  • 2 Inch Trailer Hitch for 2020 Volvo XC40 and Platform Bike Rack
  • We've got just what you need with the Stealth Hidden Rack Receiver # SH77FR. The great thing about this 2 inch hitch is that it's specifically designed to be used with bike racks or cargo carriers and removed when not in use, and since the main crosstube installs behind your bumper, it provides a completely invisible look. If you do decide to do some light trailer towing in the future, you can easily upgrade with kit part # SH36FR. It sounds like you already have a platform bike rack compatible...

  • Air Mattress Recommendation for 2017 Volvo XC60
  • The AirBedz XUV Air Mattress with Built-In Rechargeable Battery Air Pump # 341032 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Volvo XC60. I really like this setup as it comes with a pump built in and the battery is rechargeable so it will work well and be really easy to use. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.

  • 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...

  • Tow Ready Wiring Kit # 119177KIT Recommendation for 1995 Volvo 850 For Trailer with Surge Brakes
  • For your 1995 Volvo 850 I would recommend that you install a Tow Ready Wiring Harness Kit, part # 119177KIT, like the one you referenced. This product has a 5-way connector that would provide you with a reverse lockout solenoid circuit and would work well for you. I attached installation instructions below for you to check out also.

  • 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...

  • We have the CTEK battery charger/maintainer part # CTEK56353 which was designed to be compatible with AGM style batteries like yours and will do a great job keeping them optimized during storage. The price isn't bad either so it's your best choice! I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.

  • 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.

  • What Hitch Will Fit A 2021 Volvo XC 60
  • Hello there, your 2021 Volvo XC60 is a confirmed fit for the Stealth Hitch Hidden Rack Receiver # SH87FR. The Stealth Hitch # SH77FR is not a confirmed fit. To answer your other question we do not have a confirmed fit hitch of any make or brand that is confirmed for the 2022 Volvo XC60. I called Stealth Hitches myself and they confirmed that they do NOT have a hitch that can fit any 2022 Volvo yet.

  • Is There a Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 1996 Volvo 850 Series
  • I do have an option for you but there are no trunk mount bike rack options confirmed to fit a 1996 Volvo 850 Series. That said, you can install a trailer hitch, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12211 and then use a hitch mounted bike rack like the Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Rack part # S63360. This will be a far better option in regards to ease of use.

  • Three Bike Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Volvo XC60
  • One of the most popular, higher end bike racks for 3 bikes that will also fit your 2012 Volvo XC60 if it has a Class II or Class III trailer hitch is the Thule Helium Aero, # TH9043PRO. This bike racks claim to fame is the light weight; only 19-1/2 pounds. I have included a link to a video review for you. It is able to be used on a Class I hitch but you will be limited to 2 bikes based on the hitch capacity when using any bike rack.

  • Does Curt Hitch part # C11337 Fit All Models of 2011 Volvo C30

  • M6 Barrel Nut Recommendation for Use with T-Slot Bolt part # 853-208909
  • The threads on the Replacement Square Head Bolt for Thule Fairings, # 853-208909, is an M6 bolt. The part # 853-0446 is an M6 barrel nut so it should work as well.

  • 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...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2018 Volvo XC90
  • For your 2018 Volvo XC90 the Curt hitch part # C53HR is the correct fit and the one you'd want. The other two part numbers you mentioned are not active, so they are no longer available. For trailer wiring you'd then want the Curt # C56285 which is a confirmed custom fit that will install easily. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in 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...

  • 2021 Volvo S60 Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation
  • Yes, the Hatch Huggers # SA3035 are required to install the Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack # SA805BL on your 2021 Volvo S60. This is due to there not being enough room for the hooks to fit on the sides of the rear door. Since the hatch huggers sit inside the hatch and pull against it on the inside this takes care of the issue so you can have those side straps secured as well. The Saris Bones is a very popular rack but my main issue with it is how the arms and main body adjust in and out. Most...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For Carrying A Bike Rack On A 2014 Volvo XC60
  • I can definitely recommend a hitch for your 2014 Volvo XC60, but it will be a Class III hitch as there are no Class II hitches offered for your vehicle. This is due to the size and ability of your vehicle to tow as a Class II hitch would end up being severely underrated. With that being said, a Class III hitch, like the Curt # 13268, will be great for carrying a bike rack or cargo carrier. This is rated up to 400 pounds of tongue weight, which will actually exceed that of your XC60, which...

  • Adapter to Use 1-1/4 Inch Bike Rack in 2 Inch Trailer Hitch on a 2015 Volvo XC60
  • What you will need to go from a 2 inch hitch on your 2015 Volvo XC60 to a 1-1/4 inch bike rack shank is a reducer sleeve, # HT02. The great thing about using a reducer sleeve is that it doesn't reduce the hitch tongue weight capacity. If you haven't settled on a hitch yet the most popular option for the 2015 XC60 is Curt hitch # 13268. If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or...

  • Recommended Load Extender to Match Roof Line on Wagon
  • The Yakima LongArm Truck Bed Load Extender part # Y01149 is our best out of the box option for matching the roof line on a wagon as it can be adjusted to one of the following heights. Low Bar Heights - 40 in, 37 in, 27 1/2 in, 14 1/4 in Mid Bar Heights- 41 3/8 in, 38 1/4 in, 28 in, 15 1/4 in High Bar Heights- 42 3/4 in, 39 1/2 in, 29 in, 15 3/4 in If this won't work for you, your only other option would be to go with something like the Erickson Big Bed Junior Load Extender for Truck...
