Recommended Trailer Hitch Reciever and Bike Rack for 2019 Volvo XC60

Question

Question:

Looking for both a Class III hitch and platform bike rack for a 2019 Volvo XC 60. For the hitch, I most likely will only be using the hitch to transport 1 or 2 bikes, and not a trailer, but I do want it to be durable and to be unobtrusive visually. For the bike rack, it will be used to transport 1 or 2 bikes, 1 has a long 52 wheelbase step-through and is a Day 6 Journey, and will probably need an adapter bar too. The 2nd bike is likely to be either a standard mens or ladies bike. Please advise your recommendations on the hitch, bike rack, and XL adapter bar for the Day6 Journey. I did see on your website that the Draw-Tite 75671, 76116, and EH95VR are the recommended hitches, but I need help figuring out which is best for me to buy. Thanks.

The EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receiver - 2" # EH95VR is the correct hitch for your 2019 Volvo XC60. The Draw Tite Hitches # 75671 and # 76116 are only confirmed to fit the XC60 up to the 2017 model year, so they will not work for you.

For your bike rack, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 2 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # HR1450Z which will work for your bikes and includes the locks. Unless your bike has almost no crossbar it will work even with women's step-thru frames. If you want to use an adapter bar like # 64005 for stability you can absolutely use that with the hook. Measuring 33-3/4 inches at full extension, it's the longest bike adapter bar we have.

The EcoHitch trailer hitch that fits your 2019 Volvo XC60 may interfere with the hands-free liftgate, yes. Most of the time you simply need to kick your foot to the side of the receiver as opposed to the middle and the hands-free liftgate will still…

I may have a solution for you, but I checked with Stealth Hitches, who make the "removable" hitch receiver I believe you're referring to and they don't have a confirmed fit for your 2015 Volvo XC60 as of yet. With that said, a hitch…

For the most part the Curt #13268 and the Draw-Tite #75671 and #76116 are going to be the same hitch; they're all square tube designs and provide you with a 2" receiver. I generally prefer Curt hitches when available since we've found…

Answer 8

The difficulty ratings for the install of the hitches for the 2013 Volvo XC60 are decided by the manufacturers. The Draw Tite hitch part #75671 and the Curt part #13268 are both so similar that neither would install easier than the other. Curt just…

I recommend the Draw-Tite receiver, part #76116, for your 2015 Volvo XC60 T6 R-Design. The R-Design model likely requires you to remove and trim the rear bumper cover but it's still going to fit. I've lined a video that shows the installation…

Answer 11

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
