What's the tow rating for that XC70? Wonder if it would be the same for a V70R

I used to have an 850 T5-R, great reliable car that saved my life. same underpinnigs as the x70

get the turbo version and be aware that the early ones had heater core and exhaust manifold issues (cracked).

We are a Volvo family!

My brother has a V70 T5,850 Turbo and a 245 Orange Wagon...He's had a 740 wagon and another 245 wagon. My mom has a S70 SE and I have a 850 Glt. They are amazing cars! The wagons can get a tad harsh over time though...Make sure the suspension is in good order. When my brother got his V70 he drove an Audi wagon, and he said it was "junk" compared to it....Take that with a grain though.
