Yes we do! The etrailer Class 3 Hitch # e45KR is confirmed to fit the 2013 Volvo XC90. This hitch has a 2" receiver, which will be compatible with the Thule Apex Swing XT # TH9027XT. The hitch is rated for 350 lbs of tongue weight, so it will be plenty strong to hold your Thule bike rack and four bikes.

Answer 6

If I am understanding your issue correctly, you need the Replacement 2" Hitch Adapter for Thule Doubletrack, Hitching Post Pro, #853-7489. And yes, you slide this on to the shank and screw it into place to hold it. That piece is what upsizes it…

For the version of the Thule T2 bike rack that you have TH9035XT the only solution you have is the #HT02 since a replacement shank isn't currently available. For a hitch lock to use with this I would go with the #63232 which also acts as an…

Answer 9

I do have a solution for you but adapter #853-7489 does not fit the T2 TH9045. What you can use (and what is basically the same thing only it doesn't attach to the bike carrier) is a reducer sleeve, #HT02. Pin the reducer into the hitch receiver…
