[QUOTE="C.U. Fishin, post: 196312, member: 3364"] I pull my 14' semi-V with my '93 Volvo 940 wagon, no issues at all. But in the case of this Volvo it has a factory tow rating of 3300lbs and a factory receiver hitch. Depending on the weight of your boat/trailer setup you may wish for a little more power at times, I have a turbo 2.3L motor so I haven't ever really felt like I "needed" more power. The biggest factor will always be the brakes, I would estimate the total weight of my setup to be 800-850lbs loaded, It's fine now but if it were much heavier I would at least want a trailer with surge brakes.
