  • 2 Inch Trailer Hitch for 2020 Volvo XC40 and Platform Bike Rack
  • We've got just what you need with the Stealth Hidden Rack Receiver # SH77FR. The great thing about this 2 inch hitch is that it's specifically designed to be used with bike racks or cargo carriers and removed when not in use, and since the main crosstube installs behind your bumper, it provides a completely invisible look. If you do decide to do some light trailer towing in the future, you can easily upgrade with kit part # SH36FR. It sounds like you already have a platform bike rack compatible...

  • What Roof Rack Do You Recommend For My 2022 Volvo XC40 To Carry A Thule Hullavator And Kayak
  • My roof rack recommendation for you will consist of a Yakima roof rack and the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs - Side Loading, part # TH898. The Hullavator will not work unless there is between 4" and 8" of crossbar extension beyond the towers/feet. Yakima roof racks are easier to setup with that extension. Your Yakima roof rack will consist of the following items: Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 53" Long - Qty 2, part # TH711420 Evo Flush...

  • Does Stealth Hitch Hidden Receiver Require Trimming Fascia on 2019 Volvo XC40?
  • The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # SH77FR does not require any trimming or cutting of the fascia. The receiver does tighten when locked and there is little movement in the receiver when installed. There is always some movement in bike racks, but there will be slightly more noticeable movement than when being used with a standard welded hitch receiver. The designed shape of the Stealth Receiver will mitigate any significant movement so safety is not an issue...

  • Trailer Hitch And Reducer For 2020 Volvo XC 40
  • The Stealth Hitches Rack Receiver # SH77FR is the currently (January 2020) the only fit guided hitch for the 2020 Volvo XC 40 and has a 2" receiver only. You do have the option to use a hitch reducer like the Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HT02 however to get to the 1-1/4" receiver size you are looking for. The Brophy reducer is unlike similar adapters in that the sleeve design does not reduce the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch which is key depending...

  • 2023 Volvo XC40 Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Bike Rack
  • I recommend going with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76245 to carry a bike rack on your 2023 Volvo XC40. This hitch features a hidden crosstube but the receiver is easily accessible so you can quickly install your rack when it's needed. If you don't already have a bike rack then I highly recommend the Kuat NV 2.0 # NV22G because of how sleek it looks and how easy it is to use. This is one of the most well-rounded racks we have to offer and because of that it's my go-to...

  • Can The Master Lock 2866DAT Work With A Hollywood Racks Sport Rider HR1000Z Bike Rack?
  • As the hitch pin on your Hollywood Racks Sport Rider # HR1000Z bike rack is threaded, the Master Lock # 2866DAT locks will not fit without having to drill the threads out of the shank. The threads are there so that when you tighten the pin into the shank, it will secure the rack more tightly and keep it from wobbling in the hitch. Drilling them out will cause you to lose this feature. I can also say that Master Lock parts will only work with Master Lock parts, so there is a very very high...

  • Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness For A 2023 Volvo XC40 Ultimate B4 AWD
  • The Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118792 will indeed be a good fit for your 2023 Volvo XC40 Ultimate B4 AWD. That being said, we are only able to ship to the United States and Canada So I am afraid we cannot ship to you in Japan. You may be able to use a mail forwarding service, but this is not something we offer here at etrailer. You would need to provide both a shipping and billing address inside the USA or Canada.

  • Is Trimming Involved When Installing the SH77R on a 2021 Volvo XC40?
  • Installing the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH77FR on a 2021 Volvo XC40 does indeed require trimming for the install, which is listed after entering your vehicle information. The hands-free trunk release cable holder is not removed, but is relocated. I included a few pictures from the instructions showing what would need to be done. With all this being said, none of this should void the warranty. Adding a hitch to a vehicle is extremely common and trimming or relocating things...

  • Can the etrailer Cargo Carrier be Used to Transport Cargo When Folded Up?
  • I guess in theory you can use the 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # e98874 folded up to carry cargo if you were to use some ratchet straps, but you'd be much better off using it folded down which is the way it was designed to be used.

  • How to Carry Ebikes With 2021 Volvo XC40
  • You can carry ebikes with your 2021 Volvo XC40, but not with the Yakima FullBack trunk bike rack you asked about (or any trunk bike rack). Reason for that is the FullBack and other trunk bike racks have a 35 lb per-bike weight capacity, which isn't enough for ebikes. What you will need instead is a hitch and a bike rack rated for ebikes. The hitch that fits your '21 XC40 is the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH77FR. Then for a bike rack, the best option due to its 80 lb per-bike...
