Anyone install an aftermarket 2" Hitch to their XC40 Recharge? The factory one is really expensive.
I have to have the larger, 2" size for my heavy dual electric bike rack.

The Factory hitch is 10.5" to the Electrical plug socket and 11" to the hitch itself. The car has a pretty short wheelbase, so even with going up a steep driveway, it should be fine.What is the clearance for the factory installed? Maybe higher if it is in the bumper area? (We have a steep driveway and I've had other cars scrape it with 3rd party hitches)
Late to the thread, but we had the DrawTite put on our first XC40 P8 back in September. It was a hitch-specific shop that did the work, and it was spendy at $1200 but cheaper than the dealer. Since then, U-Haul is officially doing XC40s (not officially electric, but as we all know it’s the same car). Have an appointment tomorrow to have it put on our second XC40 P8, and all in with wiring is $475. Drastically less than dealer pricing.Anyone install an aftermarket 2" Hitch to their XC40 Recharge?

is the factory hitch the one that is tucked away and "unfolds" when you press a button ? I saw some Volvo video ads for that and it looked like that hitch was a "ball" type, while that thule rack has the square attachment ? How do you fit a round peg into a square hole ?I went with the factory installed hitch. We also have two ebikes.
