re: "...the original Volvo's hitch (1973). It matches my memory of what the one on my parents' 1974 looked like...."

Per my message below, I'm glad you could illustrate this. But your parents' '74 wwasn't really the same as this illustrated '73. The '74 had a drastically changed bumper (the thin, in height, bumper of the '73 that you see in your picture was changed to a bumper that was about twice as wide, or high). That means that the hitch you illustrated wouldn't fit -- the '74's hitch has to drop down further, to fit under the lower edge of the '74's bumper.

- Maybe it's the BW-35 that's limiting the towing rating. [140-160]
