Draw-Tite Tested Tough

Draw-Tite Tested Tough

Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.



Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.


In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.


etrailer.com Technical Support

At etrailer.com we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch. The technicians at etrailer perform hitch installations on a daily basis, making them a valuable resource for do-it-yourselfers. The one-on-one, personal service you'll receive comes straight from an expert in the towing and automotive field. We've installed it, we've wired it and we've towed with it, so whatever your question, we can answer it.

Great Cust service!

Volvo trailer hitchIt is nice when something goes as advertised. It would have been a full excellent, except the clip for the hitch pin is too long and interferes with hitch receiver frame. I had to use a bolt to hold hitch in the receiver. Hidden Hitch's issue, not etrailer.



by:

about as easy as 123.... perfect fitment. really like the round profile, as the namesake refers, Hidden Hitch.
if you are installing on a volvo I would give this item a solid recommendation. clean, sleek, intergated look.
top notch customer service, fast shipping, follow up communications.
would give 5 of 5 on this one.
thanks.

I installed the hidden hitch on my 2008 s60 Volvo without a problem , took about a half hour to do and worked out great. Used the hitch for my two bicycle stand and went to the beach with the bicycles. A perfect fit for what I wanted.

The hitch looks just as pictured. A little dinged up, but nothing more than will happen the first five minutes on the road. I am satisfied.

My mechanic put it on since it involved some undercarriage work, don't like to mess with the Volvo...too tempermental. He only charged me $20. Good deal since the whole thing was a third of the cost contrasted with the dealer for a far superior product.

nice construction, installed in approx. 20 minutes with hand tools. NO cutting needed!

Customer satisfactionFrom the answering of the phone call to the delivery of the proper product - smooth sailing.
I'm a satisfied customer.

I bought this hitch for my 2007 Volvo. eTrailers had the best price and delivery was fast. It arrived intact and in great condition. Great service and great products at eTrailer.



by:

Excellent product and excellent service from etrailer.com. I have ordered from these guys several times and they always surprise me on how fast and efficient they are. If you need anything trailer related, you must order from this place. You will not be disappointed.



by:

absolutely easiestThe hardest part of this procedure was loosening up the bolts. All down hill from there. I slid hitch under exhaust bracket 1st because it helped hold it in place. Perfect allignment. Loved doing this one.



by:

Product fits perfectly with the most unobtrusive aesthetic available and simple installation. Service lived up to all the great reviews, I would not hesitate to recommend them or do business with them again; when everyone else is this good we won't have stores anymore.



by:

Insallation was easyReceived e-mail confirmation that item was shipped. On day that was to arrive I lowered exhaust and had everything ready for install.(15 min.) Wife said I should not count my chickens before they are hatched. Then the UPS driver arrived, I said they just did. Took all of another 15 min. Looks great almost have to look for it without the drawbar installed. Quick shipping! Thanks for the great service.

  • Comparing Receiver Location Between Curt And Draw-Tite On 2006 Volvo XC70
    Since the Curt # C12318 and Draw-Tite # 36297 trailer hitches attach to the same place on your 2006 Volvo XC70, the receivers will be very similar. They will measures approximately 4 inches form the center of the hitch pin hole to the back edge of the bumper. I recommend the Draw-Tite # 36297 hitch because it does not require a stabilizing strap like part # 18050 as the Curt hitch does. Both are Class ll hitches and have 1-1/4 inch receiver openings. If you want to let me know what...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver That Fits 2004 Volvo XC70
    I double checked just to make sure and there is not a hitch with a 2 inch receiver available for your 2004 Volvo XC70. Both hitches available for your vehicle, the Curt # C12318 and Draw-Tite # 36297 have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and are Class II rated. I do recommend the Curt due to its slightly higher 350 lb tongue weight capacity but please keep in mind this hitch is going to require the use of stabilizing straps # 18050 with all non-trailer accessories such as bike racks and cargo carriers...

