  • Extra Long Weight Distribution Hitch to Tow Travel Trailer with Truck's Tail Gate Down
  • Using a standard hitch extender isn't going to be your best option because they will reduce the weight capacity of your hitch and you'll have trouble finding one long enough that is rated high enough for your 7,000 pounds travel trailer. A better option is an extra long shank of your weight distribution system. The Equal-I-zer Weight Distribution Shank # EQ90-02-4600 is 18 inches long and will provide either 8 inches of rise or 4 inches of drop. The hole spacing is 1-1/4 inches which...

  • Are There Bike Rack Limits for Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch that Fits 2020 Volvo XC90
  • When you have the hitch accessory opening installed on the Stealth Hitch part # SH27FRT for your 2020 Volvo XC90 you really can use any bike rack designed for a 2 inch hitch. The tongue weight capacity of this would easily handle the weight as it's rated for up to 600 lbs tongue weight. There really isn't a downside to this setup as you get a very high quality hitch setup with plenty of capacity that can be totally hidden when not in use.

  • Recommended Hidden Hitch for a 2023 Volvo XC60
  • I would be happy to! The main difference between those two is that you can tow with the Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite item # DT82GR. The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver item # SH87FR is only capable of being used for accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier. As far as the tongue weight capacity goes you're going to be limited to the ability of your 2023 Volvo XC60. I took a look at your owner's manual and your Volvo tops out at a 350 lbs maximum tongue weight. This is common amongst...

  • What is the Best HItch for a 2019 Volvo XC90?
  • Yes, we do! The best one is going to be the Curt Hitch item # C53HR. This hitch is custom fit for your 2019 Volvo XC90 and bolts to it with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver which means it will be compatible with most bike racks on the market. The reason the Curt item # C53HR is the best hitch for your Volvo is because the crosstube mounts behind your rear bumper leaving only the 2" receiver exposed. This not only looks better but helps with ground clearance...

  • Why Can't Draw Tite Hitch 76194 be Used with Weight Distribution
  • The reason the Draw Tite hitch part # 76194 can't be used with a weight distribution system is due to how it attaches to the vehicle. What we have found is that if it attaches along the bottom of the frame rails it can be used with a WD system, assuming the vehicle can handle it, but if it attaches to the back of the frame like this hitch it cannot be used with a WD. It just puts too much torque on a portion of the frame that is smaller so it can't handle the stress.

  • Trimming Questions About Installing a Hitch on a 2024 Volvo XC60
  • To install the Draw-Tite item # 76194 hitch on a 2024 Volvo XC60 you'll need to cut out a 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" rectangular section off your Volvo's fascia that faces the ground. It's just a thin piece of plastic that extends past your bumper underneath the SUV. Trimming this piece allows the 2" receiver and the safety chain loops to extend below the vehicle and bumper. The only way you will ever see the hole that needs to be cut out is if you lie underneath your Volvo and look up. The Draw-Tite...

  • Recommended 7-Way Harness for a 2023 Volvo XC90
  • To install a 7-Way harness on your 2023 Volvo XC90, you will need two separate wiring harnesses because they don't make just one that'll do the job. The first harness you'll need is the Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C59236. This is a universal harness that has to be spliced into existing wiring. There is no custom fit option. It will provide you with a 4-flat connector. The second harness you will need is the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller item # ETBC7. The...

  • Recommended Stealth Hitch for a 2023 Volvo XC90
  • Yes, you can but you would need the Towing Kit w/ Ball Mount item # SH36FR. The 2" receiver that is included with the Stealth Hitches item # SH27FR can only be used for accessories like a bike rack. A better option for your 2023 Volvo XC90 is to install the Stealth Hitches item # SH27FRT. This is the same hitch as item # SH27FR but includes the necessary wiring harness and ball mount kit to tow with. Most uhaul trailers have a 4-flat connector so you will also need the Pollak 7 Pole...

  • What Are the Dimensions of Thule Replacement U-Bolt, # TH02943
  • I went out to the warehouse and measured a Replacement U-Bolt, # TH02943. The center to center distance between each end of the u-bolt is 4 inches. It is 2 inches deep in the center. The cross bars on your Volvo XC90 would have to be smaller than those dimensions in order for these u-bolts to fit. The Car-Go cargo box is not made anymore so I cannot test this u-bolt with the knobs it used. But I can tell you that this u-bolt uses an M6 (6mm) knob like # 753-0783.

  • How Much Does Adding Curt Trailer Hitch Reduce Ground Clearance on a 2016 Volvo XC90
  • Take a look of the picture I have included showing Curt trailer hitch # C13233 installed on a 2016 Volvo XC90. If you measure from the bottom of the piece pointed out in the picture down about 4-1/2 inches that is approximately where the bottom of the hitch will be after it is installed. That will give you a good idea of the approximate hitch location and thus the amount of ground clearance. I have driven extensively through New Orleans and there are some rough roads due to the flooding...

  • Recommended Crossbars for a 2023 Volvo XC90 w/ Raised Side Rails
  • Yes, there is an option to add just a set of crossbars to your 2023 Volvo XC90 that don't extend past your raised roof rails. I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex StealthBar Roof Rack item # JA7971. This aero bar roof rack system has a 176 lbs capacity. The included locks will help to prevent theft and the rubberized vortex strips in the top channels dramatically reduce drag and wind noise. I have attached a picture below along with the instructions so you can see what these crossbars look...

  • Will The SportRack Replacement Kit SR05587 Fit My Roof Box?
  • I went and measured the hinge and mounting plate for the SportRack Replacement Hardware Kit # SR05587 and made a diagram for you to check out. As there were a few measurements listed on it, it seemed the better way to get them to you than typing them out. Pictures make it much more clear. If this ends up not being an exact fit for your box, you best option will be to modify how said box mounts to your roof rack. Not having a brand or model will make it rather difficult to locate exact...
