I can't seem to get the classified add to work but I am in the market for a trailer hitch to fit a 92 945T.

Dear BrickDad,

Hope you're well and stay so. Further to my post, when comes time to install, you should have a wire brush, of the sort plumbers use to clean copper tube, before soldering. Such a brush - in a 1/2" diameter - will enable you to clean the pre-drilled holes in the frame.

On the right side, there's likely a very heavy-duty plastic tow loop, that has to be removed, so that the hitch can be mounted. On the left side, the pre-drilled holes have been exposed: those will need to be wire-brushed.

If you'd not otherwise do so, coat the bolts - especially the underside of the bolt heads - with anti-seize. This will ease removal, should that be needed.

Even if you find a new-in-box U-Haul hitch, I'd paint it with an appliance epoxy paint. The factory-applied paint will not hold-up for long, unless you're in the desert southwest. Mask the factory labels, wipe the entire surface with acetone to remove any contaminants, and then spray the epoxy. This will keep the hitch in good order.

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

Spook

Thanks all for the advice. I just ordered one from U-haul.

If U-Haul doesn’t pan out then I’ve always had good luck reaching out through local autowreckers and their regional network of available parts. An added advantage of that is you’re more likely to be able to ask for and get all the matching mounting adapters and fasteners, even pull the trailer lighting adapter if you*re lucky, and if you’re really, really lucky there may even be a ball mount hidden in the trunk.

I always presumed that all 900 and 700 chassis would fit the same hitches, but I may be wrong on that. In fact, a couple of Volvo parts schematics I just looked at suggest a different fitment for early 940s like your 1992, but I have my suspicion the differences are minor and possibly just some of the mounting hardware. Of course check your local buy/sell listings, even reach out through their wanted sections in case someone has one sitting around going to waste.

Dear BrickDad,

Hope you're well. U-Haul may be able to supply and/or install a hitch. See: https://www.uhaul.com/Trailer-Hitches/1993-Volvo-940-Wagon-Rwd/?vehicleId=11969

"Although this hitch has been discontinued, some U-Haul locations still have inventory that we’re offering to you at red tag pricing! These hitches are unused and structurally sound. While supplies last. Manufacturer Part Number: 12209 . Part number: 36195."

I've installed same on a '93 and '94 940. The holes are pre-drilled.

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

Spook

Guess what, the U-Haul trailer hitch that I ordered June 30 based on Spook's kind information just arrived last week!

I will get some bolts and get to work this weekend.