  • Curt or Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch For 2005 Volvo XC70
    For all intents and purposes, both trailer hitch receivers that fit your 2005 Volvo XC70 are the same; they have the same bolt-on installation, capacities, and aesthetic on your Volvo. So the best option really is the least expensive between the two: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12318 - Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36297

  • Availability of Class 2 Hitch with 2 Inch Receiver for 2007 Volvo XC70
    The available trailer hitches for a 2007 Volvo XC70 are all class II hitches with 1-1/4 inch hitch receivers. These trailer hitches have a gross trailer weight capacity of 3,500 pounds and a tongue weight capacity of either 300 or 350 pounds. You could go with an adapter like the Brophy # HTAD which converts a 1-1/4 inch receiver to a 2 inch receiver. However, I do not recommend it because it will reduce your tongue weight capacity by half. If you decide to go with a Class II hitch,...

  • Recommended Drawbar for Volvo 2001 V70 XC
    Width usually isn't a consideration when it comes to choosing a drawbar. Folks are typically concerned about getting a drawbar that places the trailer ball at the proper height so the trailer is level when it's being towed. I'll link you to our FAQ article about ball mounts/drawbars. If by width, you're speaking of the hitch receiver size the drawbar is meat to fit into, the hitches we offer for the 2001 Volvo V70 are Class II, which use the 1-1/4 by 1-1/4 receiver (inside dimension of...

  • Locating Factory Weldnuts on 2003 Volvo V70 to Install Curt Trailer Hitch # C12318
    On your 2003 Volvo V70 there should be 3 factory weldnuts on each side of the frame to which the Curt Trailer Hitch # C12318 you referenced gets bolted. With that being said the factory tow bracket on the passenger side, which needs to be removed during installation, may be blocking one of these. It's also possible that the factory weldnut has enough road grime and debris built up on your Volvo that it's difficult to see during a quick inspection. You might try and clean the frame rails...

    The Draw-Tite Class II hitch, part # 36297 installs using existing hardware on the 2006 Volvo XC70. On the driver's side frame rail, the exhaust hanger bracket would be removed and the hitch would install using the two bolts that hold the bracket in place. The hitch mounting flange is sandwiched between the exhaust bracket and the frame. On the passenger side, the 2 bolts that hold the tow hook to the frame are used to attach the hitch. The tow hook is not reinstalled. The nuts needed are...

    All of the available trailer hitches for a 2004 Volvo XC70 are class II hitches with a gross trailer weight capacity of 3,500 pounds and a tongue weight capacity of 300 pounds. If the combined weight of your horse and trailer (loaded and ready to tow) is less than these limits you could certainly tow with your Volvo. If that ends up being the case, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitch # 36297 because it will well for both towing a bike racks. The Curt trailer hitch for your...

    The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36297 is a Class II, 1-1/4" receiver that fits your 2002 Volvo V70 XC. Currently there are no Class III 2" Receivers for your Volvo. This receiver has a maximum tongue weight rating of 300lbs and towing capacity of 3,500lbs. Be sure that you do not exceed the maximum rating given from Volvo for your V70 XC.

    For your 2001 Volvo V70 we only have Class II hitches like the Draw Tite part # 36297 which is a Class II hitch. There are no Class III, 2 inch hitches that fit your vehicle and the part number you mentioned is not one that we carry or have any info on.

  • Trailer Wiring Harness and Other Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 2007 Volvo XC70
    The 119176KIT was discontinued some time ago and has been replaced with the # C59496. This kit will also work with your 2007 Volvo XC70. Unfortunately, we don't have a video of us installing it on your exact vehicle but it's the same basic process for any since it's a universal harness. It also installs similarly to the 119176KIT you saw the YouTube video on. If you don't already have a trailer hitch receiver on the Volvo I recommend the Draw-Tite # 36297.

