Expert Answers about Volvo XC60


  • Is the Oris Hitch a Comparable and More Affordable Option to the Stealth Hitch on a 2026 Volvo XC60?
  • It sure is Rob, and congrats on the new SUV. The Oris Trailer Hitch with Detachable Hitch Receiver item # TS76VR is definitely comparable to the Stealth Hitches item # SH87FR. It's got the same kind of removable receiver that works great with a bike rack, plus you can tow with it without having to buy a specific ball mount. The crossbar mounts in an identical way behind your Volvo's rear bumper as well. The Oris Trailer Hitch with Detachable Hitch Receiver item # TS76VR is custom fit...

  • Which Wireless Trailer Brake Controller Is Best
  • Hey Brandon, I would strongly recommend sticking with the Tekonsha RF brake controller part # TK94FR. We know this works really well and it sounds like it worked well for you too. The Curt Echo is not reliable enough for me to really ever recommend it for anyone. The Autowbrake part # 3430001 is a really solid option too but the overall feedback we've gotten is that the RF is best overall. The Curt Truu Course part # C94VV is perfectly compatible with all of the mentioned controllers.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2026 Volvo XC60 Plug-In Hybrid
  • Hey Colleen, congrats on the new SUV. To install a hitch on your 2026 Volvo XC60 Plug-In Hybrid, I recommend the Draw-Tite item # 76194. This custom fit class III hitch will bolt directly to your car with included hardware. It has a 2" receiver and a 900 lbs maximum tongue weight so it'll work great with bike racks. The Draw-Tite Hitch item # 76194, like the Curt item # C92WR that also fits your Volvo, will block the lift gate sensor right around the 2" receiver. You're not going to want...

  • What Replacement Rubber Strip do I Need for My Thule Aeroblade not Aeroblade EDGE Crtossbars?
  • Hello Jeff, Then correct replacement for your Thule Aeroblade (not the edge) is the Replacement Rubber Strip for Thule Aero Load Bars 53" # TH853354407. The Replacement Cover Strip with Pattern for Thule AeroBlade Edge Cross Bars - 59" Long # TH69JH is designed for the Edge, so it will not sit in the channel correctly. What do you mainly use your roof rack for?

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2018 Volvo XC60
  • We sure do! For your 2018 Volvo XC60 I recommend the Stealth Hitch # SH87FR if you mainly intend to use it for a bike rack or a cargo carrier. If you intend to tow with your Volvo, then I recommend the # SH87FRT which is the same hitch, but also comes with everything that you need for towing a trailer. You will also want to verify the towing limits of your vehicle by checking your copy of the owner's manual. You will just need to follow whichever limit is lower, the vehicle's or the...

  • Recommended Stealth Hitch for a 2018 Volvo XC60
  • Hey Mauricio. The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver item # SH87FR will not set off any sensors without your bike rack attached. You'll want to disable them if possible when you use your bike rack because it does block them. This is a common issue with all the hitches that fit your 2018 Volvo XC60. It does not block the lift gate sensor. The lock included with the Stealth Hitches item # SH87FR, that secures the accessory ball mount, is one of thousands of combinations. There is no other...

  • Brake Controller Recommendation for 2025 Volvo XC60 with Tow Package
  • Hey Don, to control trailer brakes with your 2025 Volvo XC60 that has the tow package you would need to have a brake controller installed. For a vehicle like yours that doesn't have a brake controller install connector under the dash I'd go with a wireless brake controller like the Tekonsha RF controller part # TK94FR which just needs to plug into an active 7-way like you have. What are you towing?

  • Does Curt T-Connector C56355 Need To Be Wired Directly To The Battery?
  • Hello Randall, thanks for reaching out. The 4-pole T-Connectors like the Curt # C56355 are for brake lights, taillights and turn signals. This has nothing to do with the trailer brakes, so I am not sure what the person who left that review was referring to. Running the black wire to the battery is a necessary step. The converter module needs a direct 12v power source, and the only way to get that is to go directly to the battery. We get asked this a lot because just like you, a lot of...

  • Solution For Adding More Rise To Stealth Hitch Ball Mount
  • Hello Brian, thanks for reaching out. We do have a product that will help with this. Take a look at the following: - Ball Mount for Stealth Hitches Hidden Receiver Hitch # 391BMU7S This provides more rise than the standard ball mount that came with your hitch. This will raise the ball height to 20-1/2" when installed on a 2022 Volvo XC60. This will allow your trailer to be much closer to level. Typically, anything within 3" of level is considered safe to tow.

  • How to Remove The Oris Detachable Hitch Receiver
  • Hey Robert. There isn't a trick when removing the detachable hitch receiver. It's not super easy and there will be some resistance. I linked a video where someone demonstrates how to remove it. Its at the 2 minute mark. Is the knob not twisting at all or does it twist some but not enough to get the hitch off?

  • Can I Tow My Geo Pro 15TB Travel Trailer With My 2018 Volvo XC60
  • I can get you setup to tow your travel trailer with your 2018 Volvo XC60. The answer to your first question is no, you cannot use a hitch receiver adapter to tow. I did check your owner's manual and your vehicle is rated to tow up to 3,500 lbs with a brake controller. (3,280 lbs if you will be towing 1,000m or higher, above sea level.) As a result, you should not have any problems towing the Geo Pro 15TB travel trailer. In order to tow your travel trailer you will need a hitch and a ball...

  • Can a Weight Distribution Hitch Be Used W/ a Class I Hitch
  • Philip, you could technically tow your trailer based off of your vehicle's towing capacity and the weight of the trailer, but weight distribution hitches are only available for class III hitches or higher, so you wouldn't be able to use one with your current hitch. You'd just need a ball mount # C45147, and you'll be all set to go.

  • The best option we have for a trike carrier for your 2017 Volvo XC60 is going to be the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider Trike Carrier # HR1000Z-R-TRKADP. Platform bike racks like this are the easiest to load and unload bikes with so this platform rack that was specifically designed for carrying trikes like yours would be your best option. If you wanted to add locks to the rack you'd then also need the # HRLHPTC and you'd be set. If you don't have a hitch you'll also want one like the Draw...
