It is not often you tow over 120 so should be fine

There is no towing weight limit but you need to use sense with it. They will tow a 240 with no trouble, the most important thing is getting the right nose weight and with 4/6 wheel getting the tow ball height correct.

There are few tow bar types. A lot of after market ones only fix to the bumper iron fixing points. These are ok for light loads not not a good idea for anything heavy. The Volvo bar mounts to the bumper irons and a dozon or so bolts into teh floor pan and are strong enough for heavy loads. many tow bars are plated with a limit.

If doing lots of towing it is worth fitting a engine oil cooler and with a Auto fitting a cooler for teh gearbox
