This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.

Ordering from etrailer.com was fast and easy. Received my hitch receiver in a couple of days. Installation was easy and instructions were straight forward. Took about an hour but would have been faster if I didn't mess around with trying to put the factory tie down back in place. I then decided to leave it off as it's not needed anyway with the hitch receiver installed. Fascia trimming was easy, I used oscillating multi tool. I did not remove the rubber exhaust hanger, i just unbolted the mount and rotated it out the way. Its a sturdy quality receiver.



by:

Receiver hitch was delivered very quickly. I’m very happy with my purchase.

2011 Volvo XC90

The hitch fit my 2011 XC90 perfectly. Instruction say to remove and replace the rubber muffler mount, but you don't have to fully remove it, just take the bolts out and rotate the whole mount straight down to the ground on its rubber. Then put up the hitch, and rotate the mount back up and put the bolts in. It was EASY! Also cutting out the XC90's plastic valance was no problem. You just draw a rectangle with a Sharpie. I used a sawzall, but a hacksaw or even tinsnips could do a good job. Cutout is about 2 inches by 5 inches and it's below the car, the cut area is not visible at all. I included a pic.



by:

The Curt hitch I bought from etrailer was a great price, shipped fast and I installed it in about 15 minutes. Great shopping experience.



by:

I haven't been able to find a email related to the receiver hitch that I purchased from you and that is the item that I was considering writing the reviews for. When I received the box I didn't notice any damage but when I went to install it. It was bent and would not install.

Well it sounds to me like you have experienced a flexed hitch. This is very common when shipping hitches. We recommend using some sort of vise to bend the wings back into place. I have a link below for more information and your reference.

Always great products, clear ordering, and timely delivery. I'm a returning customer for years.

my customers are very please with my choice to use e trailer for all their RV/trailer and accessory needs in the future.

2005 Volvo XC90

Have not installed the receiver hitch. It does not work with my vehicle even though it says it is the correct hitch for a 2005 Volvo XC90. It hits the exhaust. I am not an amateur at installing hitches. I've bought from you before and not had any problems.

Curt, I apologize for any inconvenience with your order. Occasionally, a installed hitch will make contact with a vehicles exhaust system. Thankfully, there are some remedies available for this issue by looking at this helpful link. I hope this helps!



by:

All parts arrived the next day. Everything fit per installation instructions. Wish everything I order online worked as well. Thanks again for carrying products made in USA.

2005 Volvo XC90

Ordered the Curt hitch and T-tap wiring harness for the 2005 Volvo xc90. Everything shipped quickly and came packaged together. I appreciated the emails telling me when teh package shipped and tracking information. The hitch went in smoothly and without and problems. All hardware was included and the holes lined up perfectly. The wiring harness could not have been easier. simply unplug the existing light connections and snap the new harness inline. A cordless drill is a must to secure the ground screw, even though it is self tapping. The kit included everything I needed, including wire zip ties.
I would recommend etrailer.com to anyone looking for a hitch related product; good product and great online videos to walk you through an install.



by: 05/03/2021

This hitch was perfect on my 2013 Volvo XC90 - we loved it and used it a lot! The guys at our local gas station and service garage installed it easily. We just sold our car, and unfortunately the hitch would not fit on our new car - this was the hardest thing to give up!



by:

Hitch fit as it should. Good price. Decent turn around after ordering.



by:

Worked like a charm



by:

The hitch was well constructed and a perfect fit. Less than an hour to install.



by:

Hitch was easy to install and has worked flawlessly.



by:

Installation was a bit of work but not too bad. Probably took 2hrs at most. It is a snug fit and you have to trim a bit of fascia out of the way. I am happy with the look and function of the receiver. Overall very satisfied.



by:
2004 Volvo XC90

I installed on a 2004 volvo xc90. I watched install video went exactly as shown. Only hiccup was I had a bumper support that I had to trim/grind 1/8 of inch or so. Also if you are laying underneath car best having 2 people. I managed with a jack but wasn't easy.



by:
2004 Volvo XC90

Installation of the hitch took 45 minutes in my driveway with hand tools and a jack, fit exactly as it should and the instructions offered ample detail.
The muffler on my particular model ended up sitting directly against the hitch but I don't foresee any issues and it could be easily remedied by a muffler shop for a few bucks.

by:
2007 Volvo XC90

The product was of great value and construction. Instructions were simple and installation was easy. On the 2007 XC 90 we had to pop the rivets that hold a plastic piece of the bumper to keep it from virbrating. We did that, used zip ties with the same holes and wrapped around the bumper. I drove 600 miles and no noise. Excellent product.



by:
2013 Volvo XC90

Thank you for the follow up. I love the trailer hitch exactly what I needed and it looks great.



by:
Volvo XC90

I bought this hitch for use with a bike rack on my Volvo XC90. It was very easy to install and works great. The online video instructions from eTrailer were very helpful.



by:

etrailer made it a simple process for a good price. They didn't have the hitch I ordered in stock and with a simple phone call the replacement hitch was on it's way with no issues.



by:
2006 Volvo XC90

Perfect fitting product and relatively easy and I am very experienced. There is a little bit of trimming of the bumper cover to make it fit exactly right, but this can be done with a hack saw.



by:

Super easy and straight forward. Had the hitch installed in 20 minutes. No fuss. You will need a helping hand. A bit much for someone alone. We are always happy with Curt products. And like always, eTrailer is AWESOME!



by:

I purchased two hitches from etrailer. Both fit the car perfect. The videos on how to install were great.

