Well, just got back and the car pulled great.
One or two issues, but nothing to do with towing. I don't think the V70 could have handled some of the hills we went up with the current caravan on the back, so definitely pleased we changed.

A couple of observations, though.
Although they are the same marque and have very similar interior design, the V70 felt much more solid on the inside, just, well, better built.

And, but in fairness I was warned, the XC90 is much noisier, especially when dragging the van up steep inclines.

Having said that, lovely to drive, very sure footed and, if it proves reliable, a good choice of car!
