The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11065 is the only available trailer hitch that is confirmed to fit your 2008 Volvo C70 Convertible. This is a Class I hitch that will provide a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. If you are looking to pull a lightweight trailer, I recommend checking the towing capacities for your vehicle as listed in the owner's manual to ensure you stay under its limit. I have attached the installation details for you to check out.
For trailer lighting, I recommend installing the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236. This is a hardwire kit that will install on your vehicle to provide a 4-Way connector to power a trailer's rear signal lights. The installation instructions are attached.
We do offer some small trailers, such as the Detail K2 Mighty Utility Trailer # K2MMT5X7. This trailer features a GVWR (the most it can weigh when loaded) of 2,090 pounds and a bed that measures 88 inches long and 52 inches wide. The coupler will attach to a 2 inch hitch ball like # C40018. For a ball mount I recommend looking at the Curt # C45522 with a 3-7/8 inch rise. I have also included an article that will explain how to choose the correct ball mount if the rise on this unit is not enough to tow the trailer level.
I have also attached a couple of articles on trailer towing that you might find helpful.
