Question:
Will the Thule Helium Aero 3 bike rack work on a 2013 Volvo XC60 SUV?

Expert Reply:
The Thule Helium Aero, # TH9043PRO, fits 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch trailer hitches so if your 2013 Volvo XC60 has a hitch the bike rack will fit!
If you need a trailer hitch the most popular option is Curt hitch # 13268. This is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver. I have linked a video showing an example installation of this hitch.
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 # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance.
