Recommended Hidden Hitch for a 2023 Volvo XC60
Question:
Hi, Im trying to decide between these two hitches for my 2023 Volvo XC60. Can you tell me the differences between them. I see the Stealth Hitch has a higher tongue weight rating but I am wondering what other differences there are. Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" Item # DT82GR Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" Item # SH87FR

I would be happy to! The main difference between those two is that you can tow with the Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite item # DT82GR. The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver item # SH87FR is only capable of being used for accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier.
As far as the tongue weight capacity goes you're going to be limited to the ability of your 2023 Volvo XC60. I took a look at your owner's manual and your Volvo tops out at a 350 lbs maximum tongue weight. This is common amongst hitch manufacturer's for their hitches to be over capacity for certain vehicles and different model years. There's a vehicle somewhere that the item # SH87FR fits that has a higher tongue weight capacity which is most likely the XC90.
I recommend going with the Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite item # DT82GR. It has the same removable receiver option so you won't see the hitch when you're not using it. It has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity and a 350 lbs tongue weight which is exactly what your 2023 Volvo XC60 is rated for.
I have linked an installation video below to help you get this hitch set up.
