Default Trailer Hitch and Wiring

Hi folks,

New to the forum... I may be picking up my sister's 2000 S40 soon. I need a hitch to haul a simple utility trailer for household stuff, and occasionally, my cycles.. I see that Uhaul makes one.

So 2 questions:
1. Any experiences/feedback on the Uhaul hitch, or any other reccommendations ?
2. Is the S40 Prewired for a hitch adapter ? Possibly from Volvo ?

Thanks much
Oz

Guys, I need help also. I have a 2007 S40 with the dynamic trim sport package. I'm thinking of getting a trailer to tow my motorcycle, but can I get a hitch for the 07 S40?

Hi Ghostrider,

A friend of mine recommended Hidden Hitch after installing one on his VW Jetta. I ordered and installed one on my V70 and I had a pleasing experience. They send directions that are vehicle specific and were perfectly thorough. Anyway, here's what I'd recommend for you: http://www.etrailer.com/hitch-2007_Volvo_S40+Sedan.htm
(I towed a motorcycle and a lawn mower on mine for ~1000 miles and nothing broke! despite my worst fears.)
