Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Volvo XC90 (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 350 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 5,000 lbs. WD and 500 lbs. WDTW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.
If your vehicle is not equipped with wiring for towing a trailer, CURT custom wiring is the ideal solution. A custom wiring harness -- also called a T-connector -- is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that plugs into your automotive electric system and provides a standard, universal trailer wiring connection. This is done using two or more vehicle-specific, OEM-compatible connectors to plug into the taillight assembly, eliminating the need for cutting, splicing and soldering during installation. Custom wiring harnesses are made vehicle-specific, and while they are not available for all vehicles, they do offer one of the fastest, easiest and most secure ways to wire a vehicle for towing. This particular plug-in harness provides a 4-way flat connector socket and is designed to be a custom wiring harness to fit certain years of the Volvo XC90 (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary wiring components to establish a reliable trailer wiring connection, as well as a dust cover to keep the connector clean when not in use. You have a picture in mind of your next destination -- maybe it's the boat landing at your favorite fishing spot, maybe it's a campsite that overlooks one of nature's masterpieces, or maybe it's the next big jobsite. However, turning that picture into a reality takes more than just daydreaming. It takes a solid connection and the right amount of power. CURT custom wiring is made with some of the most sophisticated technology in the industry and is designed to install with ease, giving you a long-lasting electrical connection for your towing hitch setup.

The hitch weight is 30 lbs.
No, drilling is not required. The hitch uses existing weld nuts in the frame rails for mounting.
Yes, fascia trimming is required. You must trim the fascia to fit the hitch under the vehicle. The manual provides a trim diagram showing the receiver tube centerline is 5 1/8" from the existing bumper, with a 3/8" clearance specification. Trim the fascia according to the diagram provided in the installation instructions.
Yes, you must lower the spare tire before installation to ease the hitch installation process.
The kit includes 2 conical tooth washers (part number 30-00149) and 2 M12×1.75×40 class 10.9 hex head cap screws (part number 10-10386). You will also reuse existing M12 fasteners from the tie-down bracket and exhaust hanger bracket that are removed during installation.
1. Temporarily remove the existing M12 fasteners securing the tie-down bracket (passenger side frame rail) and the rearmost exhaust hanger bracket (driver's side frame rail); retain these fasteners. 2. Lower the spare tire. 3. Loosely position the hitch under the car, aligning the slots with the three 12mm weld nuts in each frame rail. 4. Trim the fascia as shown in the diagram. 5. Replace the exhaust hanger bracket under the driver side plate of the hitch. 6. Mount the hitch using the removed fasteners and the provided M12 bolts and conical tooth washers. 7. Torque all M12 fasteners to 79 lb.-ft.
All M12 fasteners must be torqued to 79 lb.-ft.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This routine inspection helps maintain safe operation and prevent loosening of critical fasteners.
Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The manual emphasizes this as a critical safety requirement. For specific capacity information, consult your Volvo XC90 owner's manual or contact Curt Technical Support at 1-877-287-8634.

You must remove the rear cargo door, floor trim, and access panels on each side of the vehicle to access the taillight wiring harness and power cable stud.
The taillight wiring harness is located inside the access panel area on the driver's side. You will find a matching harness on the passenger side. Both must be accessed after removing the floor trim and access panels.
Separate the taillight wiring connectors on both the driver's and passenger sides, being careful not to damage the locking tabs. Insert the T-Connector end with the yellow wire between the separated connectors on the driver's side, ensuring the locking tabs are in place. Repeat this process on the passenger side.
Route the T-Connector end with the green wire through the trim panel access hole, along the threshold, and through the trim panel access hole on the opposite side. Repeat this routing on the passenger side.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle's frame. If no suitable point exists, drill a 3/32" hole and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided in the kit.
Drilling is required only if a suitable grounding point does not already exist near the connector. If needed, drill a 3/32" hole and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided. Always verify that no hidden items are behind or under any surface before drilling to avoid damage and personal injury.
Locate the vehicle's power cable stud on the driver's side. Remove the nut using a wrench or socket. Place the T-Connector's yellow ring terminal on the end of the fuse holder on the stud.
Adhere the black converter box to the frame of the vehicle using the double-sided tape provided in the kit.
Secure any loose parts of the T-Connector with the cable ties provided in the kit.
When in use, route the 4-flat wire to the center of the vehicle and out of the hatch. When not in use, roll up the wire and store it in an out-of-the-way location in the trunk.
Yes, you must replace all items removed during installation, including the rear cargo door, floor trim, and access panels.
You will need a wrench or socket to remove the nut from the vehicle's power cable stud. A drill with a 3/32" bit is required only if you need to create a grounding hole. The kit includes cable ties, an eyelet, a screw, and double-sided tape.
Before drilling, verify that no miscellaneous items are hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
When separating the taillight wiring connectors, be careful not to damage the locking tabs, as these must remain intact to secure the T-Connector.
