You want to use the Volvo S60/V60 also as a towing vehicle for trailers? In order to answer this topic the automobile must be considered from all points of view, such as whether a trailer hitch (AHK) is available at all, the torque, and the maximum towing capacity.

With a maximum towing capacity of 2000 kg, this motor vehicle does not have to hide. So you can also pull a horse trailer or a medium-sized caravan.
The torque is at the Volvo S60/V60 decisive for acceleration even under load - the more torque the better!

. Torque is available at 400 Nm, which is already a decent value and guarantees that you won't have any problems getting off the mark as a rule. If you want to take the trailer off-road, all-wheel drive is absolutely essential. On surfaces where you would otherwise have no problems, the additional weight of the trailer quickly becomes noticeable and a real problem. It's a good thing that this automobile distributes the power over all four wheels.

However, this deal does not yet include trailer hitch and must be separately ordered.

Evaluation - is the Volvo S60/V60 suitable as a towing vehicle?: The automotive can pull trailers with up to 2000 kg own weight . It can thereby be set to a maximum torque of 400 Nm access. The Volvo S60/V60 is therefore very suitable for just about all typical towing loads in the private sector. Horse trailers with one horse (or two if necessary) are no problem. Please note that you may need a driver's license B96 or even BE / class 3 here.
