  • Snow Chains for 275/45R20 Tires on a 2017 Volvo XC90
  • For low clearance situations we have the Konig K-Summit tire chains. These have a very unique style as they secure via lug nut and then the chain rests on the tread of the tire only. Since the chain doesn't wrap around the back of the tire and "hug" it this means that this chain can be used in most applications where a snow chain would damage components on a vehicle. The correct K-Summit for the 275/45R20 tires on your 2017 Volvo XC90 you need the XXL - Size K67 # TH2004565767. Please...

  • The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, item # 118411, is installed inside the vehicle access panel area at the rear of the vehicle. You will need to remove the cargo access door on the floor, the floor trim panels and the access panels on each side of the vehicle. The T-connectors will then be installed inline with the vehicle taillight wiring. You will need to install the ground wire to a suitable ground location and install the power wire to the vehicle power cable stud which is located on...

  • Bike Rack Options To Carry 4 Bicycles On My 2005 Volvo XC90
  • The most amount of bikes you can carry with a trunk mounted bike rack on your 2005 Volvo XC90 is 3, as this is as much as your vehicle can handle safely. You would have to carry the other bike on the roof of your vehicle if you choose to use a trunk mounted bike rack. The item you selected, Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier, part # TH911XT, is compatible with your vehicle and would be a good option as it features anti-sway cradles. Another 3 bike trunk mounted bike rack I would recommend is...

  • Can Karrier 20575R-15 Tires be Mounted on Dextar 15 by 6 Inch Rim
  • The ST205/75R15 Karrier tire you referenced, # AM10244 can be successfully mounted to 15 inch diameter rims ranging from 5 to 6-1/2 inches wide, with 5-1/2 inches being the ideal. Since the width of the # AM20504 wheel is only 1/2 inch more than the ideal for that tire, the wheel and tire should work just fine together. If the width difference was than 1 inch or more narrower, the tire beads being squeezed together could conceivably narrow the tire surface that contacts the pavement,...

  • Recommendation For Hitch and 5-Bike Hitch Bike Rack to Fit 2008 Volvo XC90
  • The hitch I would recommend for your 2008 Volvo XC90 is the Curt Class III 2-Inch Hitch, part # 13559. This hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 500 lbs when equiped with a weight distribution system and 350 lbs without the system. For a 5-bike hitch bike rack on your XC90 I would recommend the Thule Apex 5-Bike Rack, part # TH9026XT. These are our two most popular 5-bike racks. The weight capacity on the Thule is 150 lbs. With that many bikes, I would recommend mounting them in alternating...

  • Will The 2020 Volvo XC90 Allow For a Weight Distribution Hitch When Trailer Towing?
  • It would appear the factory receiver or any of the aftermarket receivers available for your 2020 Volvo XC90 are not rated for use with a weight distribution hitch. This is likely due to the construction of the frame and it components on your Volvo. By using a weight distribution on this vehicle you will risk damage to the frame and components of the receiver. We do offer the Tuson Asymmetric Sway Control # 335TSC-1000 which will control any trailer sway with the electric trailer brakes....

  • Compatibility of Dexter Brake Assembly With a Lippert 6K Axle on 2010 Forest River 5th Wheel
  • Dexter electric brake assemblies, including the # 23-458-459 set you've looked at are indeed compatible with Lippert axles. Lippert and Dexter brake assemblies share the same bolt pattern and overall dimensions, so they will be interchangeable on your Forest River 5th wheel. For mounting hardware, use the # BRKH12 kit. One kit will install two brake assemblies so for a tandem axle, you'd need two of them. If you click the provided link, you can see a video of the brake assemblies being...

  • Is Installing Trailer Hitch in 2004 Volvo XC90 Difficult
  • Installing a trailer hitch on your 2004 Volvo XC90 is not a huge project by any means. To install a hitch like the Draw Tite hitch that fits your vehicle part # 75152 is relatively very easy. I attached an install video that shows this hitch installed on a 2004 XC90 just like yours for you to check out as well. This will walk you through the whole process. You might watch it now to help give you an idea what the project would look like. Basically it's just removing a tow hook and then raising...

