Car Forum / Volvo Cars / May 2004WTB: trailer hitch for 740, 760, 940, 960
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. Located Pomona (Los Angeles County), California Cross-posted to several groups. Please, no flamers. Thanks in advance! Sue Sanchez I can confirm the hitches are the same, we've used the same one on our 85 740 GLE, 89 740 16-Valve GLE, and our 93 960. Wagon each time, I would assume no difference to the sedans - but get someone to confirm this for independant rear suspension models. > 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).

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.  SignaturePardon my spam deterrent; send email to rhodyman@earthlink.net Cheers, Steve Henning in Reading, PA, USA Owned '67,'68,'71,'74,'79,'81,'87,'93,'95 & '02 Volvos. The '67,'74,'79,'87,'95 and '02 through European Delivery. http://home.earthlink.net/~rhodyman/volvo.html 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.

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.

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

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