  • Which Trailer Hitch Receiver Fits 2023 Volvo XC90
  • The # C53HR fits the 2016-2020 Volvo XC90. For a hitch that fits the 2023 I recommend the # e53KR. This features a bolt-on installation, matte black finish, and a limited lifetime warranty. However, it does have a visible cross tube. If you would rather not have that cross tube hanging down under your vehicle, I recommend the Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite # DT82GR. Not only is the cross tube hidden, with the removable receiver it has a completely hidden design when not in use. I have attached...

  • Is The Thule Hitching Post Pro Bike Rack A Good Choice For A 2022 Volvo XC90
  • The Thule Hitching Post Pro - Folding Tilting 4 Bike Rack w Anti-Sway # TH934XTR would be great option for occasional use on your 2022 Volvo XC90. This light weight and affordable option from Thule is compatible with both 1-1/4" and 2" receiver hitches. You will only be able to carry 2 bikes when using a Class I trailer hitch (1-1/4" receiver) so you will want to check the class of your receiver hitch before loading up the rack. This rack features HoldFast cradles with advanced grooves...

  • Compatibility of RockyMounts SplitRail 4-Bike Rack and Stealth Hitches Rack Receiver on 2018 XC90
  • The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH27FR measures 3-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to rear end of the receiver and it has a standard hitch pin hole depth of 2-1/2 inches (center of the hitch pin hole to the front face of the receiver opening). That being said, the hitch pin hole depth on your RockyMounts SplitRail LS 4 Bike Platform Rack # RKY11404 is standard as well and so you won't have any problem installing the bike rack on the # SH27FR. It also looks like...

  • Transmission Cooler for 2019 Volvo XC90
  • So when it comes to aftermarket transmission coolers there aren't any that are designed specifically to fit certain vehicles like your 2019 Volvo XC90. And the rule with transmission coolers is that because you cannot overcool fluids, you want the largest cooler you can get to fit; I have added a cut out of the instructions from Derale transmission coolers which shows this. The type of cooler is also important, and I recommend a plate and fin cooler because it uses smaller plates that...

  • Does The Thule Motion XT Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box Fit OEM Volvo Crossbars On 2020 Volvo XC90?
  • I confirmed with my contact at Thule that the Thule Motion XT Alpine Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - Black Glossy # TH629506 will fit the OEM Volvo crossbars on your 2020 Volvo XC90. This is a really nice cargo box which has an integrated lock to secure your belongings. The weight capacity for this box is 165lbs, but you will want to make sure you do not exceed the weight capacity of your vehicle's roof which is typically found in the owner's manual. I attached a demonstration video for you.

  • Will the Thule Flat Top Ski Carrier 724 Work On Volvo Crossbars
  • The Thule Flat Top Ski Carrier 724 works with crossbars up to 1-1/8" tall x 3-3/4" wide. I don't have any specs on the factory Volvo crossbars but if they meet these guidelines then it will fit. If the factory Volvo crossbars are over 1-1/8" which is rather likely then you can purchase the Thule Xadapt7 Xsporter Load Bar Adapter for Ski Racks part # THXADAPT7. In summary, the Thule Flat Top Ski Carrier 724 should work with factory crossbars no problem if you get the Thule Xadapt7 Xsporter...

  • Fit of etrailer e53KR Class III Hitch on 2021 Volvo XC90 Inscription Recharge
  • The etrailer # e53KR Class III hitch fits all models of the 2021 Volvo XC90, including the Inscription Recharge. The install procedure shown in the linked video for the 2019 XC90 would be the same as the 2021. If you'll be using the hitch for towing purposes, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # 118683, a ball mount like # D-28, a # PC3 hitch pin and a trailer ball like # 19260 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch. I've also linked to an install video for the trailer wiring harness.

  • Difference Between Tekonsha Trailer Wiring and Curt Trailer Wiring For 2005 Volvo XC90
  • That's right, the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118411 and the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # C56045 are very similar for the 2005 Volvo XC90. They both install in the rear cargo area of the Volvo and give you a 4-Way flat to connect your trailer into to illuminate the trailer lights. The difference really just comes down to the brand of wiring. I recommend the Tekonsha brand part # 118411...

  • Carrying Bikes Level with the Thule Passage Trunk Mount Bike Rack on a 2011 Volvo XC90
  • Yes, you can use the Thule adapter bar # TH982XT. This particular adapter bar was designed for exactly this reason. It creates an artificial top tube by attaching to the handlebar gooseneck and the seat post so you can carry your bike more level and have better ground clearance. I have included a link to a video that shows how the adapter works.

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch Interfere with Liftgate Sensors on a 2016 Volvo XC90
  • No, the Curt trailer hitch # C13233 is not known to interfere with the sensors on your 2016 Volvo XC90. However, the position/angles of the sensors can vary from vehicle to vehicle so some people may have to trigger the sensors by kicking their foot off to the side instead of the normal place they are triggered. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise...

  • Does Trailer Connector Adapter 118710 Work With 7-Way Euro Connection on 2004 Volvo XC90
  • Since you have a 7-way round on your 2004 Volvo XC90, you can use the Trailer Connector Adapter for Land Rover - 7-Way, Round Pin, European Style to 4-Way Flat # 118710. This adapter isn't exclusive to Land Rovers only, it will work with the European style 7-pin trailer harness on other vehicles as well, and it does not have to be adjusted to fit. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well of the Trailer Connector Adapter for Land Rover - 7-Way, Round Pin,...

  • Will Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Trunk Mounted Rack Fit a 2005 Volvo XC90
  • The Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Trunk Mounted Rack, # Y02638, will work on your 2005 Volvo XC90. This bike rack will carry 3 bikes and has a total weight capacity of 90 lbs. Thule also has the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier - Trunk Mount, # TH56BV. This rack will install much quicker because of only four retractable cables. This bike rack will carry 3 bikes and has a total weight capacity of 99 lbs. If you are going to be carrying women's or children's bikes that do not have the horizontal bar...

  • Recommended Aluminum Ball Mount w/ 8,000 lbs Capacity
  • For an aluminum ball mount you will want the Brophy Ball Mount item # EA20. It has a comparable 1" rise, 2" drop, a longer 14" extension, and a 8,000 lbs capacity. This ball mount also fits a 2" hitch receiver. Depending on your coupler size you will either need a 2" Hitch Ball item # A-90 or a 2-5/16" hitch ball item # C40030. I also recommend using the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitch item # e98882 to secure your ball mount from theft. I have linked a review video...

  • 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...

  • 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,...

  • Will the Curt 18118 Roof Rails Fit on a 2018 Volvo XC90 and Work With Factory Cargo Box
  • The Curt Roof Rack for Raised Side Rails - Aluminum - Black - 53-3/8" Long # C18118 are a confirmed fit on the 2018 Volvo XC90 and will replace your factory roof rack system. When it comes to them fitting your Volvo cargo carrier, in most cases those carriers will fit most aftermarket crossbars in addition to the factory bars. The bars on the Curt roof rack are 2-1/8" wide x 7/8" tall, so you'll just want to confirm that the mounting hardware on the Volvo box will fit on that dimension...
