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 S60, V60, V70 and XC70 (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 350 lbs. TW. 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 S60 and S60 Cross Country (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 is a weight-carrying type with a 3,500 lbs trailer weight capacity and 350 lbs tongue weight capacity. However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
Yes, the CURT 13266 fits 2008-present Volvo V70 models. Note that 2012 models have one muffler, whereas pre-2012 models have two mufflers. This difference is noted in the installation guide but does not affect fitment.
The CURT 13266 is rated for a maximum of 3,500 lbs trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower.
You will need: T20 and T25 Torx drivers, 8mm, 10mm, 13mm, 14mm, and 17mm sockets, a 6-inch socket extension, a ratchet, a torque wrench, a rotary tool, and safety glasses. The manual lists these as required tools for proper installation.
The kit includes: two 0.375-inch spacers (CM-13266-SP), six M10x1.5 hex head cap screws, grade 10.9, zinc-plated (10-10414), six 7/16-inch conical tooth washers (30-00163), and two 0.375 x 1.25 x 2.00-inch round hole spacers (CM-SP56).
The manual does not specify battery disconnection. However, you will need to disconnect back-up sensor wiring if present when removing the rear bumper fascia.
Two people may be required to ease installation. The manual specifically recommends two persons to remove the fascia to prevent scratches or damage to the vehicle.
No, drilling is not required. The hitch uses existing holes in the bumper beam. However, trimming of the rear bumper fascia is required.
You must trim a 2 by 2.5-inch notch in the lower bumper fascia using a rotary tool. The trim outline is located at the bottom center of the fascia. Trim dimensions are 2.00 inches tall, 2.50 inches wide, and 1.25 inches from the center. Heat shield trimming around the receiver tube may also be required. Confirm fit prior to trimming, as dimensions are approximate.
All M10 fasteners must be torqued to 45 lb-ft. On V70 and XC70 models, the towing eye hook must also be retightened from inside the vehicle and torqued to 45 lb-ft.
On V70 and XC70 models only, you must loosen the towing eye (1 bolt) under the appearance panel on the rear passenger side to allow removal of the bumper beam. The towing eye is then reinstalled and sandwiched between the hitch and bumper beam. On S60 and V60 models, towing eye removal is not mentioned.
1. Remove rear bumper fascia and disconnect back-up sensor wiring if present. 2. On V70/XC70 models, loosen the towing eye. 3. Remove bumper beam using a 13mm socket. 4. Place hitch into bumper beam aligning holes. 5. Raise hitch and bumper beam into position, using supplied spacers if needed. 6. Install M10 bolts and conical tooth washers; hand tighten driver side and lower passenger side bolts. 7. Reinstall towing eye if applicable; hand tighten bolts. 8. Torque all M10 fasteners to 45 lb-ft. 9. On V70/XC70, retighten towing eye from inside vehicle to 45 lb-ft. 10. Replace appearance panel bolts on V70/XC70. 11. Trim fascia using rotary tool. 12. Reinstall fascia.
Hand tighten the driver side and lower passenger side bolts (or all bolts if the tow hook is non-removable) when first installing the hitch. After the hitch is positioned and the towing eye is reinstalled, torque all M10 fasteners to 45 lb-ft.
Yes, if the mounting surface on the rear face of the end panel has spot-welded plates with raised edges around the perimeter and center holes, you must use the supplied spacers. The CURT 13266 includes two 0.375-inch spacers (CM-13266-SP) and two 0.375 x 1.25 x 2.00-inch round hole spacers (CM-SP56) for this purpose.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times during installation. Two people are recommended to remove the fascia to prevent scratches or damage. Use proper tools to improve installation quality and reduce time. If you are hesitant to undertake this task, contact an authorized CURT installer for assistance.
All non-trailer loads applied to this hitch must be supported by CURT 18050 stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty.
After installation, ensure the fascia sits flat along the rear shelf of the trunk. Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. This ongoing maintenance is critical to safe operation.
The manual states you should periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. A specific interval is not provided; consult the vehicle manufacturer's maintenance schedule or contact CURT technical support at 877-287-8634 for guidance.

All non-trailer loads must be supported by CURT 18050 stabilizing straps. Failure to do so voids the warranty.
Continue to loosen the towing eye as needed to remove the bumper beam. The towing eye is located under the appearance panel on the rear passenger side and is retained by 1 bolt. Loosen this bolt incrementally as you work to remove the bumper beam.
Ensure that the trim dimensions are correct (2.00 inches tall, 2.50 inches wide, 1.25 inches from center) and that the notch is properly cut. Confirm fit prior to final trimming. Also check that all M10 fasteners are torqued to 45 lb-ft and that the hitch is properly aligned in the bumper beam. If heat shield trimming was required, verify that it does not interfere with fascia fit.
Check whether the mounting surface on the rear face of the end panel has spot-welded plates with raised edges. If so, you must use the supplied spacers (CM-13266-SP or CM-SP56) to ensure proper alignment. The manual notes that the Volvo S60 has this configuration and requires spacers.
The Curt 56224 is designed for Volvo S60, S60 long wheel base, and S60 (including S60L) with T5 trims only (4-cylinder turbo engines). If your vehicle matches these specifications, it will fit. For other engine types or model years not listed, contact the vehicle manufacturer or Curt for confirmation.
The Curt 56224 has a Signal Circuits rating of 3.0 amps per side and a Tail/Running Circuits rating of 6.0 amps total. The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum fuse. Do not exceed the product rating or your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower, as exceeding it can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire.
You will need a panel trim removal tool and a 10mm socket. The manual also indicates that you may need to drill a 3/32" pilot hole for a ground screw if a suitable existing screw is not available near the taillight connector.
Yes. Step 2 of the installation requires you to locate the vehicle's battery on the driver side under the hood and disconnect the negative battery terminal before proceeding with any other steps.
The vehicle's wiring harness connectors are located in the trunk behind the taillight housings. The driver-side connector is at position P3 (behind driver side taillight housing, inside of trunk) and the passenger-side connector is at position P4 (behind passenger side taillight housing, inside of trunk). You will need to remove the trunk floor coverings and rear scuff panel to access them.
Pull back the felt trunk liner behind each taillight to locate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness connectors. Separate the connectors carefully, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Insert the T-connector end (yellow wire on driver side, green wire on passenger side) between the separated connectors. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
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" 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 miscellaneous items that may be hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
Drilling may be required. Step 8 instructs you to locate a suitable existing grounding point (such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle's frame). If no suitable point is available, you must drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided ground screw. Before drilling, check for miscellaneous items hidden behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
When in use, route the 4-flat to the center of the vehicle. When not in use, roll it up and store in a convenient, out-of-the-way location. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion.
Locate a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight and adhere the black converter box using the double-sided tape provided.
After reinstalling all items removed during installation and reconnecting the negative battery terminal, 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.
First, remove the 10mm bolts and cargo tie downs located on each side of the rear scuff panel. Then remove the scuff panel by pulling out on the bottom and then up.
The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 10-amp maximum. Exceeding this rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. Do not exceed the product rating or your tow vehicle's lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
