My items shipped almost immediately. Unfortunately, the hitch was wrapped in plastic and nothing more. The exposed receiver has 2 silver marks that will be sure to be attention getters. The parts bag, that was taped to the receiver, has a hole larger than the size of the nuts. I sure hope none fell out! I'll find out this weekend. Pretty cheezy packaging!

Got it, Great Service. Will let you know about the installation

fantastic hitch great buy!!!!

I called customer service with what I thought was an issue with the hitch. Turns out the [online] video wasn't as good as the written instructions. Customer service was very helpful and was standing by to help solve the problem but I found my mistake. Good product, price, and delivery too!



by:

Everything you need to get going, Installation is easy although it took me longer because I was on my own and on my back. But all the instructions are spot on.



by:

Good fast service! Thank you!

Hitch was delivered fast and with all the needed hardware. I found the install was quick and easy. The directions were easy to follow and correct. Also, got a wire harness and it was just the same as the hitch... Perfect. Love etrailer!!!!

Be warned! Not an easy install by yourself unto a 2015 Volvo XC60.

Hitch arrived via UPS with ends poking out the box.

First of all, heat shielding has to be trimmed where the hitch mounts to the frame. It’s very difficult to mark the area to be cut accurately.

Secondly, it’s easy to mix up the bolt and spacer combination as you fish them through the access holes. I messed up the long bolt and short bolt locations and had to redo them.

Thirdly, who comes up with a 11/16” bolt to use as hardware? One of these nuts were in a location where a deep well socket was too long, standard socket was too shallow as the thread protrusion was too much and no space to get a wrench in there to do anything. Ended up using a stubby ratchet and not fully connecting the socket to tighten the best I could. Definitely not enough torque on it at this moment and will have to go back and figure out something.

If I had a redo, I should have purchased the factory hitch.



by:

I've put an eTrailer hitch on my last three vehicles, saving a ton of money and I couldn't be happier with the product.



by:

Glad i bought the hitch. Everything fits, is strong and solid, easy to install without doing anything to the car itself. I got Volvo electronics instead of 3rd party wiring. Only negative was having to get Volvo dealer to 'patch' for the added wiring. Otherwise, i now have use of a light trailer without problems and at a reasonable cost. i recommend this product.

  • Weight Distribution System for Use on 2015 Volvo XC60 for Pulling 3300-lb Trailer
    My research on your vehicle indicates that suitably-equipped versions can tow as much as 3500-lbs, but I was not able to verify the XC60's quoted 162-lb tongue weight rating. If this is the figure that is indicated in your owner's manual (or confirmed by your dealership) then you will not be able to tow your 2500-lb trailer even with weight distribution. Weight distribution can be used in instances where the tow vehicle's hitch receiver is specifically rated for use with such systems...

  • Comparing Draw Tite to Curt Hitches for 2015 Volvo XC60
    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 that the powder coating on those hitches are a bit more durable over time and will hold up to the rigors of towing and travel. Even if it's just hauling around a bike carrier, it's still the best choice.

  • Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2010 Volvo XC60
    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.

    We have hitches that fit your 2020 Volvo V90 like the Stealth Hitch part # SH47FRT which comes with everything you'd need to tow and is totally invisible when you aren't towing but the # 13268 that you referernced will not work for you as it does not fit the V60 wagon.

  • Installation of Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13268 on 2015 Volvo XC60
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Class III # 13268 is a fit for your 2015 Volvo XC60. We do not have a video of a 2015 model, but I've attached videos for both a 2016 and a 2014 model to assist. Your heat shield must be modified or trimmed for hitch installation. I've attached the installation details, to assist with the installation, but they don't give specific measurements for trimming. You basically trim where the hitch will install.

  • Hitch Comparison and Recommendation for 2011 Volvo XC60
    It's really pretty hard to pick between the three hitches that are available for your 2011 Volvo XC60 as they are all very similar in all of the important criteria. The prices are very close, the capacities are the same, the designs are very similar, and the installs will be basically the exact same. To help narrow things down a bit though the Hidden Hitch and the Draw Tite # 75671 are the exact same hitch as they are made by the same company. The only different one from those is the Curt...

  • How to Correct Rattle from Newly Installed Draw-Tite Hitch on 2016 Volvo XC60
    Don't worry. Since you know and trust your local mechanic who did the hitch install, chances are that the rattling noise you're now hearing after hitch installation is simply the fairly common issue of the muffler coming into contact with the hitch tube. This is not cause for concern and it is easily remedied. The linked article addresses this matter and offers several ways to fix it. Auto makers do not install their muffler hangers with the same precision that is applied to other components...

  • Different Installation Difficulty Ratings for Hitches for the 2013 Volvo XC60
    The hitch installation difficulty ratings we show for the three hitches specified for your 2013 Volvo XC60 are based on the manufacturer ratings. These are the estimated times required for an experienced professional installer to complete the job. For any hitch, the time needed for a first-time effort will be longer; how much longer will depend to a degree on whether you have access to the tools and equipment resources a professional installer would have, such as a vehicle lift. Both hitches...

