Towing my 2005 Volvo V50 with all 4 down

I would like to know if I can tow my V50 Volvo with all 4 down manual transmission and are there any restrictions?
Thanks guys.

    There is a wealth of information from members of this forum, but asking a question such as this on any internet forum is dangerous. In your case, maybe some Volvos can be towed four down and some not. A member may tell you about towing his successfully and you proceed to tow yours, only to find out your model cannot be towed. You are then faced with an expensive repair bill. Understand my point?

    Questions such as this are best researched by the questioner until they are satisfied that they have the right answer. Of course, your question here may well be a part of that research, but your post does not indicate that.
  • The first thing you need to find out is, does anybody make a baseplate for the Volvo.
  • No Volvo is listed in the 2005 FMCA towing guide.
    This is not to say that it can't be towed 4 down.
    I would rely on what the owners manual says.
    You could also check with Remco and see what they say.