  • 2 inch Hitch Recommendation for 2013 Volvo XC90
  • The Curt hitch part # 13559 is what we have found to be the best hitch that fits your 2013 Volvo XC90 and would be what I would recommend even if the Draw Tite you mentioned was still available. The Draw Tite happens to be unavailable at this time so we took it off our site. In general we have found that the Curt hitches have the best quality control and a tougher finish.

  • Finding Stoplight Circuit for Trailer Brake Controller Wiring on a 2017 Transit Connect
  • Using a wire from the PCM of the vehicle is not the normal way to get the brake signal circuit for a brake controller install. What we recommend is using a circuit tester liker part # PTW2993 to test all of the wires of the brake pedal switch and then see which one only has voltage when the brakes are applied. You'd want to use that circuit. Or we have the universal stoplight switch part # RM-751000 which gives you a way to add this circuit to any vehicle pretty easily.

  • Trailer Running Lights Not Working Only When Starting Volvo XC90 Engine
  • I honestly haven't heard of this type of issue before. Just to be clear, when you just have the light on in your Volvo the trailer lights work perfectly but when you actually start the vehicle the running lights stop working? If this is the case then the best thing I can recommend trying is testing the wires that are going to the black converter box on the Tekonsha T-One # 118411 with the vehicle running with a circuit tester like # PTW2992. Check to see if you are getting power on the...

  • Will the Thule Gateway Pro 3 Bike Rack Fit on a 2013 Volvo XC90
  • Yes, the Thule Gateway Pro 3 Bike Rack, # TH78VR, will fit on your 2013 Volvo XC90. This bike rack uses six straps that will hook to the top, side and bottom edges of your rear hatch to secure the bike rack. Keep in mind, the rear wiper cannot be used when this bike rack is mounted. If you plan on carrying any womens, childrens or alternative frame bikes, I recommend picking up the Thule Bike Adapter Bar, # TH982XT. Bikes with small or angled frames can be difficult to mount on a bike...

  • Cargo Carrier For 2 Inch Trailer Hitch With 4 Inch Depth
  • We can help you out here, though you definitely won't want to drill any holes in the shanks of a cargo carrier as that can compromise the integrity of the carrier. I was able to find one hitch cargo carrier that will work for your Volvo, from Swagman: - Swagman Expanse Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # S68FR According to Swagman's dimensions, this cargo carrier measures exactly 2-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the end of its shank, so it will just be able to fit in your...

  • Thule Wingbar Evo Roof Rack that Fits 2021 Volvo XC90
  • Thule does have a Wingbar Evo roof rack that fits your 2021 Volvo XC90 but the feet and fit kits have been totally changed since you bought the rack that you currently have and the older style has not been tested on the 21' XC90 because of that so only safe recommendation I can make is the current Thule roof rack that fits your vehicle: Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711400 Evo Flush Rail Feet for Thule Crossbar # TH710601 Fit Kit for Thule Evo Flush Roof Rack Feet # TH186028 If your...

  • Will Installing Curt Trailer Hitch Affect Ground Clearance on 2019 Volvo XC90
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch # C53HR will cut just a bit into the ground clearance on your 2019 Volvo XC90, however it's really only going to sit a small amount below the lowest factory point on the vehicle, which looks to be the muffler. When we installed this hitch on the 2018 Volvo XC90 we measured a distance of 13-3/4" from the ground to the top of the 2" receiver. You can take this measurement up from the ground with your Volvo parked on a level surface to get a good idea of where the receiver...

  • Can the Thule Interstate Roof Cargo Bag be Used on a Volvo with No Roof Rack
  • The Volvo XC series didn't start until the 2003 model year. The 2002 model year options from Volvo were the C70, Cross Country, S40, S60, S80, V40, V70, VHD, VN, and Xpeditor. In 2003 they dropped the Xpeditor and added the XC70 and XC90. Remember that build date is almost always 1 year before the model year of the vehicle. So with this in mind I would need to know which specific model you have to recommend the right roof rack if you decided to go that route. The other option is to skip...