  • Will Hitch Install on a 2014 Volvo XC60 Void Warranty
    When you install an aftermarket part on your vehicle like a trailer hitch in this case, you are protected by the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act. This act states, in part, that unless the installation and the part caused a problem then the warranty cannot be voided. I recommend looking it up online. You should be just fine installing the Curt hitch part # 13268 but I would recommend you look up the towing capacities of the vehicle in the owners manual. I attached an install video for you to...

  • Parts Needed For Towing a Trailer With a 2017 Volvo XC60
    I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13268 for your 2017 Volvo XC60. This receiver is made in the USA and has a 2" opening for ball mounts and other hitch mounted accessories. For towing a trailer you will need a kit like the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # e67DR. The 4-Way Wiring # C56355 will allow you to connect to most small trailers or Auxiliary Lights # C53201. If your trailer has electric brakes you will need to add a 7-Way # ETBC7. This kit contains the wiring for running a...

  • Install Picture of the Curt Trailer Hitch part # 13268
    We haven't had the chance to install the Curt Hitch part # 13268 on a 2014 Volvo XC60R, but we do have some install pictures and a video on a 2011 Volvo XC60 that I attached for you to check out. It will install in the same area on your vehicle and give you the same look. For trailer wiring you would want the Tow Ready harness part # 118739. For ball mounts I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag.

  • Is Fascia Trimming Required to Install a Trailer Hitch on a 2015 Volvo XC60
    If you do not have an R-Design model 2015 Volvo XC60 then you should not have to trim the rear fascia (heat shield trimming under the vehicle is still required). Take a look at the installation instructions I have linked to the right for more information. I have also linked a video that should help. If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch...

  • Hitch Weight Capacity Differences Between the 2017 and 2018 Volvo XC60
    You are correct that the 2017 and 2018 models of the Volvo XC60 have varying capacities when it comes to hitches. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13268 which is for the 2017 model has a 400 lb. tongue weight capacity while the Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver part # SH87FR which is for the 2018 model year is rated for 600 lbs. of tongue weight. The design of the vehicles are different enough that the hitches are not cross compatible. So to maximize the hitches capacity the 2018 is...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendations for a 2014 Volvo XC60
    Whenever there are Class II and Class III trailer hitch options for a vehicle I always recommend going with the Class III for a few reasons. First, the Class III hitch is going to be stronger, more metal, and considering that you are towing a trailer behind the vehicle going with a stronger hitch is a good thing. The other benefit is that a Class III trailer hitch will have a 2 inch receiver opening which is compatible with more accessories than a 1-1/4 inch hitch. But all of the hitches...

  • Installation Difficulty of Curt Class III # 13268 and Draw-Tite 75671 for a 2015 Volvo XC60
    The installation procedure for the Curt Class III # 13268 and the Draw-Tite # 75671 are identical for all intents and purposes. The differing install difficulty ratings reflect each manufacturer's opinion of how difficult the hitches are to install. I've looked over the installation procedure, and I'd personally rate it as a 4 or 5. Since the hitches have an identical appearance, identical weight ratings and an identical installation procedure, there's no reason why you couldn't go with...

As you can see in the accompanying photo I provided, both hitches will have about a 1 inch reveal below the bottom edge of the bumper fascia. Keep in mind that if your XC60 is the R Design model, some fascia trimming might be needed. Both hitches would install in the same manner, and share identical weight capacities. I'd recommend the Curt # 13268 as it's the least expensive. If you'll...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For Carrying A Bike Rack On A 2014 Volvo XC60
    I can definitely recommend a hitch for your 2014 Volvo XC60, but it will be a Class III hitch as there are no Class II hitches offered for your vehicle. This is due to the size and ability of your vehicle to tow as a Class II hitch would end up being severely underrated. With that being said, a Class III hitch, like the Curt # 13268, will be great for carrying a bike rack or cargo carrier. This is rated up to 400 pounds of tongue weight, which will actually exceed that of your XC60, which...

  • Parts Needed to Tow Trailer with 2015 Volvo XC60
    For your 2015 Volvo XC60 I recommend going with the Curt # 13268 hitch because the heavy powder coating that Curt uses on their hitches is going to help protect against rust and corrosion, which will be especially helpful in the wet Florida climate. This will be a great choice for your Volvo XC60 and will provide you with a safe solution for towing your boat. In order to tow a trailer you'll also need a few other things: a wiring harness, ball mount and hitch ball. For a wiring harness...

  • Does Curt Hitch 13268 Fit 2017 Volvo XC60 AWD And is Heat Shield Trimming Needed
    The Curt trailer hitch part # 13268 fits all models of the 2017 Volvo XC60 including the all wheel drive models like what you have. The heat shield does need to be trimmed to install this hitch as well. If you fast forward to the 2:30 mark of the video link I attached you'll see where exactly it needs to be trimmed. It's pretty easy to do though. All you'd need is a set of tin snips.
