All Hardware and Installation Instructions Included!
Whatever the next checkpoint is on your adventure -- whether it's getting your bike on the trail before sunrise or making it to the campground before dark -- CURT class 2 hitches let you Bring It with confidence. These receiver hitches are made to handle most light-duty towing applications and offer a custom fit for your vehicle. Typically used on full-size cars, crossovers, compact SUVs, minivans or even compact pickup trucks, a CURT class 2 trailer hitch complements the design of smaller vehicles. This particular class 2 hitch is made to be a custom hitch for certain years of the Volvo S60, V60, V60 Cross Country, V70 and XC70 (to verify vehicle compatibility, see application info). It offers a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 350 lbs. TW. Class 2 trailer hitches can typically be used to tow a variety of lightweight trailers, such as a small utility trailer, small fishing boat trailer or popup camper (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component). They are also perfect for adding cargo space to your vehicle with a bike rack or cargo carrier. This class 2 hitch features a 1-1/4" receiver tube to accept a ball mount shank or other hitch-mounted accessory. For safety, it is tested in accordance with SAE J684. A custom trailer hitch design requires extra care, and as such, CURT class 2 hitches are engineered using real vehicles and hands-on research. We use high-strength steel, robotic welding and rigorous testing to produce hitches that are built to fit your lifestyle. To ensure that each hitch will be a reliable extension of your vehicle, we also finish our hitches in a co-curing of liquid A-coat and black powder coat, giving them long-lasting rust and wear resistance.
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 XC70 (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.

Yes, but all non-trailer loads (wheel-less loads) applied to this hitch must be supported by CURT 18050 stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads with these straps will void the product warranty.
No, drilling is not required. The hitch uses existing factory weld nut holes on the Volvo bumper beam. You may need to clean out the six weld nut holes before installation.
Yes, trimming a 2" by 2.5" notch in the lower bumper fascia is required. Using a rotary tool, carefully cut out the bottom center of the fascia to the dimensions shown in Figure 1. Trim dimensions are approximate; confirm fit before trimming. Heat shield trimming may also be required for clearance around the receiver tube.
Required tools are: T20 and T25 Torx drivers, 8mm, 10mm, 13mm, 14mm, and 17mm sockets, 6" socket extension, ratchet, torque wrench, and rotary tool. Safety glasses must be worn at all times during installation.
Two people are recommended to ease installation, particularly for removing the rear bumper fascia to prevent scratches or damage to the vehicle.
On V70 and XC70 models, the towing eye must be loosened (not fully removed) to allow bumper beam removal. On S60 and V60 models, the towing eye may require removal depending on the specific vehicle configuration. The hitch is then sandwiched between the bumper beam and towing eye during reinstallation.
The kit includes 6 M10x1.5 hex head cap screws (HHCS) at 45mm length, class 10.9 (part 10-10414), 6 conical tooth washers 7/16" (part 30-00163), 2 round hole spacers 0.375" x 1.25" x 2.00" (part CM-SP56), and 2 flat 0.375" spacers (part 12066-SP).
All M10 fasteners must be torqued to 45 lb-ft. This includes the hitch mounting bolts and the towing eye bolts on V70 and XC70 models.
Use the supplied spacer plates if the mounting surface on the Volvo has raised edges around the perimeter and center holes. The Volvo S60 has spot welded plates with this configuration. The spacers are installed between the hitch and bumper beam to ensure proper alignment.
1. Remove rear bumper fascia and disconnect backup sensor if present. 2. Loosen towing eye (V70/XC70 only). 3. Remove bumper beam. 4. Place hitch into bumper beam aligning holes. 5.
