Expert Answers about Volvo V60


  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2018 Volvo V60 R Design
  • Starting with the trailer hitch I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch # 75916, which is confirmed to fit the R Design edition of your 2018 Volvo V60, because it is the highest rated unit available for your vehicle. This will provide you with a 2 inch receiver opening, will use existing holes in the Volvo's frame for a no-drill installation, and features a clean hidden-crosstube design where only the receiver will be visible (see attached photo). I have attached...

  • Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2016 Volvo V60
  • The first thing you'd need to install a hitch bike rack on your 2016 Volvo V60 will be a hitch like the Draw Tite part # 75916 that fits your V60, has plenty of capacity, and is mostly hidden. Then for a bike rack I really like the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider part # HR200Z as it's very well made and stable, is easy to load, and costs less than similar bike racks that rival it's quality.

  • Recommended Hitch For Carrying Electric Bikes on Rear of 2015 Volvo V60
  • Beginning with the hitch, I'd recommend the Draw-Tite Class III hitch, part # 75916. I'd recommend this hitch because it does not require a stabilizing strap, like the Curt hitch does. To determine definitively if a bike rack and a given vehicle will be compatible, we need to know how far under the vehicle the receiver tube of the hitch will be recessed, as this distance varies from vehicle to vehicle. We haven't completed an installation of this hitch on a Volvo V60, so I can't say for...

  • 2015 Volvo V60 Trailer Hitch Recommendation
  • Yes, for your 2015 Volvo V60 we have the Draw Tite trailer hitch part # 75916 which is a confirmed fit and would work well. For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # C56287.

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 or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If the ball mount...

  • Comparing Factory and Aftermarket Roof Racks for a 2020 Volvo V60
  • The advantages of an aftermarket roof rack compared to a factory one are plentiful. For starters, the factory racks always have issues trying to mount certain accessories because the crossbars usually aren't the standard size aftermarket carriers are designed to work with so, in short, they will be much more compatible with roof mounted accessories. The aftermarket roof racks also have higher weight capacities, longer crossbars for more storage space, locking capability, and integrated...

The receiver isn't tucked too far behind the bumper on your Volvo to cause any kind of rack-to-bumper interference with the EasyFold and the receiver depth is not an issue.

  • Thanks for reaching out! The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2018 Volvo V60 is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e77KR because it has a hidden crosstube and a matte black finish.

  • Is Fascia Trimming Required to Install Hitch on 2017 Volvo V60
  • Due to the lower fascia design of your 2017 Volvo V60 there isn't a way to install a hitch like the Curt # 13266 without trimming the rear fascia. This is very common on newer vehicles like yours. I attached a picture that I took from the install instructions that covers the trimming as well as a link to an install video that shows it as well.

  • Motorcycle Carrier Recommendation
  • Without knowing what year your Honda Pilot is I can't look up the tongue weight rating of the hitch that you would have on it, but I can say that our the weight of your carrier plus the weight of your bike must be less than your tongue weight. For a great carrier I would recommend the # e98873. This carrier has a 500 lb capacity that should work well for either your scooter or a dirt bike in the future.

  • Recommended Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier for Shallow Volvo Folding OEM Hitch
  • The distance on the shank between the hitch pin hole and he end of the shank for the 59502 is 2-7/8 inches, so it wouldn't work in your hitch. However, the Curt # C18151 folding carrier you'd looked at measures 2-1/2 inches between the center of the hitch pin hole and the end of the shank, so it'll work great for you, with a little room to spare. You'll be able to fold the carrier up toward the rear of the vehicle if the distance from the center of your hitch pin hole to the furthest...
