Towing with a V70 V70-XC70

posted by  someone claiming to be Mikebox on  Wed Apr 11 07:12 CST 2007 [RELATED]

I have towed my jetboat (boat and trailer about 2200lbs) with my v70 na. The car pulled it fine but looking out of the rear window, it looked like I was pulling a yacht, lol. I kept feeling like the boat was going to mow me over when coming to a light. I didn't want to use it often for this with the volvo fwd transmission reputation. Additional heat is not good at all for an autobox. I do not have an aftermarket tranny cooler but would recommend it for anyone towing more than ocassionally.
