HR200Z as it's very well made and stable, is easy to load, and costs less than similar bike racks that rival it's quality.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2015 Volvo V60 Cross Country
  • Yes, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame trailer hitch receiver # 75916 will fit your 2015 Volvo V60 Cross Country. In order to complete the installation, fascia trimming is required and underbody panel will need to be temporarily removed. Great thing is that no drilling is required. If you plan on towing, you will need trailer wiring # C56287 but if your model was built prior to the mid year update, you will need to contact your local Volvo dealership for wiring harness information. For a ball mount...

  • 7-Way Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation For A 2015 Volvo V60
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75916 is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Volvo V60 and will work great for you. For wiring there is not an aftermarket 7-way only to setup your V60 so the # 118265 will not work for example but there is another solution. You can start with installing a 4 way Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56287 and use the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller part # ETBC7 to provide your 7-way too. If the...

  • Hitch Recommendation for a 2015 Volvo V60
  • For your mid-year 2015 Volvo V60 you would want the Curt Hitch part # 75916. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 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 clip, and a storage bag. If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out...

  • Motorcycle Carrier Recommendation
  • Without knowing what year your Honda Pilot is I can't look up the tongue weight rating of the hitch that you would have on it, but I can say that our the weight of your carrier plus the weight of your bike must be less than your tongue weight. For a great carrier I would recommend the # e98873. This carrier has a 500 lb capacity that should work well for either your scooter or a dirt bike in the future.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2018 Volvo V60 R Design
  • Starting with the trailer hitch I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch # 75916, which is confirmed to fit the R Design edition of your 2018 Volvo V60, because it is the highest rated unit available for your vehicle. This will provide you with a 2 inch receiver opening, will use existing holes in the Volvo's frame for a no-drill installation, and features a clean hidden-crosstube design where only the receiver will be visible (see attached photo).

  • Does Impact Bar of 2015 Volvo V60 Need to be Removed to Install Draw Tite Hitch
  • In the installation instructions for the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 75916 the impact beam is removed in step 3. It is then re-installed in step 8, so you do not have to worry about the trailer hitch and the amount of damage that would occur with it removed. In the attached video for this hitch our installer does reinstall the bumper beam/impact bar. You do need to reinstall it. Check out the attached install video to see if any steps may have been skipped.

  • Trailer Hitch with Highest Towing Capacity for 2016 Volvo V60
  • The closest rated hitch we have for your 2016 Volvo V60 is the Draw Tite hitch part # 75916 which has a 4,000 lb trailer capacity and a 400 lb tongue weight capacity. Yours is right at 405 so technically it's too heavy but if you can find a way to lose 5 lbs off of it you'd be fine. I know that seems silly but we can't ever recommend exceeding towing capacities. If your vehicle has a tongue weight capacity lower than 400 lbs though you would have to abide by that too. You also need to...

  • Recommended Hitch For Carrying Electric Bikes on Rear of 2015 Volvo V60
  • Beginning with the hitch, I'd recommend the Draw-Tite Class III hitch, part # 75916. I'd recommend this hitch because it does not require a stabilizing strap, like the Curt hitch does. To determine definitively if a bike rack and a given vehicle will be compatible, we need to know how far under the vehicle the receiver tube of the hitch will be recessed, as this distance varies from vehicle to vehicle. We haven't completed an installation of this hitch on a Volvo V60, so I can't say for...

  • Comparing Factory and Aftermarket Roof Racks for a 2020 Volvo V60
  • The advantages of an aftermarket roof rack compared to a factory one are plentiful. For starters, the factory racks always have issues trying to mount certain accessories because the crossbars usually aren't the standard size aftermarket carriers are designed to work with so, in short, they will be much more compatible with roof mounted accessories. The aftermarket roof racks also have higher weight capacities, longer crossbars for more storage space, locking capability, and integrated...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Towing Setup for a 2015 Volvo V60 Towing an 18 Foot Boat
  • The hitch I recommend for your 2015 Volvo V60 is the Draw-Tite # 75916, because of its 400lb tongue weight and 4,000lbs towing weight. To be able to tow a trailer you will need to run lighting to the trailer from your vehicle, for that I recommend the 4-Way # C56287 wiring harness. This harness is compatible with mid to end of year models, if you happen to have a beginning to mid year model V60 you will want to contact your local dealer for the correct wiring harness. You will also need...

Since you said you are using it for a bike carrier you willl want to make sure the bike carrier clears the back bumper when installed.

  • Kuat Sherpa Bike Rack Partially Melted from Exhaust When Folded
  • You could use an adapter like the Roadmaster # RM-070 to achieve a 4 inch rise, which would work pretty well for you. Keep in mind that using an extender/adapter like this will lower the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50% due to the fact that the adapter would move the load further away from the vehicle and exert additional leverage on the hitch and its attachment points to the vehicle.
