Question:
I have a 2008 Volvo XC90 front wheel drive V6. I need a hitch for a very small drift boat. I see you sell two, both of which fit and have enough load capability. I would like to buy the one that is easier to install. Any recommendation? Thanks

Expert Reply:
When it comes to the installation, both the Curt # 13559 and etrailer # e45KR hitches for your 2008 Volvo XC90 are the exact same. I recommend going with the etrailer because it has a matte black finish that helps it blend in with black trim on your vehicle and also helps to hide any scratches that might occur from road debris.
To complete your towing setup you also need the T-One Wiring # 118411 to operate the lights on the trailer (use mounting brackets # 18144 and # C57202 to secure it to the hitch) and then I recommend checking out the Curt Towing Starter Kit # C45554 if you don't already have a ball mount.
Attached are some videos for you to check out as well.
