Expert Answers about Volvo XC90


  • Can 2006 Volvo XC90 with 4-Way Have Prodigy RF Brake Controller Installed
  • As long as you have a 7-way connector installed on your 2006 Volvo XC90 that has the 12 volt power circuit active (1:00 position) the RF part # TK94FR will fit and work well. You will need to change the 4-way you have to a 7-way with the # 37185. The only circuit you have to complete is the black wire up to the vehicle battery. You will need to use 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 through a breaker like part # 9510 and you will be ready to go.

  • Hidden Hitch Recommendation for 2020 Volvo XC90
  • We do have a hidden hitch that fits your 2020 Volvo XC90 with the Stealth Hitch part # SH27FRT. This hitch has a detachable lower hitch opening that allows you to totally hide the hitch when not in use by removing it when not needed. This also comes with trailer wiring and a ball mount setup so you'd get everything you need to tow with your vehicle with one part number.

  • Parts Needed to Install a Pair of the Miro-Flex Trailer Tail Light # STL22RB
  • The Miro-Flex Trailer Tail Light # STL22RB that you referenced is sold individually. If you needed a pair of these you would need to order a quantity of two. For a mounting grommet you would want the part # a70gb and for the pigtail harness part # A47PB.

  • Trailer Wiring Fit Recommendation for 2017 Volvo XC90
  • The Tekonsha trailer wiring part # 118683 is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Volvo XC90. Since it installs by plugging in line with the taillight harness of the vehicle it would not require any computer programming. Does your trailer happen to have LED taillights? Sometimes that causes issues with factory trailer wiring harnesses.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Brake Controller Wiring For 2016 Volvo XC90
  • Since you are purchasing the vehicle new, there are a couple things to look for. First, you want to know what the towing capacity is for the vehicle. You want to make sure you do not exceed the towing capacity for your new Volvo. The Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C13233 is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2 inch receiver opening. Per Curt, All non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps like part # 18050. Failure to properly support...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for 2004 Volvo XC90
  • The # 119250KIT and the # C59236 are two completely different applications, and the # C59236 is NOT a replacement for the # 119250KIT. The # 119250KIT is called for on vehicles with a highly sophisticated and complicated wiring system like that of your Volvo. Your Volvo uses a multiplex wiring system, and the # 119250KIT will work on almost all vehicles with a multiplex wiring system and it has been tested and found to work very well on your vehicle. The # C59236 works on most, but not...

  • No-drill trailer hitch and 4-bike carrier for 2016 Volvo XC90
  • For your 2016 Volvo XC90, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C53HR would be a great option. Not only is it an affordable option, it also does not require any drilling! Keep in mind, you will want to check your owner's manual to be sure you don't exceed the tongue weight capacity of your Volvo (tongue weight is the downward force that the trailer or hitch accessory applies to the vehicle's hitch). If you don't have a bike rack yet, I recommend checking out the Hollywood Racks Destination...

  • Recommended Trunk Mount Rack for 2019 Volvo XC90
  • I checked with Yakima and unfortunately the FullBack 2-Bike # Y02634 or 3-Bike # Y02633 Trunk-Mount Bike Rack is not compatible with your wife's 2019 Volvo XC90. I checked with our other bike rack manufacturer's and found that there is not currently a trunk-mounted option available that will fit both this vehicle and your 2019 BMW X5. Right now your only option will be to have a different rack for your two vehicles. For the 2019 Volvo XC90 I recommend taking a look at the Hollywood Racks...

  • Is an Adapter Bar Required for Alternative Frame and Kids Bikes on the Thule Gateway Bike Rack
  • If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # TH982XT. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wife's bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my sons bike at all. There are other adapter bars that you could use that cost less. I have used a...

  • Most Economical 7-Way and Brake Controller for 2005 Volvo XC90
  • The most economical option to add a 7-way and brake controller to your 2005 Volvo XC90 is going to take a number of parts, starting with a 4-way, the T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56045. A 4-way is needed because it will allow you to then install a 7-way adapter; the 4-way will be what allows your trailer's turn signals to function. From there you will need to use the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Installation # ETBC7L, which will give you the 7-way and other...

