Arrived on time, looks strong.

Good fit with minor cutting of bumper



by:

Looks great, especially with the matte finish. I was originally planning on paying a shop to install it, they quoted $200 which seemed fair but I thought I'd just do a quick google "how to" search before commiting and one of the first results was a video by etrailer. It was a very good video, straight to the point, made it seem easy, and it was! Got it installed in less than 90 minutes - $200 saved! Maybe I'll celebrate this with a good hand-tossed pizza.



by:

Installation was more straight forward than I expected. The video really helped. Pulling the plastic body pieces off was pretty scary but it all went back together just fine. As I was working alone & without a lift I used a floor jack to lift the hitch into place and put the bottom 2 bolts in loosely, then lifted the bumper by hand and put 2 bolts through both pieces loosely, and took out the bottom bolts.



by:

Received the hitch in 3 days including the wiring. Easy to install, a few misses in the instruction, but easy to figure out. Less than an hours work to install.



by:

Took about 2.5 hours to install, but it looks great! Everything is hidden except the actual receiver. Looks very clean and minimal, like it was part of the original car. Highly recommend!



by:

I called trailer to ensure I was purchasing exactly the correct hitch and was very pleased with the person I spoke with. She was pleasant, knowledgeable and assured me that this hitch would fit my car. 4 days later, the hitch arrived, well packed and imagine, all of the hardware was there too. The hitch is well built and well finished. I’m happy with my purchase.



by:

My son and I installed this over the weekend and it went off without a (insert pun here). The video we followed was great and I'll definitely be coming back as a repeat customer.



by:

OK, so you guilted me into it. Well, maybe the rainy weekend weather had something to do with it as well but anyway I finally installed the hitch and electrical wiring and everything went off with(out) a hitch (pun intended). Now why didn’t I do that at the beginning of the summer? Thanks again for giving me the push needed to get this done.



by:

Excellent fit on my 2014 Volvo S60. With a helper this project was all of an hour and a half. There are 5 fender well screws and four additional Torx screws near the muffler. We had to trim the muffler heat shield by a little bit and the bumper cutout by the dimensions shown in the instructions. The spacers were required. All went smooth and looks like factory install. Highly recommend! And etrailer shipped super fast and with great follow up.



by:

I just finished installing this hitch on my '15.5 S60 and it was about as straight-forward as I could have imagined. The only "gotcha" was that the added depth of the hitch plus spacers cause the bumper bar to just barely fit under the bumper cover, making things a little bit tight to get back together. Despite that I was able to get everything torqued down and back together in about an hour. The finished look is completely acceptable to my eye. Yes, a 2" receiver is a chunky piece of hardware to hang under the bumper but at least that's the only visible part. Having to notch the bumper cover is no big deal, either, since you can't see that without getting under the car. In my mind it's all a miniscule price to pay to add utility to my little sedan.



by:

Well made product, though looks like it was repainted after manufacture. Great price. Very easy to install on my Volvo XC70 alone. Took about 90 minutes (thanks to etrailer's YouTube video) Have used it for Yakima swing daddy 4 bike rack. Solid!



by:

I was intimated by the prospect of installing this trailer hitch on my 2015 Volvo V60 wagon- although I'm relatively handy I don't do any work on cars. After watching the video and reading through the instructions I dove in. one hour and twenty minutes later the car was completely reassembled and my hitch bike rack was ready to go!

the receiver looks great on my car, and I'm excited about the prospect of using my hitch mounted bike rack in the future.



by:

Works well. No issues!



by:

Installed the hitch this weekend on my S60. Great instructions. Everything lined up perfectly. Only took us about 50 minutes to install. Most of the time was spent fretting over pulling the bumper fascia off. Looks great on the car. Towed my trailer later in the day. Excellent!

  • Recommended Class III Hitch and 4-Way Wiring Harness for 2015 Volvo XC70
    For your 2015 Volvo XC70 I would recommend the Curt # 13266 over the Draw-Tite # 75916. These trailer hitches have an almost identical design. Although the Draw-Tite has a higher towing capacity, it looks like both of the hitches exceed the towing capacity of your vehicle so you will be limited by your vehicle. I would double check the owner's manual to make sure. Both have a concealed cross tube, so you will only see the receiver tube at the back of the vehicle giving it a factory look....

  • Comparing Class II and Class III Curt Hitch for 2018 Volvo V60
    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.

That means you will have a ground clearance of 11-3/4 inches at the hitch. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 13266 will be slightly shorter at 13-1/2 inches to the inside top of the receiver giving you 11 inches ground clearance at the hitch.

  • How Does Install of Curt Hitch on 2016 V60 Cross Country Affect Ground Clearance
    The install of the Curt hitch part # 13266 on your 2016 Volvo V60 will reduce your ground clearance by about 3 inches. The install will be identical to what you mentioned seeing in the install video on a 2015 V60 as well. The hitch option we offer that will offer the best ground clearance is the Stealth Hitch part # SH97FRT which has a lower hitch assembly that removes when not in use so that you have a totally unobstructed area.

  • Differences Between Curt Class II # C12066 and Class III # 13266 for 2015 Volvo V60
    The two hitches you mentioned are very similar. The only difference is that the # 13266 is a Class III which uses the 2 inch square receiver opening and the # C12600 is a Class II which uses the 1-1/4 inch square receiver opening. Both hitches have a 3500 lb towing capacity, but the Class III has a tongue weight capacity (maximum weight that can be suspended from hitch without damaging anything) of 350 lbs, versus 300 lbs for the Class II. The Class II hitch will have a ground clearance...

  • 2 inch Hitch for 2018 Volvo V60 that Doesn't Require Rear Fascia Trimming
    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.

  • Is Fascia Trimming Required to Install Hitch on 2017 Volvo V60
    Due to the lower fascia design of your 2017 Volvo V60 there isn't a way to install a hitch like the Curt # 13266 without trimming the rear fascia. This is very common on newer vehicles like yours. I attached a picture that I took from the install instructions that covers the trimming as well as a link to an install video that shows it as well.

  • Carrying a 231 Pound Motorcycle on a 2014 Volvo S60 with 165 Tongue Weight Capacity
    Tongue weight is the downward force put on a hitch by whatever it is carrying. When you're using a hitch for a carrier, like the cargo carrier you're getting or a bike rack, all of the weight on the hitch is tongue weight. The etrailer Motorcycle Carrier, part # e98873, weighs about 58 pounds itself. So between it and the 231 pound motorcycle combined the tongue weight you're trying to carry is about 289 pounds. If your Volvo has a 165 pound maximum tongue weight then you're way over...

  • How to Add 7-Way to 2013 Volvo XC70
    Hi Steve; the Curt # 13266 doesn't change the fitment of the bumper cover. Everything still fits as intended and looks the same once the installation is complete. The little bit of extra material doesn't impact anything in a negative way. If you don't already have a 4-way you will need to add one using the # C56386. Once you have a 4-way installed you will need the # ETBC7 you were looking at to upgrade to a 7-way.

  • 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.
