Question:

Need trailer hitch and wiring for 2023 gas powered Volvo XC60. Will tow pontoon boat less than 20 miles per summer. Would prefer hidden hitch but not necessary boat/trailer weigh 3400 lbs.

Hey George, thanks for reaching out!

As long as you aren't towing more than the 3,400 lbs I recommend using the Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT82GR for your 2023 Volvo XC60 because of the completely removable hitch receiver and the 3,500 lb tow weight rating.

Then for wiring I recommend the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT because it's a universal kit that uses clamps to sense when to send power to the trailer lights as opposed to having to cut into your OEM wiring to make some connections.

I also recommend picking up the Eclipse Magnetic Mounting Bracket # 306-X6019 for a simple and easy way to keep the 4-Way wiring easily accessible next to your hitch receiver.
