Note: The included receiver attachment is only for hitch-mounted accessories and cannot be used for towing. To tow with this hitch, you must use the included ball mount attachment.
This Stealth Hitches trailer hitch includes everything you need to hook up your trailer for towing. The ball mount pops into the hitch's center block so you can attach your trailer's coupler to the hitch ball. The wiring harness lets you power your trailer's lights. And the safety chain loops let you attach your trailer's safety chains. A receiver attachment is included as well for those times you need to use a bike rack or cargo carrier instead of towing your trailer. This all-in-1 solution saves you the headache of scrambling for missing parts, so you can get on the road faster than ever.
Nothing can ruin the clean, stylish look of your vehicle like a giant piece of metal bolted beneath the bumper. Luckily, with the Stealth Hitches trailer hitch receiver, you never have to worry about messing up your vehicle's lines.
This hitch installs behind your bumper, keeping the cross tube concealed and leaving only the ball mount visible. Even better, the ball mount can be easily removed from the cross tube when it's not in use, so you won't see any trace of the hitch. This means that you can retain that clean, from-the-factory look for your ride, while still being able to tow your trailer on the next family road trip.
This hitch also comes with a removable 2" square receiver, which can be used to mount any variety of hitch accessories, like your bike rack or cargo carrier.
Both the ball mount attachment and receiver attachment can be installed and removed in seconds with no tools required. Simply pop the selected attachment's base up into the stainless steel block at the center of the hitch until it automatically latches in place.
Be sure to then press the lock on the side of the block to fully secure the attachment. When you're finished hauling, use the included key to unlock the latch. Then turn the handle on the block clockwise and remove the attachment. You can stow the attachments in a safe place like your vehicle's rear cargo area, or you can use a convenient carrying case (391CASEC - sold separately).
And when you're not using an attachment, the included hitch plug covers the center block's opening to protect the hitch's body from dirt and debris.
Your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located in your rear cargo area on the driver's and passenger's sides, plugs into the included wiring control module. Once you've made all of the necessary connections, insert the provided fuse into the in-line fuse holder.
Once installation is complete, the 7-way connector will mount beneath your hitch. A mounting bracket is included to attach the connector to your hitch.
It is recommended that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections - the plugs on your automobile and the 7-way connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.
Note: The harness included with this hitch must be programmed at a dealer before the trailer lights will work.

After a year use for my Volvo XC60 this hitch works perfect. Instal very easy, instruction aded. When not using it's hided. Thank you!!!
Just a quick update - here's what worked (or will as soon as I get the Volvo factory module programmed):
This writeup is for the Stealth hitch #SH87FRT, installed with the Curt Echo #C79DR
The existing Stealth cable for Volvo SPA chassis (like the 2017+ XC60) is designed for a 'clean install' on non-trailer brake installations.
The Curt Echo model #C51180 _will not work_, since it would cause the 7pin trailer connector to protrude to nearly ground level.
The Curt Echo #C79DR can be used, but requires the supplied Stealth cable to be modified to add USCAR 7 pin connectors connect to the Echo controller.
Using an USCAR extension cable (like this one from online store), cut the cable approximately in half. (NB - I'm sure y'all can supply)
Strip back the ends of all wires on the extension cable, and attach butt splice connectors to the newly stripped leads.
Unwrap the cloth tape from the Stealth supplied cable, approximately 8-10" from the large Volvo plug, and find the loose end of the blue wire.
Cut approx 6" from the blue wire.
Cut all 6 wires remaining in the Stealth cable.
Strip the ends of all 6 wires, plus the blue wire end.
Splice the wires from the MALE extension cable to the Volvo module end of the Stealth cable. Follow the color coding except: a)there is no blue wire coming from the module, so that will remain unused. b)the purple wire will match with the red wire in the extension cable.
Repeat for the Female side of the extension cable. There is now a match for the blue wire, so all 7 pins will be used.
Plug the USCAR connectors into the respective connectors on the Curt Echo controller cable, and connect the cable to the control module.
Attach the control module as per the Echo installation instructions.
Very pleased with the Stealth Hitch for my 2020 Volvo XV60 from etrailer -- delivered in a timely fashion and very precise fit and quality construction of the hitch. Installation instructions were precise and easy to follow (for my "shade tree mechanic" skill level)
Fits like a glove and install was easier than expected.
