TV question

[WiscoJimbo]

We just bought a teardrop. Unloaded trailer weight is 1,280 lbs. Tongue weight is 120 lbs. TV is a 2018 Volvo V60 Cross Country with a curb weight without fluids of 3,920 lbs. Towing capacity is 3,500 lbs. with a 350 lb maximum tongue weight. Assuming we get trailer brakes installed, does anyone think we need a bigger vehicle to cross the mountains? Thanks!

I towed my little Guy tear with a PT Cruiser convertible with no problems at all sounds like you have plenty of tow vehicle

Which engine do you have? We have a 2008 V70 with the 3.2 v6. I don't have a hitch installed on it but honestly I would have no concerns over towing a trailer that size with it down any interstate in the US. Looking briefly at a Motortrend review of the 2018 lineup it looks like even the base engine would smoke my V70!

And I was all ready to talk antennas......

Sound like you have plenty of capacity unless you have an itch and need a nudge.
