Helpful Expert Reply:
The Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # SH27FRT is going to be the best receiver for your 2017 Volvo XC90. This allows you to remove the receiver tube or ball mount when not needed providing you a clean factory appearance. It also includes the trailer wiring needed for adding a 7-way trailer connector which will integrate into the factory wiring. This is a more difficult install than one like our etrailer Receiver # e53KR as it will involve removing the rear bumper fascia which you can see in the installation video linked below.
If you choose to go with the easier install etrailer Receiver # e53KR you will need a separate 4-Way Wiring Harness # C56285. And for trailers requiring a 7-way you will need the Upgrade Kit # ETBC7 as well for this setup.