  • Brake Controller Recommendation that Can Mount in a Concealed Location on Vehicle Dash
  • From a functional point of view the P2 part # 90885 would still work fine in the truck of a vehicle once properly installed and setup, however since you'd lose the ability to have the override it would not be a safe or ideal scenario. A better option for you would be Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller - Wireless # C51180 which allows you to use a mobile app for the manual override function. If you prefer the ability to have a physical override button on your dash or console, the...

  • Easiest Way to Install Curt Echo Mobile Controller on Vehicle with 4-Way
  • All brake controllers will need more than the 4-way wiring harness circuits to function but the Curt Echo part # C51180 does still offer the simplest solution to go from 4-way to 7-way and be functional. What you'll want is the 7-way conversion kit part # ETBC7L which was designed with the Echo in mind and you'd be set. This will require you to plug in your 4-way to it and then run a power wire from the positive terminal of your battery to the black wire of the adapter and you'd be set....

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For and Towing Capacity of 2005 Volvo XC90
  • Based on my research, it looks like the 2005 Volvo XC90 has a towing capacity of 4,000 to 5,000 pounds, depending on the exact model. With this in mind, I still strongly suggest taking a look at the owner's manual for the vehicle or verifying this information with your local dealer before purchasing it to tow your pop-up camper or 3,000 pound trailer. For a trailer hitch that is confirmed to fit the 2005 Volvo XC90, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III # 75152. This Class III hitch features...

  • 2 inch Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Volvo XC90 Carrying Bike Rack
  • For a Class III, 2 inch hitch confirmed as a fit for your 2017 Volvo XC90 that would work great for carrying a bike rack the best option would be the Curt # C53HR. Since hitch installs are pretty basic for most mechanics any local mechanic near you with a good reputation would be a great choice.

  • Hitch Recommendation for a 2006 Volvo XC90 for Use with a Bike Rack
  • The correct hitch for carrying a bike rack with your 2006 Volvo XC90 would be the Curt Hitch part # 13559. The reason it is called a trailer hitch is because this product was initially designed for people to tow trailers with their tow vehicles. Later people came up with ways to use the hitch to carry bikes using bike racks designed for the hitches. So this hitch would be exactly what you need. The most popular bike rack we offer that would work well for you would be the Swagman XTC-2...

  • Would K-Source Backup Mirror Fit a 2014 Volvo XC90
  • To determine if the # KSVS-8 will fit your 2014 Volvo XC90 you will have to look at your factory mirror. If it is held on with a little screw and then slips off a plate that is glued to the windshield then you have a wedge mount style and this mirror will fit. See attached picture. Additional brackets would not be required.

  • 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...

  • Ball Mount with 2-5/16 inch Hitch Ball to Fit OEM Hitch of 2022 Volvo XC90
  • Your 2022 Volvo XC90's factory hitch is basically a standard 2 inch trailer hitch so for a ball mount solution that will allow you to use a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball you'd want the Curt # C45030 and then for a hitch ball the part # C40005.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for 2019 KZ Escape E191BH
  • The Husky Center Line Weight Distribution System part # HT32215 is my recommendation for a 2019 KZ Escape E191BH. This is one of the best value options on the market. It features bolt-on installation and has integrated sway control which will be needed for these lighter trailers as they have the tendency to get rather loose while out on the highway with passing trucks. The system also comes with the hitch ball pre-torqued so you'll be set.

  • Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for a 2014 Volvo XC90 with Rear Spoiler at the Top of the Hatch
  • I have included a picture showing a Yakima trunk mount bike rack installed on a Volvo XC90. Most bike carriers that use straps will fit the same way. I do not recommend it though because that spoiler at the top of the hatch is not designed to hold any weight. What I recommend is the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2. This rack has an additional upper arm piece that moves the top straps up and over that spoiler so no weight is put on it (since the spoiler is not meant to support...
