Anyone towed with a V60 D6 Twin Engine?
Hi,
I'm towing with my D6 the end of this month, it's has a Volvo detachable towbar and volvo towbar electrics fitted. Are there any tips or things to look out for towing with a hybrid? Thanks, Craig

Quick Update
The V60 D6 towed exceptionally well, very stable and actually towed fine on battery only when going through built-up areas at low speed, which was surprising. Power mode gave incredible overtaking capability, even left most cars standing when needed. Great tow car!

Glad you like it!
Have a look on YouTube as one of the caravan mags did a proper road test on it - very stable. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wlHqyr...IGNhcmF2YW4%3D |

I actually think the extra weight in the boot stops the tail wagging, plus the trailer module integrates with the DSTC and I've got ATC on caravan so should make for a very stable tow!

Will also be handy on wet campsites at the moment with the AWD button.
