I have towed a caravan all over Europe in the last 6 years with my XC70 Geartronic and have never felt that it has been under any strain, even when we have been crossing the Alps in 35deg. heat.
Fuel consumption can be heavy at lower speeds when the torque converter is slipping, but it is not unreasonable once it locks up at about 55 mpg
