Expert Answers about Volvo XC90


  • Recommended Roof Rack and Rooftop Cargo Box for 2017 Volvo XC90 With Flush Mounted Rails
  • I would be happy to get you exactly what you need. To do so, I would first need to know if your 2017 Volvo XC90's roof has side rails on top that are raised or if they are flush to the roof (basically, if there is a space underneath the rails on top of your roof or not). If you can get back to me with that info I can get you exactly what you need.

  • Stealth Hitch And Towing Kit For 2024 Volvo XC90
  • Hello Geoff, thanks for reaching out. We do offer a stealth hitch and wiring package for the 2024 Volvo XC90. For that, I recommend the following: - Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit - Custom Fit - 2" # SH27FRT This comes with everything you need to pull a trailer. You get the stealth hitch and rack receiver, plus the towing kit with active harness. The hitch has a max towing capacity of 6,000 lbs so this will be plenty strong for a 2,500 lb enclosed trailer....

  • Trailer Hitch Installation For Draw-Tite 76194 On A 2016 Volvo XC90
  • Hello Bill. The Draw-Tite Class 4 Hitch # 76194 is what I recommend for the 2016 Volvo XC90. The install is a bit more on the difficult side because you do need to remove the rear bumper completely, as well as trim part of the bumper and the heat shield. Our installation video is linked below if you want to take a look and see how your feel. That said, we do offer installation services at our shop here in Wentzville MO (near St. Louis). If that is too far for you, we may have an installer...

  • Does the Oris AK41 Hitch Block the Foot Sensor on a 2021 Volvo XC90?
  • Yes, it does. The Oris AK41 Hitch with Detachable Hitch Receiver item # TS76VR only blocks it where the 2" receiver sits and you do not want to be kicking that spot anyways. The Oris AK41 Hitch with Detachable Hitch Receiver item # TS76VR is custom fit for the 2021 Volvo XC90. It is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver that has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity and a 350 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like this hitch because when you're not using it you can remove the receiver and not...

  • Will Installation of Oris Hitch on 2019 Volvo XC90 T6 Require Trimming/Interfere With Kick Sensor
  • Hi Clayborne; installation of the Oris Trailer Hitch with Detachable Hitch Receiver # TS76VR will require trimming on your 2019 Volvo XC90 T6. It will not interfere with the hands free kick sensor. The trimming is underneath the bumper for the receiver to fit so it won't be visible. See the attached photos. What will you be using the hitch for?

  • What Bike Rack do You Recommend for Transporting an E-Bike on a Truck and Travel Trailer?
  • I have a solution for you. Any time you use any adapter like the MaxxTow Hitch Adapter # MT70032, you reduce the overall weight capacity of the hitch by 50%. With that being said, that will reduce your trailer's hitch to only 65 pounds of available tongue weight. Since the OnRamp # Y36FR already weighs 39.5 pounds, that leaves only 25.5 pounds of available tongue weight on the rack. This is extremely dangerous. We unfortunately do not recommend going this route even if you plan on further...

  • Ball Mount with 2-5/16 inch Hitch Ball to Fit OEM Hitch of 2022 Volvo XC90
  • Your 2022 Volvo XC90's factory hitch is basically a standard 2 inch trailer hitch so for a ball mount solution that will allow you to use a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball you'd want the Curt # C45030 and then for a hitch ball the part # C40005.

  • Recommended Wireless Brake Controller for a 2021 Volvo XC90
  • Jess, so yeah the Tuscon # 335TSC-1000 would work but it's going to require quite a bit of wiring so when you go to switch trailers you're going to need to do a lot to transfer the unit. I'd instead recommend going with the Curt Echo # C51180 which is 100% wireless. This brake controller just plugs into your 7-way and works in conjunction with the app to provide your trailer with brakes. This would require no wiring, and can easily be moved from vehicle to vehicle.

