You want to use the Volvo XC90 also as a towing vehicle for trailers? In order to answer this question the motor vehicle 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 towing capacity of 2700 kg, the Volvo XC90 is a real workhorse. For him, there is hardly anything that you can not pull, at most a full-grown sailboat.

This much torque is available, which clearly means that even if you have charged a lot, it hardly affects acceleration.

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 car distributes the power over all four wheels.
