Expert Answers about Volvo XC40


  • Brake Controller Solution for 2019 Volvo XC40 R-Design T5 with Stealth Hitch Package
  • We have an easy brake controller solution for your 2019 Volvo XC40 that has the Stealth 7-way kit # SH36FR but we don't have a way to wire in the # TK90160 that you referenced. Instead we have the very easy to install Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180 which basically just would plug into the 7-way at the rear of your vehicle and once synced to a smart phone is ready to tow

  • 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...

  • Availability of Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer Kickstand
  • The easiest and best kickstand solution for the Yakima Rack and Roll trailers is the part # Y08115 that you referenced. If yours is broken or in otherwise need of replacing this would be the best choice. If for some reason you needed a different type of function from it that it doesn't provide let me know and I'll see if there's a possible jack solution but in terms of just being a foldable kickstand this is best option.

  • Bike Rack and Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Volvo XC40
  • For your 2019 Volvo XC40 we have the Stealth hitch part # SH77FR as a fit that I recommend. This is hidden when not in use and will have enough towing capacity as well. The best e-bike rack solution is the Thule Easy Fold XT part # TH903202 as it's has the needed weight capacity, has a frame clamp design that's very stable and easy to use, folds up for easy storage, and has a ramp for easy loading and unloading.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Kit Recommendation for 2020 Volvo XC40
  • I have a trailer hitch solution for your 2020 Volvo XC40 that is a confirmed fit but we do not have a Draw Tite hitch that has been carried over The Stealth hitch part # SH77FR though is a confirmed fit and a really great option. When you aren't using the hitch you can easily remove the lower hitch opening/ball mount platform and the hitch would be totally out of plain sight.

  • What Platform Bike Rack Do You Recommend with a Step-Through Bike with Fenders on a 2021 Volvo XC40?
  • For a great option for transporting 1 non-electric bike on your 2021 Volvo XC40, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # HR200Z. Since the Trail Rider attaches at your bike's frame, it will bypass any potential cracking or damage to the bike's fenders. The Trail Rider only weighs 36.25 pounds. We unfortunately do not carry a single-bike option that has a frame-mounted attachment style. Since you have a step-through frame style, I recommend...

  • Capacity of 2020 Volvo XC40 with Draw Tite Hitch to Carry Motorcycle
  • With any flat towing setup your overall weight capacity is only as strong as it's weakest components. So while the etrailer motorcycle carrier # e56UR says it can carry 400 pounds, your 2020 Volvo XC40 has the lower capacity so you would be limited to 350 lbs of tongue weight like you mentioned. So since the etrailer Aluminum Motorcycle Carrier part # e56UR weighs 50 lbs you'd have enough capacity to carry your bike that weighs 290 lbs.

  • What Roof Rack Do You Recommend For My 2022 Volvo XC40 To Carry A Thule Hullavator And Kayak
  • My roof rack recommendation for you will consist of a Yakima roof rack and the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs - Side Loading, part # TH898. The Hullavator will not work unless there is between 4" and 8" of crossbar extension beyond the towers/feet. Yakima roof racks are easier to setup with that extension.

  • Is There a Trick to Releasing Buttons of Konig Easy Fit Chains to Remove Them
  • Something's definitely off with your Konig Easy Fit chains part # TH04115250 if the release tabs won't allow the chains to release. I've installed these and removed them several times over the years and there isn't any secret or trick that you have to do to get the buttons to release/press. It sounds like something is binding up in your case though so I don't know if you can try pulling on various parts of the chain setup to release whatever tension is built up that would allow the buttons...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2020 Volvo XC40

  • 2023 Volvo XC40 Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Bike Rack
  • I recommend going with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76245 to carry a bike rack on your 2023 Volvo XC40. This hitch features a hidden crosstube but the receiver is easily accessible so you can quickly install your rack when it's needed. If you don't already have a bike rack then I highly recommend the Kuat NV 2.0 # NV22G because of how sleek it looks and how easy it is to use. This is one of the most well-rounded racks we have to offer and because of that it's my go-to...
