:wink: Hello people
I got the Volvo running thanks to replacing a couple glow plugs--yeah

Now I am preparing for the winter exodus from Michigan to warmer climate and am purchasing a tow hitch made especially for the Volvo.

I have confidence that the diesel engine is strong, but I realize it is not a new vehicle and want to pull safely.

My first thought was that I would be towing a small u haul trailer with various household items and perhaps tools, music equipment and records.

For the heck of it I thought I'd ask could this car tow a trailer such as a small airstream? It may seem insane, but all those early photos always show a station wagon pulling them "with ease"?

Well, thanks for your time and insight into my towing inquiry...
