When trying to figure out the maximum tongue weight, or maximum trailer weight for a vehicle such as your 2009 Volvo XC70 you are limited by which ever rating is lower between the vehicle and trailer hitch receiver.
In this case the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13266 has a maximum tongue weight rating of 350lbs, but the vehicle has a maximum tongue weight rating of 165lbs, so you are limited to a maximum tongue weight of 165lbs.

Yes, we do. To add a 2" hitch to your 2012 Volvo XC70, I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e77KR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Volvo with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 350 lbs maximum tongue weight so you will have plenty of capacity for a bike rack.
I really like this hitch because the crosstube mounts behind the rear bumper. This not only looks better but it also helps with ground clearance.

The Replacement Strap for Thule Tahoe Roof Mounted Cargo Bag # 8535494 measures 1.5" wide and 23.6" long.

The Thule Apex Swing TH9027 Bike Rack is 3" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of its anti-rattle box; we have not test fit a hitch like the Draw-Tite # 75916 on a 2012 Volvo XC70, but we have test fit hitches on both a 2013 and 2011 model and each were at least 5" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the rear edge of the bumper.
That said, it is unlikely the Apex would work with your 2012 XC70. The Yakima FullSwing # Y02465 is a better option and is a full 9"... view full answer...
I have a great solution for you. Unfortunately, while Thule could not verify the channel slide piece of the Replacement Load Stop for Thule Ladder Racks # 8537165, my contact at Thule confirmed that the load stop will not be able to fit into the channels of WingBar Evo crossbars on your 2006 Volvo XC70.
With this news, the best bet is to use the load stops with the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack for Factory Side Rails TH7502B-TH7503B. This AeroBlade Edge crossbar system will fit on your... view full answer...
I do have some measurements using Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 36297. On a vehicle we installed hitch # 36297 on, the hitch measured 11 inches from the ground to the top of the receiver. Keep in mind this is not the same model vehicle and there are bound to be differences in ride height so these measurements should serve as a general guide.
Then, when using the correct ball mount, # 36061, as indicated by the hitch manufacturer in the proper rise position, add another 3-1/8 inches to that... view full answer...
Unfortunately, you need to go by the lowest rated component which in most cases, including yours, is the vehicle. Hitch manufacturers often make their hitches rated higher than the vehicles they're designed to fit. Just like with the Draw-Tite # 75916 that fits yours 2015 Volvo XC70.
Adding a higher rated hitch (Or anything else) doesn't increase the capacity because the vehicle is still only able to handle the weight it's rated for. view full answer...
Fairings, such as the Yakima WindShield Fairing 40" # Y05017 that you were looking at, are designed to be used with crossbars running left to right across the vehicle's roof. If your 2013 Volvo XC70 has factory roof rack with crossbars then this 40" version may be cutting it close and could be too large for the crossbars. One way to check is by measuring the front crossbar to determine if it is at last 40" long; if so then it will work.
If the crossbar isn't quite 40" long, which I don't... view full answer...
From the top of the hitch opening of the Curt Hitch part # C12318 will measure 11-1/2 inches when installed on a similar VOlvo S60 like in the video I attached.
This hitch is going to basically tuck right under the rear fascia of your vehicle so if you are looking for ground clearance you would need to measure from the bottom of your rear bumper down to the ground and then subtract right at 2 inches. view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Hitch # 75916 is rated for 4,000 lbs towing/400 lbs tongue while your 2013 Volvo XC70 is rated for about 3,300 lbs towing/330 lbs tongue from what I could find online (you will want to verify this in your copy of the owner's manual).
The Draw-Tite Hitch # 76227 is rated for 4,000 lbs towing/600 lbs tongue while your 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon 3.6L is rated for 2,700 lbs towing/200 lbs tongue.
