Anyone have a hitch they are not using that will fit on a 1998 V70?
Apparently the later 850s are compatible.

Please email.

Your best bet is to go to U-Haul and buy a new one. They are cheap and
they fit perfectly. This is what my dealer advises people and what he
does himself.

Thanks for your response Steve,

I tried that and they wanted over $400 including installation! Didn't
seem cheap to me. We are in Canada so maybe it's cheaper in the US.

I'd rather buy a use one for under $100 and get my own mechanic to
throw it on.

Are you close to the border? The hitch is U-Haul # 36262 and sells for
US$139.95 + US$8.95 for a hitch ball + US$19.95 for hitch receiver.

It is rated at Class 2 and 3,500 pounds.

I had a Volvo hitch and two U-haul hitches and like the U-haul hitches a
lot better.

It is at:
