All Hardware and Installation Instructions Included!
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 XC60 (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 4,000 lbs. GTW and 400 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 4,500 lbs. WD and 450 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 XC60 (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, the Curt 13268 is designed for the Volvo XC60. The manual does not specify which model years are compatible, so contact Curt Manufacturing technical support at 877-287-8634 to confirm your specific vehicle year.
The manual specifies that when used as a weight carrying hitch, the gross load capacity is 4,000 lbs trailer weight and 400 lbs tongue weight. When used as a weight distribution hitch, the capacity is 4,500 lbs trailer weight and 450 lbs tongue weight. However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
The following tools are required: socket wrench, 11/16" socket, 13mm socket, T15 Torx socket, torque wrench, and aviation shears.
The kit includes: 6 x 7/16-14 UNC Grade 8 serrated flange nuts (20-00103), 4 x 7/16-14 UNC 1-1/2" Grade 8 carriage bolts (10-10282), 2 x 7/16-14 UNC 2" Grade 8 carriage bolts (10-10317), 2 x 7/16" fishwire, 4 x 0.250 x 1.00 x 2.50" square hole spacers (CM-SP11), 2 x 0.250 x 1.00 x 2.00" square hole spacers (CM-SP7), and 2 x 0.500 x 1.25 x 2.50" round hole spacers (CM-SP52).
No, drilling is not required. The installation notes state "NO DRILLING REQUIRED." The hitch uses existing access holes in the frame rails.
Before installation, you must: lower the exhaust by removing rubber isolators from the muffler(s), remove the exhaust hanger, and trim heat shields (one per side) to provide clearance around the hitch side plates. On 2015 and newer vehicles with dual exhaust, remove the decorative exhaust ports from the fascia using a T15 Torx socket.
Yes, heat shield trimming is required. The installation notes specifically state "HEAT SHIELD TRIMMING REQUIRED." You must trim one heat shield per side to provide clearance around the hitch side plates. This is performed in Step 3 of the installation process.
The fishwire technique is used to route carriage bolts and spacers through the frame rail access holes and out the mounting holes. The manual references a "FISHWIRE TECHNIQUE diagram" but the specific technique details are shown in that diagram. Fishwire is used in Steps 5, 8, and 10 to thread bolts and spacers through the frame rails before securing them with flange nuts.
All 7/16" hardware must be torqued to 70 lb-ft. This is applied in Step 12 after all fasteners have been hand-tightened in their positions.
The installation follows this sequence: (1) lower exhaust by removing rubber isolators, (2) remove exhaust hanger, (3) trim heat shields, (4) remove tape covering frame rail holes, (5) fishwire 1-1/2" bolts and CM-SP11 spacers through middle mounting holes, (6) raise hitch and hand-tighten with flange nuts, (7) slide CM-SP52 spacers into front mounting positions, (8) fishwire 2" bolts and CM-SP7 spacers through front holes, (9) hand-tighten front fasteners, (10) fishwire 2" bolts and CM-SP7 spacers through rear holes, (11) hand-tighten rear fasteners, (12) torque all 7/16" hardware to 70 lb-ft, (13) cover unused holes with tape strips, (14) reinstall exhaust hanger, (15) raise exhaust and reinstall rubber isolators and decorative ports.
Three types of spacers are used: CM-SP11 (0.250 x 1.00 x 2.50" square hole spacers, qty 4) are used with the middle mounting hole bolts in Step 5. CM-SP52 (0.500 x 1.25 x 2.50" round hole spacers, qty 2) are used at the front mounting holes in Step 7. CM-SP7 (0.250 x 1.00 x 2.00" square hole spacers, qty 2) are used with the front mounting hole bolts in Step 8 and rear mounting hole bolts in Step 10.
Fasteners are installed in two stages: first, all bolts and nuts are hand-tightened as they are installed in Steps 6, 9, and 11. Then, in Step 12, all 7/16" hardware is torqued to 70 lb-ft using a torque wrench.
You must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. While the Curt 13268 has a gross load capacity of 4,000 lbs trailer weight and 400 lbs tongue weight as a weight carrying hitch (or 4,500 lbs trailer and 450 lbs tongue as a weight distribution hitch), your vehicle's manufacturer specifications take precedence.
After installation, periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify a particular interval, but recommends regular inspection as part of vehicle maintenance.
The manual states to periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and structural components are sound, but does not specify a particular interval. It is recommended to check fasteners before each towing use and at regular maintenance intervals.

The Curt 56355 Custom Wiring Harness is designed for Volvo XC60 models, including the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo, 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, and standard XC60 variants. Consult your vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer to confirm your specific model year and engine configuration are compatible.
The Curt 56355 is a custom wiring harness that integrates with your Volvo XC60's taillight wiring to enable trailer lighting functions. It includes a converter box and connects to a 4-flat connector for trailer use.
You will need: ratchet, 10mm socket, flat blade screwdriver, panel trim removal tool, wire stripper, wire crimper, and cutting tool. A test light or properly wired trailer is also required to test the harness after installation.
Yes. Step 1 of the installation requires you to locate the vehicle battery on the driver side under the hood and disconnect the negative battery terminal before proceeding with any other steps.
Drilling may be required. The installation calls for a suitable grounding point near the taillight connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no suitable existing point is available, you must drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. Before drilling, check for hidden items behind or under surfaces to avoid damage and personal injury.
Signal Circuits are rated at 3.0 amps per side. Tail/Running Circuits are rated at 6.0 amps total. Do not exceed these product ratings or your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding the rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a maximum 10-amp fuse. Exceeding this rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
Follow all steps in order: (1) disconnect negative battery terminal, (2) remove trunk floor coverings, (3) remove rear scuff panel, (4) locate and separate driver side taillight connectors, (5) insert custom harness yellow wire end between connectors, (6) secure white ground wire to frame, (7) route green wire end to passenger side and repeat connector steps, (8) adhere converter box with double-sided tape, (9) route battery power wire per included CME-PCL-INS sheet, (10) route 4-flat connector and secure loose wires with cable ties, (11) reinstall removed items and reconnect battery. All steps must be followed to ensure proper function.
The harness connects to the vehicle's taillight wiring connectors located behind the side trim panels. The yellow wire end connects on the driver side and the green wire end connects on the passenger side. Both ends insert between the separated taillight connectors, with locking tabs fully engaged.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the taillight connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no suitable point exists, drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. The area must be free of rust, dirt and paint. Secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw. Before drilling, check for hidden items behind or under surfaces to avoid damage.
Locate a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight and adhere the black converter box using the provided double-sided tape.
After installation, test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer. All steps must be followed to ensure the wiring harness functions properly before relying on it.
The Curt 56355 includes a custom wiring harness with yellow and green wire ends, a black converter box, a white ground wire with ring terminal, a provided screw for grounding, double-sided tape for mounting the converter box, cable ties for securing loose wires, and a 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion.
Do not exceed the product rating: Signal Circuits 3.0 amps per side, Tail/Running Circuits 6.0 amps total. Also do not exceed your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding these limits can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
When not in use, roll up the 4-flat connector and store it in a convenient, out-of-the-way location. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
