  • Trunk-Mount Bike Carrier Fits for 2006 Volvo XC70
  • Saris does not recommend any of their trunk-mount bike carriers for your 2006 Volvo XC70 but we do have 2- and 3-bike racks that are confirmed to fit well on this vehicle. You can see them on the linked page. If you are looking for the easiest and most-secure installation I suggest the Thule OutWay racks, either the 2-bike # TH45JV or the 3-bike version # TH56BV. Both are unique in that they use only 2 strong coated steel cables (not 6 wear-prone nylon straps) to mount on the XC70. These...

  • Best Trailer Brake Controller for a 2011 Volvo XC70
  • The best brake controller that we have for your 2011 Volvo XC70 is the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # TK94FR. This controller operates off of radio frequencies and will not require any wire splicing. You may also need to use part # 20142 depending on the voltage output of your Volvo. Then for a 4 to 7-way adapter I recommend using part # 37185. This will plug into your existing 4-way trailer connector and provide you with both 4 and 7-way trailer connection...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver That Fits 2004 Volvo XC70
  • I double checked just to make sure and there is not a hitch with a 2 inch receiver available for your 2004 Volvo XC70. Both hitches available for your vehicle, the Curt # C12318 and Draw-Tite # 36297 have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and are Class II rated. I do recommend the Curt due to its slightly higher 350 lb tongue weight capacity but please keep in mind this hitch is going to require the use of stabilizing straps # 18050 with all non-trailer accessories such as bike racks and cargo carriers...

  • Will the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier Fit on a 2008 Volvo XC Wagon
  • Yes, the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier, # TH56BV, will work on all of the 2008 Volvo XC models. I recently had the chance to install this rack on a vehicle and it is the easiest to install and remove trunk mount rack that I have used. For this reason, this is the rack I personally would choose for a trunk mount rack. You may also want to consider a bike adapter bar, # TH982XT, for use with bikes that do not have a horizontal cross bar for carrying the bikes level, see video.

  • Availability of 2 Inch Receiver for 2004 Volvo XC70
  • None of our suppliers offer a 2 inch receiver hitch for the 2004 Volvo XC70. I also searched online for other manufacturers that might have something to offer, but found nothing. However, my research indicates that the maximum towing capacity of the vehicle is 3,300 lbs. The Curt Class II hitch we offer, part # C12318 actually has a higher capacity, but any capacity that the hitch would offer over and above that of the vehicle is unusable. So, even if the OEM 2 inch receiver (or any other...

  • Will the Thule T2 Fit a 2015.5 Volvo XC70 with a Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitch
  • Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" Item # 75916 is a great choice for your 2015 Volvo XC70. Once installed only the receiver will be visible. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you. Receiver depth is almost never a problem on a Class III hitch. This particular hitch is open at the back and, even if it wasn't, there is more than 2.63 inches of receiver depth. The Thule T2 Pro XTR # TH69TX will fit when folded down and ready for...

  • Will The Thule Passage 3 Bike Trunk Rack # TH911XT Fit My 2007 Volvo XC70
  • I checked with Thule and the item you selected, Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier, part # TH911XT, is a confirmed fit for your 2007 Volvo XC70. You will use Fit Dial Setting number 9 when installing the Thule Passage on your Volvo. Also note that you will not be able to use the rear wiper when the rack is attached to the vehicle. When carrying womens, childrens or odd-shape framed bicycles, I would recommend using the Thule Adapter Bar, part # TH982XT. This adapter bar allows those types of...

  • Will Saris Bones 2 Bike Carrier # SA805BL Fit 2009 Volvo XC70
  • Yes, the Saris Bones 2 Bike Carrier, # SA805BL, has been confirmed to fit a 2009 Volvo XC70. If you plan on carrying women's, children's or alternative framed bikes, you may find it easier to secure the bikes by using an adapter bar like the Swagman Easy-Out, # 64005. This bar attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem on your bike to give you a horizontal surface to secure to. I have included a couple short videos for you.

  • Platform-Type Bike Racks for 2012 Volvo XC70 with 2 Inch Receiver
  • If you like the platform type rack, the Thule T2 part # TH83JV and the Yakima HoldUp, part # Y02443 are both capable of tilting rearward while the bikes are loaded, and in most cases will allow the liftgate of a vehicle to be opened. Thule or Yakima cannot tell me for certain if the liftgate on your vehicle would clear the bikes when the rack is tilted rearward, and we do not have an XC 70 available for testing purposes. There are just too many variables at work to be able to hazard a guess. The...

