Brake Controller Recommendation for 2025 Volvo XC60 with Tow Package
Updated 09/29/2025 | Published 05/08/2025
Question:
I have a Volvo 2025 xc60 with tow hitch, 7-pin connector. What do I need to buy to install Trailer Brakes? I saw on your websites some options but says xc60 without tow package. I am kinda lost on what to buy

Hey Don, to control trailer brakes with your 2025 Volvo XC60 that has the tow package you would need to have a brake controller installed. For a vehicle like yours that doesn't have a brake controller install connector under the dash I'd go with a wireless brake controller like the Tekonsha RF controller part # TK94FR which just needs to plug into an active 7-way like you have. What are you towing?
