Hi all,

This is a dodgy question because I know that the towing limit on paper is 1600kg with a braked trailer but has anyone ignored this and towed a car trailer with car onboard?

I've owned a few Volvos and each one could easily cope with the weight, even though it had a similar limit. If people here did it regularly then great, if not then I won't push it.

Don't know about what the rules in VIC are , but up here north of the border, ignoring the permissible maximum towing weight is not only illegal but down right stupid especially with a front wheel drive

No, do not do it. One very good reason is that your drive wheels are the same as your steering wheels. With all the weight over the rear, it is a recipe for disaster.

As well as the above comments, you may well overheat the transmission. The TRD version has a trans oil cooler whilt all others do not.
