First, I recommend checking the weight capacity of your vehicle's roof as well as the weight capacity of the crossbars on your roof. Most vehicle roofs do not have a very high weight capacity. This information will likely be located in your owner's manual. The weight capacity of a roof rack will vary by manufacturer as well as make and model of vehicle.

Yes. The Curt # C12211 is designed to fit on the 1998 Volvo V70, including the XC models. This hitch has a 1-1/4" receiver and a concealed cross tube to minimize visibility and maximize ground clearance. If you're going to be towing a small trailer you'll likely need a wiring harness like the # C59496 which comes with the upgraded Modulite converter to protect your vehicle's electrical components from backfeed and potential damage.

For a ball mount (draw bar) with a 1-1/4" drop that fits into a 1-1/4" trailer hitch you need the Draw-Tite # 36051, which has a 300 lb tongue weight capacity, 3,500 lb towing capacity and is only compatible with Class II 1-1/4" hitches.
This ball mount includes a pin and clip but for a 2" hitch ball you need # 19258. view full answer...
A converter is going to be needed for the 4-way harness on your 1998 Volvo V70 in order to ensure your trailer's lights
function properly with the wiring of your Volv, and the most economical option for a harness that fits is from Hopkins:
- Hopkins Active Tail Light Converter with Install Kit # 46255
Since it sounds like you plan on doing some towing, if you also need a hitch and ball mount, here are the correct parts for your '98 V70:

Yes, the Thule Passage 2 Bike Rack, # TH910XT, will fit on your 1998 Volvo V70. This bike rack has 6 straps that will attach to the top, side and bottom edges of the rear hatch. Please note that the rear wiper cannot be used when this carrier is mounted.
I have attached the installation instructions and a video for you to check out. The vehicle in the video is different, but the installation process will be the same.

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12211 is confirmed to fit the 1998 Volvo V70 All Models. We even have reviews of this product in the comments section saying that they successfully installed this hitch to their XC 70 AWD. This product is perfect for light-duty towing, this custom, trailer hitch receiver features fully welded, gloss powder coated steel construction.

The Curt trailer hitch # C12318 and Swagman bike rack # S64650 are compatible with each other and your 2005 Volvo V70. But with the Curt hitch, Curt requires the use of a stabilization strap, # 18050, for any non-trailer load such as a bike rack. The platform style rack would be difficult to use with the strap.
For a hitch that does not require the strap use Draw-Tite hitch # 36297. I have linked a video showing installation on a similar vehicle.

For your 2001 Volvo V70 Wagon I suggest the Curt Class 2 Trailer Hitch Receiver Item # C12318. Although it is a 1-1/4" hitch, you will be able to use your 2" accessories and bike rack with the use of a hitch adapter. This hitch provides a tongue rating of 350 pounds. This rating is the amount of weight that will be loaded and forced downward onto the receiver.
Currently for your vehicle there are not any options for a 2" hitch. There could be a couple of factors for this. The sizing of... view full answer...
The best way to get started on tire chains is to review your owner's manual. Volvo will tell you in the car's manual if your particular car is suitable for use with tire chains. Certain vehicle features can affect the fit of tire chains. ABS braking systems are one of the features on a passenger car like your 2000 Volvo V70, along with your tire size, that could potentially affect use of tire chains.
Its best to let the auto maker guide us in terms of chain use. I reviewed an online version... view full answer...
I recommend going with a Class III trailer hitch with a 2" receiver. This will allow you to gain full use of your Thule Apex XT 4 Bike Rack # TH9025XT on your 2008 Volvo V70 and it will be compatible with more accessories than a 1-1/4" receiver is.
Between the Draw-Tite # 75916 and the Curt # 13266 I recommend going with the Draw-Tite option over the Curt as the Curt requires the use a stabilizer strap like part # 18050 for any non-trailer loads per the Curt warranty.

According to Thule, the Gateway, # TH78VR will fit your Volvo. This is a great rack but it doesn't come with the rack lock to the hatch even though it does have the cable lock for the bikes to secure to the rack.
I recommend the Thule OutWay 3, # TH56BV. What makes this bike rack a cut above the rest are the retractable cables it uses to mount to the vehicle instead of straps. The cables make installation and removal quick and easy. The bike rack can also be locked so the cables cannot... view full answer...
The wiring in your 2002 Volvo V70 XC All Wheel Drive is not heavy enough to handle the additional power demand from trailer lights so this is why the 4-pole harnesses we offer for it, such as Curt # C59236 and Tow Ready # 119179KIT, use a direct battery connection to get the actual power that will operate the trailer lights. With this type of powered harness the vehicle wiring only acts like a switch to tell the converter to draw power from the battery and send it through the 4-pole connector... view full answer...
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 Brake EVN # TK63VR. This is our best selling brake controller because... view full answer...
To determine how well or even if a given bike rack will work with a specific vehicle, you will need to take a measurement from the hitch pin hole in the receiver rearward to the furthest point of the rear bumper, as shown in the article I have linked you to.
You would then compare that measurement to the hitch pin hole to closest portion of the bike rack dimension shown on the product description page for each bike rack. The Swagman Semi 2.0 you referred to needs at least 12 inches of... view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36297 is a Class II, 1-1/4" receiver that fits your 2002 Volvo V70 XC. Currently there are no Class III 2" Receivers for your Volvo. This receiver has a maximum tongue weight rating of 300lbs and towing capacity of 3,500lbs. Be sure that you do not exceed the maximum rating given from Volvo for your V70 XC.

The Thule Adventurer cargo box will fit on the Thule WingBar crossbars. The mounting hardware that came with the Adventurer cargo box had 3 holes, you will want to use the outer holes with the WingBar crossbars (see photo). If you need replacement mounting hardware for your Adventurer cargo box, you can use the Quick Mount QM3 Mounting Hardware, # TH04997.
It does make sense that if you're going to put crossbars on your 2004 Volvo V70 that you go with a new kit that's going to last beyond... view full answer...
Yes, the Curt Upgraded Circuit Protected Powered Tail Light Converter # C59496 will work with your 2007 Volvo V70 station wagon. This is a universal wiring kit that you'll splice in to your OEM wiring - it comes with a circuit tester you'll use to ensure you connect to the correct functions.
I recommend securing this near your hitch receiver with the mounting brackets # 18144 and # 18140. view full answer...
