Hello,
I just joined, mainly for one reason. I am considering purchasing a used Volvo for the purupose of towing a boat. I have noticed that many Volvos have tow ratings up to & slightly over 3,000 lb. I have a boat that weighs 2,800 lb. loaded. Can anyone provide me with advice as to how suitable these vehicles are for towing? I don't want to be struggling up hills and, frankly, the rating seem as if they would be highly optimistic. Can anyone recommend a particular model? I would like a wagon and want to spend in the $10K to $15K range.
Thanks,
Mark
