Trailer Hitch for 2015 V60 cross country The hitch for towing 18 ft boat

Helpful Expert Reply:

The hitch I recommend for your 2015 Volvo V60 is the Draw-Tite # 75916, because of its 400lb tongue weight and 4,000lbs towing weight.

To be able to tow a trailer you will need to run lighting to the trailer from your vehicle, for that I recommend the 4-Way # C56287 wiring harness. This harness is compatible with mid to end of year models, if you happen to have a beginning to mid year model V60 you will want to contact your local dealer for the correct wiring harness.

You will also need a ball mount and ball that will be determined by the coupler on the trailer you are towing. A great kit that works for most application is the # 989900. This includes two different rise/drop ball mounts and two sized balls as well as a pin and clip and carrying case.

To determine exactly what you need you will want to measure. I have linked a Help Article that shows you how to do this.
