Exactly! That's why I thought it useful to mention the possible difference, also assuming (some) people
buy Volvo's because they are safe cars and the rear bumper is the first defense when hit from behind.
The beam of the rear bumper is indeed massive, I have it in my garage, asked for it when the towbar
was installed because I was curious about it. This probably explains why the Volvo towbar is expensive.
