That depends on your model and what features it came with when you drove away from the dealership. Starting from scratch, you'll need a trailer hitch or adapter that connects to your Volvo vehicle's frame. This offers the secure connection you need for your trailer hitch ball or ball mount.

Add a hitch pin or lock to secure the trailer's connection to the trailer hitch or adapter. You'll absolutely need a wiring harness, since it connects the trailer's brake lights, turn signals, and tail lights to your vehicle's. Finally, using a safety chain helps keep your trailer attached to your vehicle at all times, through all the turns of the road.

How Much Do Volvo Trailer Towing Parts Cost?

Once again, that depends on several factors. First, if your Volvo already boasts a trailer hitch, that's a major chunk of the cost eliminated right there. Then there's the type of hitch you choose; you see, a receiver hitch runs much less than a 5th-wheel hitch. However, assuming again that you're adding everything you need, you can expect to pay a total of $250 to $1,500 or more, including parts and labor.
