Trailer hitch for 92 740?

I would like to pull a 4x8 trailer with my 740 turbo wagon. So first step is install the hitch. I would prefer to save some $$$ installing it myself. It needs to bolt on, no welding needed. The trailer I am getting is rated for 1000 lbs max. I don't think I should go over half that probably as it has auto tranny. .....but that should meet my needs. I already have a 1-1/4 in. chrome ball receiver and ball. Anyway I found this "universal" hitch up for auction on ebay....there is a pic that shows what cars it is for, and none of them are Volvo, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't fit on Volvo....I just don't know. One kind of needs to be sure because of the expense of shipping it back to vendor if it won't work. Any idea if it would fit or not? If this doesn't work, any ideas as to a source for an install-yourself kit?

There is nop way to tell how good a no-name universal hitch is and I certainly would not trust an Ebay dealer to provide critical safety information. Unless you know exactly which class of hitch to get, which brands to look for, how to install it, how to wire your car, I STRONGLY suggest that you have either a RV supply or U-Haul store install one for you.

I towed several trailers with a 960 automatic and had absolutely no problem with tracking, lighting, etc. But the hitch, wiring and isolating connector were designated for a 960 and installed by a local trailer sales shop. It was money well spent.

Yea, I had decided that an ebay hitch was not a good idea. I am having a pro who has been doing hitch installations for 40 years install one using a kit sepifically for this car. But I am doing the light wiring myself. regards, Geronimo
