I am looking for a 2" trailer hitch for my Cross Country. Does anyone have any suggestions? All I can find is 1-1/2" receiver, this is'nt going to cut it. Any help would be appreciated.

Not for towing, but there are adapters to size 1 1/4" up to 2".

Uhmm, how much weight are you planning on towing?

The XC is not a truck-based SUV, it's a jacked-up station wagon. Neither the uni-body, engine or AWD system are oriented toward heavy pulling...

I understand how much this car can handle. I am only towing a Seadoo, but I want to also attatch accessories such as a bike rack that require the 2" reciever. I have seen a 2" reciever on a XC recently. Any suggestions?

Amil,

Might want to check out this thread on volvoXC.com. There's plenty more info on hitches besides this one.
