For your 2016 Volvo XC90 you can use Curt trailer hitch # C13233. This is a Class III trailer hitch with a 2 inch receiver. It is rated for 900 pounds tongue weight and 6,000 pounds gross trailer weight. Be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for the XC90 capacity and go by the lowest rating.

If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

And for trailer wiring you can use # C56285 to add a 4-Way flat connector at the back of the vehicle.
