Hi ,
Anybody on here had a tow bar fitted to an xc 60?
Do the fitters HAVE to cut a lump out of the rear valance or is it down to the fitter or the style/ type of tow bar you have fitted ?
TIA

Hi had one fitted to an xc90. It was a swan neck detachable which didn't need any modifications to the bodywork. They also supplied a cover for the bit where the tow bar attached to the vehicle. I must say that this was fitted by a Volvo main dealer. There are many options to chose from. The final choice is your's

I think it was about £600. It was 8 years ago so I might be a little more now

Have a look at P F Jones website (towbar supplier and fitter). They have a range of XC60 towbars, dedicated wiring kits etc. All require a bumper cut (most are non-visible, unless you look underneath)