    Since you'll be using the hitch for towing purposes, I'd recommend you go with the Draw-Tite # 36297. The hitch does indeed include all necessary installation hardware. In addition to the hitch, you will need a ball mount like # 36051. You'll also need a trailer wiring harness like part # C59496 and a trailer ball like part # 19257 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or # 19258 for a 2 inch size. The coupler on your trailer will have the correct ball size stamped into the metal of its coupler. I'm...

  • What is the Distance from the Ground to Top of the Ball on a 2006 Volvo XC70
    I do have some measurements using Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 36297. On a vehicle we installed hitch # 36297 on, the hitch measured 11 inches from the ground to the top of the receiver. Keep in mind this is not the same model vehicle and there are bound to be differences in ride height so these measurements should serve as a general guide. Then, when using the correct ball mount, # 36061, as indicated by the hitch manufacturer in the proper rise position, add another 3-1/8 inches to that...

  • Trunk and Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2002 Volvo V70
    If you are new to installing trunk mount bike racks it certainly can seem very difficult. It is actually easier on some vehicles than on others. I have a hatch back and use the Thule OutWay # TH45JV . It is the easiest trunk mount rack to install on the planet. The OutWay uses only 2 rubber coated straps instead of the 6 straps of other carriers. One person can easily install this rack. I have included a video to show you how it works.

  • Recommended Bike Rack for 2005 Volvo S60
    There is definitely a bike rack that will work for you, but the first thing you'll need is a hitch if you do not already have one. I recommend the Draw-Tite # 36297, which is a Class II hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver that is confirmed to fit your 2005 Volvo S60. For a 2-bike platform rack that will work with a women's titanium bike and lightweight electric bike I strongly recommend the Kuat NV 2.0 # NV12B.

  • Trailer Hitch & 4-Bike Rack for 2007 Volvo V-70 R Wagon
    Draw-Tite Class II hitch # 36297 is indeed a correct fit for your 2007 Volvo V-70. This and other hitch options for your V-70 wagon can be seen on the linked page. They all fit all models of the V-70. Since you intend to use a hitch-mount bike rack I suggest you instead choose the Curt hitch # C12318 since it has a higher tongue weight (TW) rating of 350-lbs versus the others' 300-lbs. You cannot have too much safety margin. You will need to use a support strap # 18050 to help stabilize...

    I checked with my technical contact at Curt Manufacturing, a prominent maker of trailer hitches, regarding your question about the dual exhausts on your 2004 Volvo S60R interfering with hitch installation. He confirmed that the dual exhausts will not cause any issues with installation of their 1-1/4-inch Class II trailer hitch # C12318. Since the Draw-Tite hitch # 36297 that you referenced is pretty much identical to the Curt it too should bolt up without any issues related to the exhausts. At...

    The Curt trailer hitch # C12318 and Swagman bike rack # S64650 are compatible with each other and your 2005 Volvo V70. But with the Curt hitch, Curt requires the use of a stabilization strap, # 18050, for any non-trailer load such as a bike rack. The platform style rack would be difficult to use with the strap. For a hitch that does not require the strap use Draw-Tite hitch # 36297. I have linked a video showing installation on a similar vehicle. The Swagman XC bike rack is a basic platform...

  • Hitch and Cargo Carrier for 2001 Volvo V70
    As long as you have a trailer hitch installed on your 2001 Volvo V70 like the Draw Tite part # 36297 you can use a cargo carrier like the part # 63155 which could carry a snow blower potentially. The hitch has a 300 lb tongue weight capacity, the carrier weighs 39 lbs which leaves you with 261 lbs of capacity left over for the weight of the snow blower. The inside dimensions of the cargo tray are then 47-7/8" long x 20" wide x 5-1/2" tall.

If you click the provided links, you can see the bike racks and cargo carriers available that are compatible with a Class II hitch. For a cargo carrier, I'd go with the Pro Series 20x47 Cargo Carrier # 63155. The # 70647 hitch you mentioned would not be a fit for your Volvo wagon.
