Expert Answers about Volvo XC70


  • Trailer Wiring Harness and Other Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 2007 Volvo XC70
  • The 119176KIT was discontinued some time ago and has been replaced with the # C59496. This kit will also work with your 2007 Volvo XC70. Unfortunately, we don't have a video of us installing it on your exact vehicle but it's the same basic process for any since it's a universal harness. It also installs similarly to the 119176KIT you saw the YouTube video on. If you don't already have a trailer hitch receiver on the Volvo I recommend the Draw-Tite # 36297.

  • Before installing the hitch or attempting to tow the pop-up, you will need to determine the fully loaded weight and tongue weight of the trailer to ensure that it does not exceed the stated capacity of the vehicle or the hitch.

Thule also used a different bolt in some of their roof-top cargo baskets. This fastener looks more like a allen bolt with a pin in the center. This wrench is part # 853-5270-02. The bolt that it...

  • Recommended Wiring To Use A Prodigy P3 Brake Controller On A 2012 Volvo XC70
  • When installing The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles - Proportional # 90195 on your 2012 Volvo XC70 the only other part you would need would be The Wiring Kit for 2, 4, 6, and 8 Brake Electric Trailer Brake Controllers # 5506.

  • How to Add a Brake Controller to a 2004 Volvo XC70 and How to Add Brakes to a Pop-up Trailer
  • For your 2004 Volvo XC70, I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # TK94FR. This brake controller installs on the trailer and will not require any modifications to the tow vehicle assuming you have a 7-way trailer connector with a functioning 12 volt circuit. If you do not then you will need to add one and for that you can use a combination of part # C59236 and part # 37185. It sounds like you also need electric drum brakes for your pop-up camper as well....
