The best hitch for your 2008 Volvo XC70 is the Draw Tite part # 75916 which is mostly hidden and has the best towing capacities. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
Then for trailer wiring you'd want the part # 118774 which is the most reliable and the easiest to install.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in 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 include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
