Hi Nathan; the only hitch available for their 2023 Volvo V60 Cross Country is the Stealth Hitches # SH47FR which does require trimming. Is it a lease and they don't want to alter it or are they worried about how it might look? It will be completely hidden so you won't be able to tell the bumper was trimmed unless you look underneath. One way or another, this is the only option. view full answer...
Hey Paul, thanks for reaching out. That is a tough question to answer because this isn't something we would ever really test to find out. The hitch for the 2024 Volvo V60, the Stealth Hitch # SH47FR is specified by the manufacturer to only fit the 2019-2025 models of the V60. So those are the only vehicles we have ever attempted to install.
It looks like there is no hitch for the S60 so this likely means there would be issues with the way the crosstube/flanges/receiver all line up with... view full answer...
Hey Paul,
There most likely is something in the way that prevents the installation of a trailer hitch on the S models and manufacturers haven't found a workaround yet. That pretty much leaves you with only weld-on adjustable-fit trailer hitches, which would require a bit of DIY to fit. You'll need to measure down from the frame rails to the see how large of the drop you'll need for the receiver tube to stick out from the rear fascia. We offer the following drop sizes:
Draw-Tite

Hi Dan; it looks like the 2024 Volvo V60 Polestar Engineered T8 is the same as the Recharge. I'm not sure where you heard that about a hitch so I would double check that information. Typically when we get a question like this the owner's manual for the vehicle says something like "do not use this vehicle for towing." When I checked the Recharge manual online it lists a towing capacity of 2,000 lbs with brakes and a 200 lb max tongue weight. Make sure you take a look at your owner's manual... view full answer...
We do have the Stealth hitch part # SH47FR that fits your 2021 Volvo V60 AWD. This hitch is unique in that it has a removable lower hitch opening so when not in use you can remove it and it would be totally hidden. view full answer...
Hey Ken, congrats on the new SUV. I checked with Stealth Hitches and while they haven't had a chance to install their item # SH47FR hitch on a 2026 Volvo V60 Cross Country, they do agree it should fit.
The 2026 Volvo V60 Cross Country is a carry over from the previous model year so there were no changes made that would affect the fitment of the Stealth Hitches item # SH47FR. This hitch comes with the accessory receiver to use with a bike rack or cargo carrier.

Hey there Rick, there is a way to use your 1-1/4" Kuat Sherpa 2.0 # SH12G with the 2" receiver that comes with the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH47FR.
What you would need to do is simply use an adapter, the Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" # HT02.
This will go in the 2" receiver and essentially turn it into a 1-1/4" receiver. It comes with a 1-1/4" pin and clip, though you won't be using that for your Sherpa so you can disregard it. The only thing you would need is something to secure... view full answer...
Hey Jared. The RockyMounts MachTen Roof Bike Rack item # RKY97MR can only be attached to roof racks with the included clamps. It does not have the ability to be mounted in the channels on crossbars.
The Kuat Piston SR Roof Bike Rack for 1 Bike item # KU32VR is the closest comparable option that can. This bike rack can be mounted with clamps or attached directly to crossbar channels. This bike rack has a bit higher capacity at 67 lbs over the RockyMounts item # RKY97MR that tops out at... view full answer...
Yes, it will Ryan! The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver item # SH47FR has been confirmed to fit the Cross Country model of the 2025 Volvo V60. This hitch and receiver combo can only be used for hauling an accessory like a bike rack or cargo carrier. If you are wanting to tow a trailer you'll need item # SH47FRT. This comes with the necessary ball mount and wiring.
What are you looking to use the hitch for? view full answer...
Hello John, thanks for reaching out. Sounds like you are on the right track. The Stealth Hitch # SH47FRT is the correct fit for your 2025 Volvo V60 wagon plug-in hybrid. This hitch comes with the rack receiver, ball mount and towing kit. Everything you need to tow a trailer with your Volvo.
The wiring kit comes with a 7-way plug, so if you need to hook up a 4-flat just use the adapter part # PK12716.

Lawrence, for what is offered for your 2003 Volvo S60 (V60 doesn't exist from what I can find) you are not going to be able to tow a 4,000 lb trailer without a weight distribution system, but all of the hitches do not allow for a WDS.
You can tow up to a 3,500 lb trailer however, and to do so will need the trailer hitch # C12318, wiring harnesses # C59236 & # ETBC7, and a brake controller # 90195.
If you need help with anything else, feel free to let me know in the comments and I'd be... view full answer...
Yes you can! The Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack part # TH599000 comes with both types of hardware. There is hardware for mounting it to the track in the aero type bars and clamps for mounting to the round, square and factory type crossbars like the Yakima Round Bars part # Y00410.
Check out the video below it will show you exactly how the clamps work for mounting. view full answer...
Curt offers a Class II hitch part # C12066 and a Class III # 13266 for your 2018 Volvo V60. The big advantage the Class III (2 inch opening) has over the Class II is that more accessories are made for 2 inch hitches so you'll have an easier time fitting racks to the hitch. The advantage a Class II would have is really that the due to the smaller size it might be less visible. The brown Volvo I attached a picture of has the 2 inch hitch and the white has the 1-1/4 inch size mentioned. view full answer...
You could use an adapter like the Roadmaster # RM-070 to achieve a 4 inch rise, which would work pretty well for you. Keep in mind that using an extender/adapter like this will lower the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50% due to the fact that the adapter would move the load further away from the vehicle and exert additional leverage on the hitch and its attachment points to the vehicle. view full answer...
To answer your first question yes, the Stealth Hitches trailer hitch kits # SH47FR (for recreational use like bike racks) and # SH47FRT (for towing/recreational) fit both the standard and Cross Country versions of the 2020 Volvo V60. Stealth Hitches has confirmed this on their end.
As far as your second question goes, currently there are no hitch fits for the R-Design or the Momentum versions of the 2020 Volvo S60.
Please note that hitch fits can change over time especially with new vehicles... view full answer...
The Yakima speed knob feature use on the Yakima RidgeBack bike rack employs a wedge on the bike rack's shank that expands rearward and outward as the knob is tightened which serves to lodge the shank into the receiver tube. Will this lock provide some protection against a crime of opportunity? It sure will. A random passerby won't be able to simply grab the rack, give it a yank and walk away with it. However, if a thief is determined enough and has the tools and the lack of witnesses to... view full answer...
The Curt 2 inch hitch part # 13266 which fits your 2018 Volvo V60 has in the install tech tips that it MAY require trimming of the rear fascia to install. But the other option is to remove the rear fascia altogether and not reinstall it so that would bypass needing to trim. view full answer...
In order to use the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist part # TH898 on a 2020 Volvo V60 with flush factory side rails you will need a new complete roof rack which consists of the Crossbars part # TH711200, Mounting Feet part # TH710601, and Fit Kit part # TH186010.
Please note, I am not sure if you wanted to try and reuse the old square bars but this won't be an option unfortunately since Thule discontinued them. view full answer...
Yes, it does. I checked with Stealth Hitches and the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver item # SH47FR fits all models of the 2022 Volvo V60 including the T8 Polestar Engineered model. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Volvo with included hardware.
The item # SH47FR is only designed for using accessories like a bike rack. If you are wanting to tow a trailer you will need item # SH47FRT. This hitch includes the ball mount ball combo and wiring harness.
