What do you think of hitch on XC90? Planning to get one so I can haul my bike and tow a small trailer once in a while. I found a discounted price for Draw Tite at 4wheelonline (http://4wheelonline.com). Does anyone have this kind of hitch? How difficult is to setup the wiring? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Mounted a hitch on my 2007 XC90 abt 3 months ago. Ordered it from http://www.etrailer.com/ and it was specific for my car. Installation took abt 2 hrs by myself. I would recommend looking at it. They have a video showing you how to install it.

I put one on my 2006 XC90 by myself including wire harness. Used etrailer.com for both the hitch receiver and wire harness. The hitch is actually what the ball is attached too and slides into the hitch receiver. The wiring requires you to plug into your rear lights, very simple and comes with good directions.

Thanks for the reply guys. Do you have any pics of your X90 with the hitch installed? Will check out etrailer later.

This reminds me, I have the factory tow package but I can't find the trailer light wiring socket. Where should this be on a factory tow package?
