Hi all, I have just bought a 2009 (2007-2009) V70 2.4 D5 SE LUX Automatic and trying to find out the actual Nose weight, towing capacity and kerb weight.

Every google search and towing report I've read suggests a max towing weight of 1800kg, nose weight of 75kg and kerb weight of 1578kg.

The manual I have with the car states 2000Kg max towing weight and nose weight of 90Kg.

The vin plate has two figures on it - 2310Kg and 4310Kg which I believe is the max car weight and max train weight which when worked out gives towing weight of 2000Kg, still not sure of nose weight.

The suggested nose weight for my Elddis Crusader Aurora is 85Kg so I want to be sure I am not putting too much force on the car.

Can anyone advise on this.

Thanks, Andy
