Default Towing with 2008 volvo xc70 or what?

Whatever y'all end up towing with, make sure you know how much your
loaded trailer weighs and what the tongue weight is, then compare that
with the rated towing capacity of your vehicle.

My loaded trailer weighs 2,040 lbs with 180 lb tongue weight, as
weighed on a scale at a truck stop. That's a lot more than the 1,000
lb max trailer weight with 100 lb tongue weight than the Honda Accord
was rated to tow. No wonder I had trouble with the hitch trying to
depart from the car! Doh!
