Installed a Stealth Hitch on 2019 XC60 T8 Inscription

Even prior to my vehicle purchase I had decided to get a hitch. Many thanks to others posters who provided information on the various options out there. In the end I went Stealth Hitch Combo Package for my 2019 XC60 T8 and thought I'd share some pictures and suggestions for anyone wishing to do the same.

Although I have almost no use for the towing functionality, I decided it was the best option in case I ever wanted to use it for towing in the future. After a few quick emails with the owner, I purchased the combo package which included the OEM Volvo module.

For anyone else considering the same, the install took hours longer than expected. Honestly, if I were to do it again, I'd have someone else do the install. Nevertheless, if you have the time and tools, part of the motivation for this post is to give you better insight on what it will take.

Part of the reason I went with Stealth Hitch was the cutting would be minimal. This was not my experience and the instructions provided were not good when it came to cutting. I cut more plastic than suggested and still ended up doing a second round of cutting to make it work.
