As far as the MY2010 XC60 is concerned I have given them - I thought - clearly.

XC60 pricelist either viewable on the Volvo website or available by post gives the XC60 205hp 4wd manual towball weight as 75kg.

XC60 owners manual either downloadable from the Volvo website or as supplied with the vehicle gives the towball weight as 90kg which Volvo now say is wrong.
I was asking Dazzler. But the latest web brochures are showing 90kg - which matches against those of the V70. I can't see any reason why a D5 XC60 would have a lower noseweight than a V70.

Something doesn't add up - especially when you have a look on the Ford site and see that the Mondeo has similar towing capabilities to the V70 (although there is no mention of noseweights). The Mondeo can only manage a 75kg roof rack (V70 100kg).

The latest Swiss brochures still state 90KG
