The correct hitch for carrying a bike rack with your 2006 Volvo XC90 would be the Curt Hitch part # 13559. The reason it is called a trailer hitch is because this product was initially designed for people to tow trailers with their tow vehicles. Later people came up with ways to use the hitch to carry bikes using bike racks designed for the hitches. So this hitch would be exactly what you need.

The most popular bike rack we offer that would work well for you would be the Swagman XTC-2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This is a great rack at a great price. Check out the review video I attached.
