I have a Volvo 740 Turbo and understand it has a limit of 200 lbs tongue weight.
Does anyone have experience with using a Volvo to pull a 13 foot fiberglass trailer?

Hi Bruce,

I pull a 13' Trillium with a Subaru but a number of members have or are pulling 13's Scamp/Boler/Trilliums with Volvo's. The tongue weight isn't as big a deal as the tow capacity of your car - my Trilliums tongue weight is generally under 150lbs with a propane tank/battery on the tongue.

only thing i remember is on the x counrtys the oil cooler for the rear differential used to activate a lot, this was from a few years back not sure if yours uses the same. pretty neat idea a cooler for the differential

I tow with a 240 and have the equivalent of these ...

"Overload springs offer a 20% stiffer spring rate over stock, returning your Volvo to its proper ride height and will increase carrying capacity overall."

Also IPD are having a sale July 8, 9 and 10th. Springs will be 15% off

I live in the Yukon Territory, and twice now I've seen Volvo Wagon's hauling 13 foot fiberglass trailers. The plates are from the states somewhere, so I'm sure they're travelling long distances with them.

I also have a 4 cylinder Subaru that I tow a 13 foot boler with. Towing capacity on the Subaru is about 2,400. We returned from a long trip to BC... the car and boler did great!
