Default S80 2.4D Automatic 2007 good for towing?

Hi all
Newbee to the forum

I’m thinking of buying an S80 2.4D Automatic (2007) to tow my caravan which has an MTPLM of 1413kgs. I have completed 2 online matching utilities, and the results show that the car is ok for towing. I can’t find any kerbweight ratings for the automatic version of this car, and wondered if there is any variation for automatic.

I really like the look of the car and if anyone uses the S80 for towing, I would really appreciate your thoughts and experiences.

Cheers.

If you can have a look at the V5 which may give the kerbweight of the vehicle.

It’s on the vehicle details page, line G and is called Mass in Service.

Thumbs up

OK, thanks for that, I’ll have a look

Reading other posts, it would appear that automatic boxes are heavier than manual.
