Can I Tow w/ the 2" Receiver on a Stealth Hitch for a 2021 Volvo XC90 Recharge?

Question:

I will be towing a small travel trailer ~2000lb that has a 1 7/8 coupler. Can I use the 2foot receiver to tow instead of the included ball mount? I also want to make sure that the trailer tows level so the 2inch receiver would allow me to adjust the rise as the ball mount that it comes with does not have an adjustable rise.

No, sorry you can not. The 2" receiver that comes with the Stealth Hitches item # SH27FRT can only be used for accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers. It's only been built to withstand the vertical force put it on by accessories.

You'll have to use the included ball mount to tow. There's no other options or any way to do any height adjustments with the hitch.

The Stealth Hitches item # SH27FRT has been confirmed to fit the 2021 Volvo XC90 Recharge. I have linked an installation video below so you can see how to get this hitch set up.
