This hidden setup keeps your vehicle looking stock when you’re not carrying gear. The cross tube sits tucked behind the bumper, and the 2" receiver detaches without tools for a fully concealed look. Pop it back in when you’re ready to load up a bike rack or cargo carrier, then remove it again to keep a smooth finish. There’s even a hitch plug to cover the opening and keep out dirt and debris.
The rack receiver connects or comes off in seconds with no tools needed. Just push the base into the stainless steel center block until it latches, then lock it in place. When you’re done hauling, unlock it, twist the handle, and pull the receiver free to store it out of sight. The integrated lock protects the attachment from theft, and the sturdy center block keeps everything secure while driving.
Made with durable stainless steel, this hitch resists corrosion and holds strong under heavy use. It’s rated for a maximum tongue weight of 600 lbs and meets SAE J684 safety regulations. The black powder coat finish adds another layer of rust protection so it stays looking good over time.
Installation is straightforward with a bolt-on design that uses existing connection points—no drilling or welding necessary. The fit protects your vehicle’s crumple zones and doesn’t interfere with ground clearance or foot-activated trunk sensors. It’s an easy way to add hitch-mounted versatility without altering how your vehicle looks or functions.

Great service and supper fast shipping. Couldn't be happier.
insallation was expensive at yhe garage I use, install yourself if you are handy and have the tools.
Still a fan of etrailer products and ease of install
Exactly what I needed.
I use it to carry a bicycle rack. When I am not using it for that, you have to get under the car to see it. It fits perfectly and is of the highest possible quality.
If I could give 4.5 stars I would. This is our 2nd stealth hitch and they are fantastic. Docking this particular hitch a half star because the fascia cutting instructions (step 28) were very hard to follow for the V90. If you made it that far in the install process, you are totally capable of making cuts and test fitting a few times but more than one oddly annotated photo would have save me a few additional cuts.
Overall a really nice rack solution and perfect for a Volvo V90. The install was moderately difficult but quite doable if you are at all handy. Only more challenging part was the block that bolts into the main bar was slightly oversized (or the bar was slightly too small) so it took some serious work with a rubber mallet to get it into the right position to put the bolts through it. (And between the good price on this hitch at etrailer and whatever the local rack retailer wanted to install it - I saved $[XX] buying it here and installing it myself - worth the effort). Oh - you do need a standard socket set and a good torque wrench and a 15/16 socket, which fortunately my neighbor had - it’s a larger size than most sets have. But even with those challenges, this is a great solution for a rear-mount bike rack on a Volvo V90. Love that it’s completely invisible when you pop out the hitch connector.
Purchased to repair a stripped bolt on my Yakima Backswing. Despite the product listing the Backswing as a compatible item, the piece did not fit. After digging and calling Yakima directly, I learned that this product works on the OLD Backswing bike rack, NOT the newer Backswing hitch adapter. Etrailer was great about returning the item, but the listing for this product could be updated to be more clear.
Perfect fit. Great instructions and pr ice!
Outstanding product, extremely well made. Does exactly what it says it will do. Blends perfectly with the car lines and trim, you don’t know theres a hitch under the bumper, it is so clean and professional. So easy to remove and install the hitch piece. Customer service is awesome too, I did my research and got a live person to help me with my decision and they were so friendly. You won’t regret buying this product, all around great experience.
Works as advertised! Well made
Decided to install the hitch myself after one installer quoted me $450 and another one quoted me $650.
Using the supplied directions, I was able to knock it out in a little under 3 hours. Getting to the 5 screws in each wheel well would be easier if you remove the rear tires I have 20 inch wheels... and getting the bunker back on is a little scary too, but I managed.
So glad to find a custom fit rack for the V90. The printed instructions coupled with the installation video really do make the installation straightforward. Install time was about 1.5 hours, with the help of a mechanically experienced brother. We followed the instructions exactly as provided, and all details needed for the install were well covered and relevant. An optional tip would be to remove the rear wheels if feasible. This speeds up access to the 5 wheel well bolts and clip on each side. We had 2 jack stands available so followed this route. Just remember to torque the lug bolts to Volvo spec, 105 ft. pounds, when re-installing the wheels. One other short cut involved installing the latch block on the hitch before reinstalling the bumper. This made access to the bolts both to tighten and fit the torque wrench much easier. Following install, the hitch looks and works great with our Kuat bike rack, plenty of clearance when exiting our steep drive way.
This is perfect, took less than 2 hours to install and it was exactly as the video had shown with the extra screw from the bumper to the fender.
One thing to note if you are not comfortable do any car work then pay someone to do this. Putting the rear bumper back on will take patience as you need to align it correctly, as 2 people is required for the removal and attaching the bumper.

Fantastic, use it for the bike rack and also for a cargo carrier on our travels. You dont have to look at the ugly receiver hanging there when not in use.
