Hello
>From experience, you can tow the std trans Volvo forever w/ 4
wheels down, in neutral etc.etc.. Forget a dolly...too much slop &
play that takes all the fun out of towing. For the automatic Volvo,
unless it has the Borg Warner 35 transmission, my first guess is
Not. However, a call to the dealer or someone else on this list may
be more knowledgeable.