  • Trailer Hitches that Fit 2020 Volvo XC90
  • For the 2020 Volvo XC90 we have the Curt hitch part # C53HR that you referenced as a confirmed fit as well as the really nice Stealth option part # SH27FRT. This hitch is totally invisible when not in use as the lower portion of the hitch totally removes from the rest of it. It also comes with trailer wiring and a ball mount, so it covers everything you'd need to tow a trailer.

  • Recommended Trunk Mount 3 Bike Rack for 2019 Volvo XC90
  • I checked with all of our bike rack manufacturers and the only 3-bike trunk rack option that is confirmed to fit your 2019 Volvo XC90 is the Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack, part # Y02638. For your XC90, the HangOut 3 requires that the upper and lower hooks must be installed in anchor mode. See the attached installation instructions for more details. Since this is a hanging style rack, in order to carry a bike level during transport, it must have a relatively straight top tube. Most standard...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Compatible with 2016 Volvo XC90 Spoiler
  • On your 2016 Volvo XC90 if you have a roof rack you can use the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top Trunk Bike Rack # HRF2 or # HRF2-3. I confirmed this with the manufacturer. We don't list the fit in our guide because it requires the rails for a fit. If you don't have a roof side rails then you will need to add a roof rack to your flush mounted rails to use that rack. The # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX040 are my recommendation. If you have the raised factory side rails then you don't need to add...

  • 7-Way and Brake Controller Recommendation for 2008 Volvo XC90 with 4-Way
  • Hey John, so the # ETBC7 that you referenced is the correct kit to convert your 4-way to a 7-way and wire in a brake controller so you are on the right track. So then for a brake controller I really like the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty part # RED52VR which only puts a small knob on the dash of your vehicle and uses an internal sensor to determine how hard to apply the trailer brakes.

  • Roof Rack, Basket, and Cargo Bag Recommendations for 2018 Volvo XC90
  • For your application I recommend using the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack system with the Small Inno Roof Deck Platform Rack # INA510 and the Thule Interstate Cargo Bag # TH869. I've personally installed the Inno Roof Deck Platform Rack a number of times (see attached on a 2017 Nissan Titan) and it is pretty light (28.7 lbs) plus it is very easy to install. When it comes to your Thule roof rack the parts will vary depending on if your 2018 Volvo XC90 has the raised or flush rails: Raised...

  • Is Oris Trailer Hitch for 2022 Volvo XC90 Inscription Compatible With Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack
  • Hey Brian! Your Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack # NV22G will work with the Oris Trailer Hitch with Detachable Hitch Receiver # TS76VR. This has a standard 2" receiver with a max tongue weight of 350 lbs which is more than enough for the weight of the bike rack and any bikes it can carry. Any trips planned with your bikes once you get the hitch installed?

  • Best Way to Find Brake Settings for Echo Under-Dash Controller on a Volvo XC90
  • The standard Curt Echo # C51180 does use the same technology as the Curt Echo Under-Dash # C27JR, but whenever I've heard about the pairing issue being a problem it causes settings to become erratic rather than just being a struggle to find the correct setting. You can try uninstalling and reinstalling the app to see if that makes a difference but I believe you'll see a better benefit from going into a parking lot with your Volvo XC90 and Airstream and testing out how different sensitivity...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Installation on 2016 Volvo XC90
  • For your 2016 Volvo XC90, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13233. This hitch receiver is estimated in the installation details I've attached to take a novice about 2 hours and a professional about an hour to install. It can be installed by you or by any mechanic you trust. We do not have installation locations we refer to, but can provide you with videos as well as instructions. I've attached a video on the same model year to assist. If you will be using this for a...

  • Looking To Convert Manual Awnings To Power Awning On 2005 Solanta 2726 Camper
  • Hello Rick, thanks for reaching out. We do carry awning conversion kits that should work for you. I do not have a way to look up your camper to know exactly what awning you have though. RV manufacturers just are not that specific with their online literature. The Solera 12V Electric RV Awning Conversion Kit # LC434723 you were looking at can work with most 8' extension manual awnings from most major brands like Dometic and Carefree. You must have at least 69" of unobstructed space from...
