anyone tow with a Volvo XC90?

That should be a well matched setup. Tell them to have fun!

I've seen an XC90 pulling a Airstream approx 28 ft long. They had a Hensley Hitch on it.

My in-laws have the same setup, and they blew their turbo charger two years ago. I drove the setup once, and the car would not upshift to the normal drive gear to pull the R-Pod on the flat at near highway speeds, not good in my book. They also have a fuel range of 100 miles per tankful.

Hey Mike,

Interesting you saw a Volvo/Rpod combo but it wasn't them. They haven't picked their trailer up yet. They'll feel better knowing there are other people with the same set up.

Pretty sure I saw them driving across the Golden Ears bridge on Saturday....I'm always checking out RV's as they drive by. ;)
First thought was, "Wow, a Volvo pulling an Rpod?"
As it got closer and passed by it looked like a solid set up. Trailer looked dead level behind it.

Think they should have no problem, but like any rig, caution is your best friend. Don't care if your a Volvo/Rpod or a 3500/40ft fifth.....take it easy and all will all be well. :)
As long as they don't expect to do the speed limit climbing up over the Coq, they will be fine. A cautious wife will most likely rub off on the driver....in my experience :)

Tell them to enjoy camping this season!

A single axle TT especially a relatively aerodynamic one like the R-Pod should be great for the XC90, which is a mid-sized CUV.

I do know Volvos are one of the few cars left that actually have a tow rating