  • Does The Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Fit A 2004 Volvo XC90 With Spare Tire Underneath
    The Curt Trailer Hitch, # 13559, on the 2004 Volvo XC90 will not interfere with the spare tire. The spare tire is removed before the hitch is installed to allow easier access to the mounting locations on the vehicles frame. After the hitch is installed then the spare tire can be put back in place. The installation video of the hitch on the 2010 Volvo XC90 did not show them removing the spare tire or reinstalling it after installation. There is a tie down bracket underneath the vehicle...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2008 Volvo XC90
    For your 2008 Volvo XC90, the trailer hitch you want is actually the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13559. This is the only Draw-Tite hitch confirmed to fit. For your wiring harness, you will want the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118411. This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your Volvo XC90's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side interior trim panels in your rear cargo area. Once you've plugged in the T-connector,...

  • Best Trailer Hitch for a 2004 Volvo XC70
    I do have a trailer hitch receiver that will fit your 2004 Volvo XC70 but it has a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening, not a 2" receiver tube opening. They do not make one with such for your Volvo and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13559 that you referenced will not fit. The correct trailer hitch I recommend for you is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12318 which as previously mentioned has a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. The 1-1/4" receiver tube opening however can still do mostly...

    We do have hitch-mount bike racks that fit the 2-inch hitches for your 2014 Volvo XC90 and many of these bike racks allow for full access to the car's rear hatch and cargo area. If you happen to need a hitch I recommend the 2-inch Curt # 13559 Class III hitch. This will allow you to use most bike racks including the following racks. The most popular type of hitch rack for keeping cargo area access is the swing-away type, such as the Yakima FullSwing 4 Bike Rack # Y02465. The FullSwing...

  • Weight Distribution Brake Controller Hitch Recommendation 2008 Volvo XC90
    To pick out a weight distribution hitch for your 2008 Volvo XC90 you'll need to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of your towing setup. Based on the capacities of the hitches that fit your vehicle like the Curt part # 13559 a really setup would be the Reese Strait Line part # RP66083 which has a tongue weight range of 400 to 800 lbs and has best sway control at fighting sway before it starts. For your wiring harness, you will want the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat...

  • Trailer Wiring and Hitch that Fits 2011 Volvo XC90
    For a 4-way US style trailer wiring harness the part # 118411 is the best option that is the easiest to install and the most reliable converter box. The Curt hitch part # 13559 is a really great option to. It's a confirmed fit and it gives you a mostly hidden appearance as well. I attached an install video for it 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.

  • Recommended Fixed Ball Mount for Correct Hitch Ball Height on 2007 Volvo XC90
    For your Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13559, I recommend the etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches - 7,500 lbs # 989900. This kit is a customer favorite because it gives you different hitch ball options and ball mounts to give you the correct fit for your vehicle and trailer to tow level. I've attached an article on ball mount height and a video to assist.

  • Is the Installation the Same for a 2006 Volvo XC90 Compared to the Video For a 2004 or 2007 XC90
    From my research it looks like the first generation of the Volvo XC90 runs from 2002 - present (2014) with a minor facelift in 2007. The installation process is same as either the 2004 or 2007 for your 2006 Volvo. The installation of this Curt # 13559 hitch does not require additional drilling, it does require minor fascia trimming. It is recommended to temporarily lower the exhaust and spare tire for installing this hitch. I would think that one helper would suffice. I have included...

  • Weight and Dimensions of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13559
    Thank you for your service! When it comes to shipping the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13559 has a weight of 38 lbs (including the packaging) and comes in a box that is 58" x 8" x 26". I did go out to the warehouse and found the hitch itself measures 44-3/4" long x 12-1/4" deep x 9" high. This is a fit for US versions of 2003 - 2014 Volvo XC90 so I am unsure if it will fit your vehicle if you purchased it across seas.

    The Curt Class III trailer hitch, part # 13559 would be an excellent choice. The hitch installation is pretty simple. If you view the attached installation instructions, you can decide if the installation is something you'd feel comfortable attempting yourself. You'll also need a ball mount like part # 2923 and a trailer ball like part # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or # 63845 for a 2 inch. If the trailer has brakes, and you want them to actuate, you'll need to install a brake controller....

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...

  • How to Run Hopkins 4-Pole Extension # HM47115 to Exterior of Vehicle and Hitch Mounting Bracket
    Usually within the rear cargo area of a vehicle there will be access holes, sometimes filled with a rubber grommet, through which you can route wiring. Since the size of the 4-pole plug # HM47115 may be too large for some of these holes it may be necessary to widen the opening. Take a look under the rear cargo area carpet and trim panels for any such available openings.

  • Can Trailer Hitch from 2010 Volvo XC60 Be Used on 2012 XC90?
    We do have a hitch fit for the 2012 Volvo XC90, but unfortunately the 2010 Volvo XC60 and and a 2012 XC90 use different hitches. For the 2012 XC90, I'd recommend the Curt Class IIl hitch, part # 13559. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness, part # 118411, a # C45010 ball mount and for a trailer ball, use # 40038 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball.

The receiver will rest just below the bottom of the rear fascia. I have linked the instructions for you. The hitch is rated to handle 3 bikes or a small rental trailer with ease.

I recommend going with the etrailer because it has a matte black finish that helps it blend in with black trim on your vehicle and also helps to hide any scratches that might occur from road debris.

If the weld nut threading is too mangled due to crossthreading, you can use a larger thread tap and a larger grade 5 bolt compatible with that new threading for the installation.

  • Curt or Draw Tite Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Carrying Cargo Carrier with 2013 Volvo XC90
    For a cargo carrier application the Draw Tite hitch part # 75152 that you referenced would be the better choice. This has the higher 500 lb tongue weight capacity which is the correct figure to use for a cargo carrier. Weight distribution capacity is when you use a weight distribution hitch. Which can't be used with a cargo carrier. Hidden Hitch is no longer made, but they were made by the same company as Draw Tite so they were the same hitch.
