Well, I just picked up the hitch to install it and realized that it's a drawtite after all. Not what I ordered, but it'll do just as well. The drawtite hitch was not supposed to include the free drawbar, so lucky me!



Okay, i've installed it. Took ~40 minutes. Don't be concerned that the bolts that hold on the volvo tow hook are 17mm and hitch bolts are a heavier 19mm. The bolt shaft appears to be the same, or at least it fits into the same holes. I haven;t rewired the rear yet, but I'm going to install the Drawtite light module that I bought from IPD.

My only warning is that the two large standoffs on the rear edge of the lower facia will be inaccessible during reinstallation due to the trailer hitch. I'm just going to leave them out, it stays in pretty well, and I trimmed the facia very closely to the shape of the hitch.
