Question:

I am looking at this Draw-Tite trailer hitch for a 2012 Volvo XC60 and also looking at Thule EasyFold XT 2 E-Bike Platform Rack. The website description of the platform rack states that to use the rack, the distance from the center of the hitch pine pole to the face of the hitch must be 1-1/2 inches or greater. I cannot find this distance in the websites description of this Draw-Tite hitch. Will this Draw-Tite hitch work with this platform rack?

Expert Reply:

The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75671 will definitely be able to fit with the Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202 on your 2012 Volvo XC60! Pretty much any aftermarket hitch will fit that criteria.

Most OEM hitches will be okay with that dimension but there have been enough issues with the receiver tube not being long enough that we (and Thule) have felt it necessary to put that disclaimer out there just to be on the safe side.

Attached is an installation video of the Draw-Tite hitch on a 2012 XC60 as well as a review video of the EasyFolt XT for you to check out if you haven't already.
