  • Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2005 Jaguar X-type Sportwagon
  • For a trailer wiring harness, the 4 pole trailer connector, part # C59496 will work on your vehicle. You'll want to install the wiring harness according to the instructions, which involves running the power feed directly to the positive battery terminal, not the 12-v outlet in the cargo area. Drawing the power directly from the battery keeps your vehicle's electrical system fully isolated from any short circuits that could occur in the trailer wiring.

  • 12 Inch Keel Roller And Bracket
  • The U-shaped bracket is not something we carry, but we do have a much stronger assembly for the keel roller. I recommend using the CE Smith Deep V Keel Roller Assembly for Boat Trailers - Galvanized Steel/Black Rubber - 12" # CE10405G for a complete mount and roller. We also have the CE Smith Universal-Fit Split Panel Brackets for Boat Trailers - Galvanized Steel - 1 Pair # CE10500G which can be used with the Roller Shaft with Pal Nuts for Boat Trailer Rollers - Zinc-Plated Steel -...

  • Will the Yakima Holdup Bike Rack fit a 2004 Volvo XC70
  • The hitch you would have on your 2004 Volvo XC70 would be a Class II 1-1/4 inch hitch like the # 36297 so you would need the 1-1/4 inch version of the Yakima Holdup, part # Y02445. This rack would work great for you. Thule racks have been very popular for us so that is why they show up quite a bit in our popular bike rack lists. I attached a review video for the Holdup for you to check out as well.

  • Trailer Hitch for 1993 Volvo 240 Sedan
  • The hitch you're needing is the Curt Class II, part # C12207, which we do offer. If you were wanting to use the hitch for towing purposes (as opposed to using it as an attachment point for a bike rack or cargo tray) you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like part # 119178KIT, a ball mount like part # C45017 and a trailer ball like # 19256 for a 1-7/8 ball or # 19258 for a 2 inch ball.

  • Trailer Wiring and Ball Mount for Multiple Trailers Recommendation for 2006 Volvo XC90

For a ball mount for a variety of applications the best option is the part # BWTS10048B which has every ball size on it and can be set at a variety of rises and drops so it can work well on your trailers.

  • Trailer Hitch Mounted Enclosed Cargo Carrier Recommendation
  • The Stowaway Max is an enclosed cargo carrier, but we do not carry it. We do have the Yakima EXO enclosed cargo carrier, # Y62VR, for a swing away version. I have included a link to a review video for you. We also have the 24x48-3/4 Carpod Walled, Folding Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitches - w/ Lid, Bag, Rise Shank - 450 lbs # M2205-01-02. This is a different type of enclosed carrier that will fit Class III or IV hitches. It is basically a cage with a cargo bag in it. I have linked a video review...

  • Availability of a Vertical Receiver Hitch for a 2014 Volvo XC 90
  • The Curt vertical receiver adapter, part # C45013 is designed to work only with the Curt Stealth Hitch, but it might possibly work with other vertical receivers. We currently don't offer a vertical hitch receiver, only an adapter. The crucial dimension will be distance from the center of the hitch pin hole on the vertical tube to the end of the receiver. If this distance is more than 7/8 of an inch, the Curt adapter # C45013 will not work for you. See the diagram to the right. If you...

  • 4-Pole Wiring Harness for 1998 Volvo V70 for Motorcycle Trailer Lights
  • We do offer 4-pole wiring harness kits for your 1998 Volvo V70 and these are all hard-wired types displayed on the linked page. These kits wire in to the leads at the Volvo's taillights. None of these is a plug-and-play option which might be available from a Volvo dealership, albeit at a premium price, IF it is available. Of the available options I suggest the reliable Tekonsha # C59496 for its combination of reasonable price and high 7.5-amp taillight circuit current capacity which will...

  • Is There a 1-1/4 Trailer Hitch Receiver Available For a 2024 Volvo S60 Recharge?
  • It appears that none of the aftermarket manufacturers have a hitch option for your 2024 Volvo S60. I recommend visiting a local fabrication shop in your area to determine if they can help you with a Weld-On Receiver # E-912. If they determine there is no way to install a hitch below your chassis you will want to consider using another means for transporting what you need. If you need to haul bikes the Yakima FullBack 2 # Y02634 or 3 # Y02633 bike rack which will mount to your trunk. These...

