Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2014 Volvo S60

Question:

Looking to purchase the Hidden Hitch 87674 OR the DrawTite 75916 for a 2014 Volvo S60. We have our older Swagman round tube bike rack. Can we purchase the just the subassemblies to install our original bike rack onto the new hitch?

For your 2014 Volvo S60 the Draw Tite hitch part # 75916 would work well for carrying a bike rack. It's the exact same hitch as the Hidden Hitch you referenced as they are made by the same company. This hitch has a 2 inch opening though so it will require rack to have the same size shank. Most likely the adapter you mentioned would not be available so it would be time for a new bike rack.

The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check out the review video I attached for more info.

If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
