Expert Answers about Volvo XC90


  • Weight and Dimensions of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13559
  • Thank you for your service! When it comes to shipping the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13559 has a weight of 38 lbs (including the packaging) and comes in a box that is 58" x 8" x 26". I did go out to the warehouse and found the hitch itself measures 44-3/4" long x 12-1/4" deep x 9" high. This is a fit for US versions of 2003 - 2014 Volvo XC90 so I am unsure if it will fit your vehicle if you purchased it across seas.

  • Are There Bike Rack Limits for Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch that Fits 2020 Volvo XC90
  • When you have the hitch accessory opening installed on the Stealth Hitch part # SH27FRT for your 2020 Volvo XC90 you really can use any bike rack designed for a 2 inch hitch. The tongue weight capacity of this would easily handle the weight as it's rated for up to 600 lbs tongue weight. There really isn't a downside to this setup as you get a very high quality hitch setup with plenty of capacity that can be totally hidden when not in use.

  • Brake Controller Option for 2020 Volvo XC90 With Factory 7-way Trailer Connector
  • The owner's manual of your 2020 Volvo XC90 states that the towing capacity for an un-braked trailer is 1650 lbs. With trailer brakes, the capacity for FWD vehicles is 4000 lbs and 5000 lbs for AWD vehicles. For safety's sake, if your trailer or camper is equipped with trailer brakes you really should use them. I can't find any reference for a factory 7-way on a Volvo XC90, so I have a suspicion that your 7-way might actually be dealer installed rather than a factory added option which...

  • Can Stealth Hitch SH27FR Tow a Small Boat When Installed on 2018 Volvo XC90
  • The receiver included with the # SH27FR Stealth Hitch isn't intended for towing of any kind, it's meant to accommodate hitch mounted accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier. In order to tow with the hitch, you'll also need the # SH36FR upgrade kit which includes towing ball mount and the trailer wiring harness. I've linked you to the installation instructions for the hitch.

  • Installation Video for the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C13233
  • We haven't made one because we haven't had a 2023 Volvo XC90 in the shop. The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C13233 is the same hitch as the etrailer item # e53KR it just has a different finish. I have linked an installation video we did awhile back on it being installed on a earlier model XC90. I have also attached the installation instructions for both hitches below. If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C59236 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.

  • Will the Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack Block a Back Up Camera on a 2020 Volvo XC90?
  • Yes, you will. It will most likely block the camera. I checked online and it looks like the backup camera on your 2020 Volvo XC90 sits right above the license plate. This is a common spot for cameras on suvs and like all bike racks the Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack item # Y02637 is going to mount directly in front of it. I linked a video below of this bike rack installed on a similar shaped suv. We didn't have one done on a Volvo but this will give you an idea of what to expect. Best case...

  • How Much Does Adding Curt Trailer Hitch Reduce Ground Clearance on a 2016 Volvo XC90
  • Take a look of the picture I have included showing Curt trailer hitch # C13233 installed on a 2016 Volvo XC90. If you measure from the bottom of the piece pointed out in the picture down about 4-1/2 inches that is approximately where the bottom of the hitch will be after it is installed. That will give you a good idea of the approximate hitch location and thus the amount of ground clearance. I have driven extensively through New Orleans and there are some rough roads due to the flooding...

  • What is the Best HItch for a 2019 Volvo XC90?
  • Yes, we do! The best one is going to be the Curt Hitch item # C53HR. This hitch is custom fit for your 2019 Volvo XC90 and bolts to it with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver which means it will be compatible with most bike racks on the market. The reason the Curt item # C53HR is the best hitch for your Volvo is because the crosstube mounts behind your rear bumper leaving only the 2" receiver exposed. This not only looks better but helps with ground clearance...

  • Recommended Stealth Hitch for a 2023 Volvo XC90
  • Yes, you can but you would need the Towing Kit w/ Ball Mount item # SH36FR. The 2" receiver that is included with the Stealth Hitches item # SH27FR can only be used for accessories like a bike rack. A better option for your 2023 Volvo XC90 is to install the Stealth Hitches item # SH27FRT. This is the same hitch as item # SH27FR but includes the necessary wiring harness and ball mount kit to tow with. Most uhaul trailers have a 4-flat connector so you will also need the Pollak 7 Pole...

  • Recommended Crossbars for a 2023 Volvo XC90 w/ Raised Side Rails
  • Yes, there is an option to add just a set of crossbars to your 2023 Volvo XC90 that don't extend past your raised roof rails. I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex StealthBar Roof Rack item # JA7971. This aero bar roof rack system has a 176 lbs capacity. The included locks will help to prevent theft and the rubberized vortex strips in the top channels dramatically reduce drag and wind noise. I have attached a picture below along with the instructions so you can see what these crossbars look...

  • What Are the Dimensions of Thule Replacement U-Bolt, # TH02943
  • I went out to the warehouse and measured a Replacement U-Bolt, # TH02943. The center to center distance between each end of the u-bolt is 4 inches. It is 2 inches deep in the center. The cross bars on your Volvo XC90 would have to be smaller than those dimensions in order for these u-bolts to fit. The Car-Go cargo box is not made anymore so I cannot test this u-bolt with the knobs it used. But I can tell you that this u-bolt uses an M6 (6mm) knob like # 753-0783.

  • Recommended 7-Way Harness for a 2023 Volvo XC90
  • To install a 7-Way harness on your 2023 Volvo XC90, you will need two separate wiring harnesses because they don't make just one that'll do the job. The first harness you'll need is the Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C59236. This is a universal harness that has to be spliced into existing wiring. There is no custom fit option. It will provide you with a 4-flat connector. The second harness you will need is the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller item # ETBC7. The...

Just enter the hitch manufacturer, Curt, and part number, 13559, where indicated on the page and the correct kit will be added to your cart.

  • 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...
