Question:

I have a 2022 Volvo XC90 with factory installed hidden hitch. Volvo doesn’t have a 2 5/16” ball, which I need to tow an Airstream 16ft Bambi. Do you have a hitch bar that will fit the Volvo factory hitch channel that I can attach a 2 5/16” ball to? Thank you!

Expert Reply:

Your 2022 Volvo XC90's factory hitch is basically a standard 2 inch trailer hitch so for a ball mount solution that will allow you to use a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball you'd want the Curt # C45030 and then for a hitch ball the part # C40005.

I have the same concern and want to tow a Winnebago Micro Minnie. Before I purchased the above recommended items for my similar car (2023 Volvo XC90 with factory hidden hitch). The current tow position of the 2" factory ball appears to sit low if it were to match up to the Micro Minnie trailer. Would this curt # C45030 receiver sit to low for the trailer position? Would I need one with a rise or a ball with an extension? The Volvo towing capacity is 5000lbs with a 500lb tongue weight. Dry weight of the Minnie is 3760 with a tounge weight of 390. Would raising the hitch be necessary and if so, would it exceed the weight limitations?

@Travis Could I get you to get me the distance from the bottom of the coupler lip down to the ground and then the distance from the top of the hitch opening down to the ground? With that I can let you know what rise/drop you'd need.
