How to Select a Trailer Hitch
A long Volvo sedan often lands on a Class 3 two inch receiver when the door sticker and hitch card agree on real trailer work.

Shopping a trailer hitch for a Volvo S90 in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year, then open the live CURT card that matches it. CURT 13305 is the dedicated Class 3 hitch we stock for listed 2017 through 2021 S90 years on a two inch receiver. CURT 13484 is the later Class 3 path that lists the 2023 S90 on a shared XC60 shelf. Confirm live ratings before you order, and treat the Volvo tow limit on the door sticker as the final word even when the hitch tube looks ready for more.

Watch on YouTubeWhich CURT hitch fits your Volvo S90
CURT 13305 is the dedicated S90 Class 3 hitch for listed 2017 through 2021 years. The live card rates it about five thousand pounds gross trailer weight and five hundred pounds tongue weight on a two inch receiver. The install difficulty is listed as advanced, so budget shop time and hardware rechecks after the first trips. Those hitch numbers only matter after the Volvo door sticker and owner manual agree with your plan.
CURT 13484 is the later Class 3 path that lists the 2023 S90 beside XC60 years on a shared shelf. That card rates about four thousand pounds gross trailer weight and four hundred pounds tongue weight, and the live install note reads novice. Do not assume the earlier five thousand pound story still applies when you are on the 2023 lander. Open the product page that matches your year and read the ratings printed there.

Parts-counter notes before you click buy
| Topic | What we tell shoppers |
|---|---|
| Door sticker first | A hitch is not a blank cheque. Read the Volvo tow limit, then open hitch versus vehicle tow rating. |
| Year band split | 13305 for listed 2017 through 2021. 13484 for the 2023 S90 on the shared XC60 shelf. Ratings differ between those cards. |
| Shared shelf honesty | 13484 is not an S90-only carton. XC60 keeps its own guide at the XC60 hitch buyers guide. |
| Live wiring | 56285 is on the shelf for listed S90 years. Still confirm the harness card year list before you buy. |
| Receiver size | Match accessories to the two inch opening. See the receiver size guide. |
| Tongue weight reality | Measure before you guess. Open tongue weight scale tips and tongue weight explained. |
| Install habits | 13305 lists advanced install. Recheck hardware after the first trips. See hitch bolt torque tips. |
| Sedan cousins | S60 keeps its own guide. See the S60 hitch buyers guide. |

Accessories that match a two inch S90 receiver
