Perfect for light-duty towing, this custom, vehicle trailer hitch receiver features fully welded, gloss powder coated steel construction. Drawbar sold separately.Good quality product, Came with all necessary installation hardware. Installation instructions and on-line videos were helpful. Installed on 2011 Volvo, perfect fit, no extra drilling, everything lined up with existing holes.
Easy install on my Volvo V50, great service from e-trailer. Nice low-profile look.
Hitch arrived when promised. Fit like a glove. The instructions on removing the muffler support was very helpful. Do try to raise the rear of the car. I did only about six inches and it helped a lot. Also, when you bend the tie-down tabs down for hitch clearance, either break them off or make sure you give yourself clearance for your socket. I had to use an open-ended wrench on one side. Finally, I chose this hitch because the crossbar is behind the plastic spoiler - you can’t see it at all. All you see is the receiver.
Was fairly easy to install for two people with moderate mechanical experience, fits perfectly with no drilling. Solid construction. Be aware that if you have an S40 with the dynamic trim package it will not quite clear the rear valance, you could cut away part of it, but I opted to simply bend it up out of the way when using the hitch.
Install took a little over an hour. It does take some futzing to get the hitch up where it needs to go. I found it easier to bend the exhaust hanger tabs by taking the bracket off the car.
In the end everything lined up (it sure was close!). It was easy to torque the M8 bolts to spec, but getting the 1/2" ones to 110ft/lb without having the car raised up much was not possible, I just couldn't get the leverage. I'll need to go back and do that later.
1 year later and no complaints. And installation directions and hardware/brackets/etc. were all good.
Arrived in good condition and fit great. Installation is more difficult when doing it yourself. An extra set of hands would be nice getting everything lined up, but that is not a fault of the product.
Exact fit. Easy install. Product has been great.
Very fast shipping and phone service was very good.
Awesome Hitches.

After more than a year of use, holding up great. Still love the look and its a solid product. No sign of rust yet which is a big deal in Maine.