  • The Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class 3 - 2" # SH77FR is a confirmed fit for your 2021 Volvo XC40. For light towing, you will need to add the Towing Kit w/ Ball Mount and Trailer Wiring for Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - 2" Ball # SH36FR which includes the ball mount w/ ball and the wiring that you will need. I have attached an installation video of the hitch for your reference.

  • Availability of Class 2 Hitch with 2 Inch Receiver for 2007 Volvo XC70
  • The available trailer hitches for a 2007 Volvo XC70 are all class II hitches with 1-1/4 inch hitch receivers. These trailer hitches have a gross trailer weight capacity of 3,500 pounds and a tongue weight capacity of either 300 or 350 pounds. You could go with an adapter like the Brophy # HTAD which converts a 1-1/4 inch receiver to a 2 inch receiver. However, I do not recommend it because it will reduce your tongue weight capacity by half. If you decide to go with a Class II hitch,...

  • Load Stop Recommendation for Thule Aeroblade Crossbar
  • We actually have loadstops that are designed specifically for the Thule Aeroblade crossbars. For that you'd want the part # 753-3761. This would be the better route to go. Most likely the Rola would fit as we've found most of the channel dimensions are the same, but Thule will recommend you use their load stops.

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for 2022 Volvo XC60 with Flush Rails
  • For your 2022 Volvo XC60 that has flush rails you'll need a roof rack with longer crossbars to fit your two kayaks side by side which for that we have the Thule Wingbar Evo Rack part # TH711420, # TH710601, and # TH186028 which will give you a really quiet and high quality rack with 53 inch long crossbars. Then for rear loading carriers you could use the Thule Dockglide part # TH896. The rear saddles are felt lined which allows the kayak to easily slide forward up to the front saddles.

  • Class III Trailer Hitch Availability for 2016 Volvo XC90
  • The 2016 Volvo XC90 is part of the car's second generation, along with the 2014 and 2015 model years. For this vehicle we offer Curt Class III hitch # C13233. If used for non-trailer loads like a bike rack the hitch must be supported with a strap # 18050 per Curt warranty requirements. For a ball mount you can use # C45030 and either 2-inch hitch ball # 63845 or 2-5/16-inch ball # 63847. For a hitch lock use part # e98880. For a wiring harness you can use # C56285 from Curt.

  • Weight Distribution System Recommendation for Tongue Weight of 290 lbs
  • As long as your vehicle is rated for use with a weight distribution system, we have just what you would need. The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup...

  • Available Hitch for 2019 Volvo V90 R-Design
  • The only hitch available that will fit on the 2019 Volvo V90 R is the Stealth Hitches # SH67FR, which can be used to carry bike racks, but there is not currently available wiring to allow for towing. This is a custom fit hitch for the V90 that will install behind the bumper and because the receiver is removable it won't affect your ground clearance nearly as much as a standard hitch. I've linked an installation video of this hitch for you to check out, as well.

This hitch has a max tongue weight of 600 lbs and will allow you to carry hitch mounted accessories with your 2023 Volvo V90. If you plan on towing you want the # SH67FRT instead. This includes the towing kit which has the ball mount and wiring harness. You can also add the towing kit later using the # SH36FR.

  • Is There a Hitch For a 2023 Volvo S60 Hybrid to Carry Bikes or What Options Are There
  • I have a couple other options for you, but there is not currently a hitch that fits your 2023 Volvo S60 hybrid. Instead you would need to look at a roof rack or trunk mount style. The easiest and most cost effective way is the trunk mount style like the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack # TH45JV. This involves a lot less parts, you just need to install the rack and you can carry 2 bikes weighing up to 33 lbs. per bike. For a roof rack option, there are a couple routes. There are vacuum sealed...

The link at right will let you see all options, which include both 1-1/4-inch Class II and 2-inch Class III hitches. The most cost-effective hitch offered, Curt Class III hitch # 13266, installs without drilling using included hardware and requires some trimming of the rear fascia. The written install instructions are linked at right along with two...

  • Is There a Custom Fit Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2019 Volvo S60 T5 Inscription?
  • It appears you will need to have a custom receiver fabricated for your 2019 Volvo S60 T5 Inscription. We have the 1-1/4" # E-911 or 2" # E-9 receiver tube that you can use to have a receiver fabricated. Currently none of our aftermarket manufacturers are producing a receiver for your Volvo. I was able to verify with Curt that their T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56224 will fit your Volvo and give you a 4-way flat connector. This will connect to the tail lights on most small trailers...
