Hi, what type of hitch are using in this video. The original foldable hitch is Class II for 3500 lb and the weight for this trailer I think is above it. Any idea_ thanks from Chile

OK if you have a C1 licence ,but how many drivers who passed after 1997 have added this to their licence.

Such a beautiful car.

Amazing car and great video about the towing ability as I want to pull a camp trailer. Perhaps a silly question but would the US version of this car have a different ability? i.e The US specs state 3500lb towing capacity for all 2020 XC versions however the specifics at the end of the video explicitly state it would be at a 5000lb limit. Great video, thank you again!

Two years later and you get an answer! lol 3,500 is for a trailer without trailer brakes and 5,100 is with trailer brakes. I pull a 4,400 pound Rockwood Roo with my V90 CC and it's like the camper isn't even there. I DO have trailer brakes which is key.
