There is not an extension available for the MaxxTow Roof Mounted Cargo Basket MT70115 that you referenced. We do have other cargo baskets like the Curt # C18115 that can be extended with the add-on piece # C18117, but unfortunately this isn't possible with your existing unit.
If you are needing a little more space for cargo another option is a hitch-mounted cargo carrier like the Curt # C18145 if you have a trailer hitch installed on your vehicle. If you don't yet have a trailer hitch... view full answer...
For your 1999 Volvo V70 the Draw Tite hitch part # 36262 is a confirmed fit and what I would recommend. It is confirmed as a fit for all models of your vehicle so it will work with yours being front wheel drive. I like this one over the Curt because it does not require a stabilizer strap with a non supported load like a bike rack like the Curt does. view full answer...
If your trailer has a 7-Way connector, then it either already has electric brakes or is set up for electric brakes. Either way, you would not want to use the pin and wiring for the electric brake to charge a battery because it is too small a gauge for this application. A 7-Way connector already has a pin for a 12 volt accessory. If you are looking at the face of the trailer side 7-Way, it is in the 11 oclock position. This wire is only large enough to maintain a battery but will not charge... view full answer...
All of the wiring kits available for your 2001 Volvo V70XC will require you to identify the correct wires on the tail lights and tie into the wires using quick splice wire connectors.
The Vehicle Wiring Harness Kit # C59496 is the 4-way harness that I recommend using. This kit also includes a test light to check your wiring and ensuring that you are connecting to the correct wiring on your Volvo. The powered converter nearly eliminates the excess draw on the vehicle harness and mounts... view full answer...
The K-Source Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors # KS3990 referenced in your question is a universal, clip-on set that should work great on your 2004 Volvo V70. This adjustable mirror will clip right onto the edge of the factory mirror on your Volvo and will fit perfectly as long as the factory mirror is 4-1/2 inches to 11-1/2 inches tall. Its snug fit will help to reduce any mirror vibration and the rubber pads on the straps will also protect your mirror's housing from scratches. 2 mirrors... view full answer...
Your best option for avoiding ground contact with a hitch mounted rack will be a platform style rack with a large or offset rise. This means the distance from the shank where the rack connects to the hitch and where the bikes actually sit is much higher than normal. There are a few great racks that have these kinds of offsets.
A premium option for this kind of rack is the Thule T1, part # TH9041. This two bike, wheel mount rack sits gives plenty of additional ground clearance for the bikes.... view full answer...
We do carry a similar bike rack that will fit the factory cross bars that run side to side on your 2009 Volvo V70. Take a look at the Thule UpRide Wheel-Mount Bike Carrier - Roof Mount, # TH599000. You do not have to remove the front wheel to use this rack. It will accommodate 20 to 29 inch bike tires that are up to 3 inches wide.
Yakima does not list the FrontLoader Wheel Mount Bike Carrier, # Y02103, as a fit for your Volvo. view full answer...
For your beach cruisers that have fenders I would recommend a platform bike rack that uses a frame mount since the fenders would interfere with wheel mounts.
The Swagman XTC2, part # S64670 is one of the most popular racks because it's so easy to use, and because the rack has an angled shank that would raise the bike rack up by three inches providing additional ground clearance. Because of that, this is the rack I'd recommend for you. The rack includes an anti-rattle hitch bolt, but a... view full answer...
I have a solution for you, but the TracRac Ladder Rack part # TH29200XT that you referenced is designed for camper shells.
Instead you would want the Rhino Rack roof rack that consists of part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK133.
For load stops to use on the roof rack to secure the ladder you would want the part # S602. Then for straps part # RTD3. view full answer...
I checked the install instructions for the Curt hitch part # C12318 which is a confirmed fit for your 2007 Volvo V70 and there is no drilling or notching/trimming at all needed to install the hitch.
Basically you just install the hitch between the exhaust hanger bracket and tow hook bracket on the frame of the vehicle without any drilling. view full answer...
I checked with Curt and their hitch part # C12211 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for all models of the 1998 Volvo V70 so it would fit and work well for your 1998 Volvo V70 that you referenced. view full answer...
Our most popular roof-mounted bike rack is the Swagman Upright Roof-Mounted Bike Rack # S64720. It carries 1 bike with a clamp that attaches to most bike frames, so you will not need to remove the wheel. This rack attaches to Thule, Yakima, and most factory roof rack load bars and holds bike tires up to 3 inches wide.
The U-bolt size for this rack is 3-1/8 inches wide by 1-7/8 inches tall. As long as your crossbars fall within those dimensions, this rack will be a solid fit for your vehicle.

For your 2001 Volvo V70 we only have Class II hitches like the Draw Tite part # 36297 which is a Class II hitch. There are no Class III, 2 inch hitches that fit your vehicle and the part number you mentioned is not one that we carry or have any info on.
The 2 inch hitches like you mentioned are typically only seen on larger vehicles like trucks and SUVs. view full answer...
We do not have an adapter that will work with the 7-way European connector you have on your V70 but I do have a solution for you.
You can retain the connector you currently have and install new wiring for your trailer. I first recommend the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 119250KIT. This system includes the circuit tester you can use to identify the wires you attach to by function. You do not have to cut the wires when installing so no issues with that. You will need... view full answer...
The rain cover you would want to use with the MaxxAir MaxxFan part # MA00A04401K that you referenced is the # MA00-955003 which has the correct hinge design you would need.

As long as you have a trailer hitch installed on your 2001 Volvo V70 like the Draw Tite part # 36297 you can use a cargo carrier like the part # 63155 which could carry a snow blower potentially. The hitch has a 300 lb tongue weight capacity, the carrier weighs 39 lbs which leaves you with 261 lbs of capacity left over for the weight of the snow blower.
The inside dimensions of the cargo tray are then 47-7/8" long x 20" wide x 5-1/2" tall. view full answer...

If you are new to installing trunk mount bike racks it certainly can seem very difficult. It is actually easier on some vehicles than on others. I have a hatch back and use the Thule OutWay # TH45JV . It is the easiest trunk mount rack to install on the planet.
The OutWay uses only 2 rubber coated straps instead of the 6 straps of other carriers. One person can easily install this rack. I have included a video to show you how it works.
