I recommend the Curt Custom Hitch, # 13268, for your 2010 Volvo XC60. This hitch comes with the complete hardware kit and installation instructions. It is a sturdy, square-tube design that remains mostly hidden once installed. I've attached a picture of this hitch installed on a 2011 Volvo XC60 so that you can see what it will look like. You can click on the part number to see the most current pricing.

If you are going to be carrying a bike rack, one of the most popular racks for your vehicle is the Thule Camber Bike Rack, # TH9056, which carries up to 4 bikes and tilts down when not in use. You may also want to purchase the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock, # THSTL2 to lock the rack to your hitch.

If you plan on towing a trailer, you will also need a wiring harness like # HM11143744 and a ball mount. I recommend the ball mount kit, # 989900, which comes with 2 ball mounts and 2 balls to give you maximum flexibility.
