I can't find it anywhere in my Haynes manual or the Volvo service manual: what is the maximum weight that a 145 can tow? Mine is a 1970 with the B20B & M40 4-speed manual transmission, and I am looking at towing a maximum trailer size of about 2000lbs. Does anyone have any information/experience with this?

By the way - I have heard that this particular year/model needs a special hitch, because of the placement of the gas tank. Any thoughts?

Thanks everyone;


Ross in Lethbridge
