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.
Trailer hitch weight ratings are limited to vehicle manufacturer's stated capacities
Not compatible for use with vertical hanging bicycles (bike racks that require the bicycles to be hung / mounted vertically)

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.

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.
