Question:

How do you mount a hitch on a Volvo XC60? There is nothing threaded on the frame, just some holes. I bought one from you for an XC90, but I dont remember if the frame was threaded for the bolts. I need to do this soon. Thanks

Expert Reply:

The Draw-Tite Class III Receiver you mentioned, part # 75671 is a fit for 2010-2017 Volvo XC60 models.

Instead of the weld nuts used in the XC90, the XC60 will have holes in the frame (as you have found).
To install the hitch, large block washers and carriage bolts are threaded up into the frame so that the bolts stick out of the frame members and provide an attachment point. The hitch includes a fish wire that is used to pass the block washers and bolts into the frame.

This procedure is described in the install instructions which I will link you to. I will also provide a link to an FAQ page and video demonstration of how to use the fish wire.

If you were planning on towing with your XC60, you might also need the following:

Ball Mount, part # D-4
Trailer wiring harness, part # 118739
2 inch trailer ball, # 19247
1-7/8 inch trailer ball, # 19260
Hitch Pin and Clip, # PC3