  • Which Thule Motion Rooftop Cargo Box Will Fit My 2013 Volvo XC70, The 18 Cu Ft Or 22 Cu FT
  • In order to carry a rooftop cargo box, you will need a roof rack. I am a big fan of the Yakima roof racks because it is easier to choose varying crossbar lengths. If you want to use your crossbars on a future car, my recommendation is to go one size up in crossbar length. The most common crossbar length is a 60' crossbar, which is considered a medium. The Yakima roof rack that I recommend for your 2013 Volva XC70 will consist of the following items: Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum...

  • Can the Length of the Pipe be Adjusted on 55 Inch Lock Side-Door Bar Lock Assembly
  • The pre-assembled cam door lock # 3057-55 is already all put together and can't easily be modified and you may end up having to weld anyway. So I would just go with the universal one, # 383200, and having someone weld it all up for you for a nominal fee. There is likely a machine shop or muffler shop that can do that for you. The other option is to go shorter, # 305736, which is a 36 inch bar.

  • Will the Thule OutWay 3 Trunk Bike Rack Fit on 2004 Volvo XC70 Wagon
  • I checked with Thule and they confirmed that the Thule OutWay 3 Trunk Mounted Bike Rack # TH56BV will fit on your 2004 Volvo XC70. The distance between the arms of the rack adjust from 6-1/2 to 10-1/2 inches inches, depending on the dimensions of your youth bike it could accommodate it as-is. If you find that distance to be too wide for your youth bike to fit on the rack you may also be interested in purchasing a Thule Bike Adapter Bar part # TH982XT. This product attaches from the seat...

  • What Powers and Activates The Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller?
  • Yes, the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # TK94FR only needs power from the battery charge line, ground and stop/turn signals to function. The power is what gives the controller its power and it watches for power going to both the brake lights to activate. This is the reason you cannot use the emergency flashers with this controller. It sees both side lights activating at the same time and cannot determine they are flashers versus the brake lights.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit for 2004 Volvo XC70
  • We do have a fit for a trailer hitch receiver for your 2004 Volvo XC70, but the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Multi Fit # C13900 will not fit your vehicle. It seems likely you wanted that hitch because it is a 2' receiver, but unfortunately there aren't any hitches with a 2" receiver that fit your 2004 XC70, so you'll need one with a 1-1/4" receiver, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12318. If you are going to be towing with this vehicle you'll need a couple more things, the Vehicle...

  • Will the Thule OutWay 3 Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2005 Volvo XC70
  • According to Thule, the OutWay 3, # TH56BV, will fit your 2005 Volvo XC70. In order to determine if the children's bikes will fit, the tire size is not the deciding factor. The frame size is what is important for a hanging rack. While the rack has narrowly spaced arms (6-1/2 to 10-1/2 inches measured outside to outside) that will hold a wide variety of bikes, you may find that you need an adapter bar, # TH982XT for any bikes that will not fit or have an alternative style frame.

  • Hitch and Trailer Wiring Harness Fits for 2015.5 XC 70 AWD
  • 2016 was the first model year of the 3rd generation of the Volvo XC70, but the 2015 and 2016 models used the same hitch fits. The Draw-Tite # 75916 will fit your XC70. The Curt # C56386 also carries over from the 2015 to the 2016 model, so it will fit your vehicle regardless of whether or not it's considered a 2015 or a 2016 model. I've confirmed this with Curt.

  • How to Determine Correct Trailer Hitch Lock
  • We definitely have a trailer hitch lock that will work for you, though the correct one is going to depend on the hitch you have on your 2015 Volvo XC70. If you have an aftermarket Class III trailer hitch with a 2" receiver like the Draw-Tite # 75916 than the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98880 will absolutely work for you. If you happen to have a factory 2" hitch then you would need to make sure its width is less than 2-5/8" in order for Lock # 7683 to work; if it is longer you would...

  • For smaller hitches like the Curt Class II Euro Style Drawbar with 1-7/8" Ball # C45571, the Curt Class I and II 1/2" hitch pin # C21403 would be needed to fit those euro hitches. Included are video resources with additional information to get you started.
