XC90 V8 as a tow car?

[Mxgeldar]

I have just bought the v8 and collect her Thursday and have a few questions please.

1. I assume towing without self levelling suspension is no issue for the xc90?

2. Does anyone tow twin axle vans with xc90....any observations/warnings?

3. I noticed a single electric point on the towbar .... How do I get my fridge working? Is there an adapter and any recommendations to find one?

4. Does anything need activating to allow the tow electrics to work ?....this was the case on my old discoveries and cost me money to activate.

Thanks all for any help!

youll need an extra elec pojnt on the towbar to provide 12 volts supply to the caravan

no problem with rear suspension !

Just follow the weight limit recommendations , obviously a 4 wheel trailer is wanting to go straight on rather than turn , could be tricky on any vehicle going down hill on a slippery road !

all volvos now have a single socket , 13 pin .. are you saying you have a 7 pin socket ? If you have a socket it will already be activated .
