For this issue, I recommend the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HTAD. From the pinhole to the end of the part that is inserted into the hitch receiver is just under 1-1/2 inches. We have had other customers with 2021 Volvo XC60s confirmed that the length issue was bypassed by this receiver. In order to know if it will work for sure with your hitch receiver, I recommend that you insert a tape measure into the hitch receiver and measure the length from the backstop to the pinhole. If it is less than or equal to 1-1/2 inches the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HTAD will work. The adapter includes a powder coated black finish that resists rust and corrosion. If you are in need of a hitch pin, I recommend the Curt Hitch Pin and Clip for 1-1/4" Hitches - 1/2" Diameter x 2-1/2" Span # F-4.

I can get you setup to tow your travel trailer with your 2018 Volvo XC60. The answer to your first question is no, you cannot use a hitch receiver adapter to tow. I did check your owner's manual and your vehicle is rated to tow up to 3,500 lbs…

It looks like the factory hitch for a 2023 Volvo XC60 is a class II 1-1/4". You can use the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Hitch item #e43YR to convert it to a 2" hitch. Please be advised that using any adapter will…

Answer 12

The Swagman Upright #S64720 is not what I would recommend to anyone as my first choice for a roof bike rack as it honestly feels a little flimsy which doesn't instill a lot of confidence. Now with that said we don't know of any customers who…
