No one wants an ugly piece of metal hanging off the back of their vehicle. This hidden trailer hitch keeps everything tucked away behind the bumper so there’s nothing visible when you’re not towing. The cross tube is concealed, and both the ball mount and the 2" receiver detach without tools. When you’re done hauling, remove the attachment and pop in the included hitch plug to keep things protected and out of sight. You keep a clean, from-the-factory look while still having full towing and accessory options ready to go when you need them.
You don’t need tools or extra hardware to switch from towing a small trailer to carrying bikes or cargo. The stainless steel center block on this hitch uses tight-tolerance latching that snaps attachments securely into place. Install or remove the ball mount or receiver attachment in seconds—just pop it in until it latches, lock it, and you’re ready to roll. The integrated lock adds extra theft protection, and you can stow your attachments safely when they’re not in use.
This hitch isn’t just about looks—it’s rated for 6,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 600 lbs tongue weight. The stainless steel build resists corrosion, and the black powder coat finish adds another layer of rust protection. Tight manufacturing tolerances keep everything steady so there’s no jarring movement when starting or stopping. It meets SAE J684 towing safety regulations, giving you confidence every time you tow or haul gear.
Installing this hitch doesn’t require power tools or special equipment. It bolts directly to existing connection points, protecting your vehicle’s crumple zones while maintaining ground clearance and foot-activated trunk sensors. The included 7-way connector mounts beneath the hitch for powering trailer signal lights through a direct battery connection. Once programmed for lighting function, you’ve got a complete towing setup ready for travel or weekend projects.

Fits like a glove and install was easier than expected.
Just a quick update - here's what worked (or will as soon as I get the Volvo factory module programmed):
This writeup is for the Stealth hitch #SH87FRT, installed with the Curt Echo #C79DR
The existing Stealth cable for Volvo SPA chassis (like the 2017+ XC60) is designed for a 'clean install' on non-trailer brake installations.
The Curt Echo model #C51180 _will not work_, since it would cause the 7pin trailer connector to protrude to nearly ground level.
The Curt Echo #C79DR can be used, but requires the supplied Stealth cable to be modified to add USCAR 7 pin connectors connect to the Echo controller.
Using an USCAR extension cable (like this one from online store), cut the cable approximately in half. (NB - I'm sure y'all can supply)
Strip back the ends of all wires on the extension cable, and attach butt splice connectors to the newly stripped leads.
Unwrap the cloth tape from the Stealth supplied cable, approximately 8-10" from the large Volvo plug, and find the loose end of the blue wire.
Cut approx 6" from the blue wire.
Cut all 6 wires remaining in the Stealth cable.
Strip the ends of all 6 wires, plus the blue wire end.
Splice the wires from the MALE extension cable to the Volvo module end of the Stealth cable. Follow the color coding except: a)there is no blue wire coming from the module, so that will remain unused. b)the purple wire will match with the red wire in the extension cable.
Repeat for the Female side of the extension cable. There is now a match for the blue wire, so all 7 pins will be used.
Plug the USCAR connectors into the respective connectors on the Curt Echo controller cable, and connect the cable to the control module.
Attach the control module as per the Echo installation instructions.
Very pleased with the Stealth Hitch for my 2020 Volvo XV60 from etrailer -- delivered in a timely fashion and very precise fit and quality construction of the hitch. Installation instructions were precise and easy to follow (for my "shade tree mechanic" skill level)
