  • Parts Needed to Add 7 Way Connector to 2019 Volvo XC90
  • You can use absolutely any wiring harness with your Curt Hitch # C53HR since they're not tied together in any manner; Stealth hitches just give you an entire package and the big draw of those is that they're designed to only be seen when you're towing, which is quite important to some vehicle owners. With that said, in order to add a 7-way connector, you'll need to start with a 4 way since that gives you the base connections needed for a 7 way. To add a 4 way I recommend using the Tekonsha...

  • Weight Distribution System For Small 2,000 Pound Trailer
  • Just to be accurate, when referring to tongue weight, it is the tongue weight of your loaded trailer plus the weight of the cargo that sits behind the rear axle of your vehicle. When measuring trailer TW the best way is to use a tongue weight scale # e99044, TW is typically about 10 to 15 percent of the Gross Towing Weight. I want to make sure that your 2,000lb trailer is fully loaded and the 450lb TW is accurate to ensure a safe tow and the correct recommendations are being made. If...

  • Need Replacement Wrench for Thule Crossbars
  • To my knowledge, part # 853-5269 is the only tamper-proof fastener that Thule uses on their crossbars. If the fastener on the crossbars looks like the photo shown in the product description, this would be the correct wrench. This particular bolt looks like a Torx head with a pin in the center. Thule also used a different bolt in some of their roof-top cargo baskets. This fastener looks more like a allen bolt with a pin in the center. This wrench is part # 853-5270-02. The bolt that it...

  • How To Use Two Square Direct Weld Jacks Together
  • The Square Direct Weld Jack part # TJD-12000SP-F2 can be used in tandem. The only thing you would need to do so would be a cross shaft which would be some sort of bar that attaches the two output shafts to one another. This is assuming you want both jacks to turn at the same time and not have independent operation with two handles. In regards to the cross shaft, you should be able to cut the Cross Shaft Extension Tube part # BDCS730300 to make it work.

  • Which Hitch Should I Put On My 2018 Volvo XC90
  • When it comes to which hitch you should install on your 2018 Volvo XC90 I'd recommend The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2 inch # C53HR. It does have the same similar design as The Draw-Tite 76194. The Curt # C53HR has a concealed cross tube design which will have a sleeker look when installed on your vehicle. It has a gross towing weight up to 6,000 pounds and has a gross tongue weight up to 900 pounds. I would check your vehicle's manual to see the proper towing...

  • Can the etrailer Cargo Carrier be Used to Transport Cargo When Folded Up?
  • I guess in theory you can use the 24x60 etrailer Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # e98874 folded up to carry cargo if you were to use some ratchet straps, but you'd be much better off using it folded down which is the way it was designed to be used.

  • Replacement Hitch Hardware for 2017 Volvo XC60 with Draw-Tite Hitch from Uhaul
  • I have a solution for you, and because U-Haul hitches are just Draw-Tite hitches that have been re-branded we can narrow down what you've got; however, the 75316 you've mentioned is not a hitch that has been confirmed for your 2017 XC60. With that said, the # 75671 or # 76116 are Draw-Tite hitches that are confirmed on your 2017 XC60 and it would seem that from inspecting the installation hardware that the # 76116 would be the correct one that you have since the hardware kit comes with...

  • Parts Needed To Create a 7-Pin to 7-Blade Adapter for Pulling RV Behind a Semi Truck
  • While we do carry a Pollak Trailer Connector Adapter # HM47425 which will adapt from a 7-pin on your semi to a 7-blade it will not work properly since the brake lights are separate from turn signals on your 7-pin. Instead you will need to create your own adapter using the following components. 7-Pole, Round Pin, Trailer Wiring Connector # PK11700 7-Pole, RV Blade-Style Trailer Socket # PK12-707E Tail Light Converter # HM48847 You will need some wiring for connecting the other circuits...

  • Recommended Roof Mounted Bike Rack that Can Handle a 50-lbs Bike
  • The Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # TH56BV you're looking at is actually not going to work with your Volvo XC40 Recharge, unfortunately. However thanks to your submitted pictures I was able to spot that your vehicle has a set of crossbars installed which means you could use something like the Inno Tire Hold II Roof Bike Rack # INA389 instead. This bike rack would be mounted to the roof of your Volvo via the crossbars, and has a maximum weight capacity of 50-lbs. I took a look...

  • Bike Rack Options to Carry 4 Bikes with a 2017 Volvo XC90
  • To carry 4 bikes with your 2017 Volvo XC90 you do have a few different options, but the best way to go would be to install a trailer hitch receiver and use a hitch mounted bike rack. Since the most bikes that can be carried on a trunk mount bike rack is 3, the alternative solution would be to use a trunk mount bike rack and a roof rack to carry the bikes. A hitch mount bike rack is much easier to load and can be removed quicker than a trunk mount version. For your XC90 I recommend installing...

  • Parts Needed to Add 7-Way Trailer Wiring Harness and Electric Brake Controller on a 2011 Volvo XC60
  • We can absolutely help you with what you need to install the 7-way trailer connector and brake controller in your 2011 Volvo XC60. To start with you'll need a 4-way trailer connector # 118739. This plugs in behind some paneling in the rear cargo area on both sides. Then the hot lead will need to be run to the positive of the Volvo's battery. Once you have the 4-way use our # ETBC7 kit to convert it to a 7-way. This kit also includes everything to install the brake controller. If you...

  • Stabilization Strap for Curt Trailer Hitch on a 2012 Volvo S60 and Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack
  • Some Curt brand trailer hitches will state that a stabilization strap needs to be used on non-trailer loads, such as a bike rack. The strap reduces the stress on the hitch. Curt trailer hitch # 13266 is one of these hitches. The strap in question is listed under related products on the hitch page, right hand side. It is # 18050. I have linked a video that shows how it works.

  • When installing The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles - Proportional # 90195 on your 2012 Volvo XC70 the only other part you would need would be The Wiring Kit for 2, 4, 6, and 8 Brake Electric Trailer Brake Controllers # 5506. Since you already have the 4 flat and the 4 flat/ 7 way connector on your Volvo The Wiring Kit For Brake Controllers # 5506 just gives you the rest of the kit needed to activate your brakes on your trailer.
