WTB: trailer hitch for 740, 760, 940, 960

May 08, 2004 8 Replies

I'm looking to buy a used trailer hitch for my 1990 Volvo 740 GL. Class I or Class II (which essentially means, "any Class).



I believe that the hitches for the 740, 760, 940, and 960 are identical.

Thanks in advance!

I can confirm the hitches are the same, we've used the same one on our 85

My Volvo dealer recommended U-Haul. I got their trailer hitch and it works perfectly. Class I or Class II inserts. It is custom made for Volvos and didn't require any modifications to the car. It cost a fraction of what a Volvo hitch costs.

They have one for my BMW 330i. I don't plan on trailering. I just want to use a bike rack so the little women doesn't need the "truck" for her bike trips.

I had UHaul install a hitch on my car (a Honda) and thought the price & performance have been fine.

The one fitted to my 940 estate didn't fit correctly and the installer had 'modified' the exhaust so that it hit the suspension on fullish compression. I think it was for a 740, didn't seem to be a Volvo unit so I got rid of it since it was not much use to me anyway.

U-Haul gave me an estimate of $319 for installed hitch and wiring harness, which isn't too bad.

However, my thought is that there must be old hitches out there on cars no longer being used as tow vehicles and I might get one cheap. I'll try calling junkyards next.

Thanks though

Found this on ebay for $75, it fits 940s, I think it will fit your 740, maybe someone can verify this.
