We towed our 3023 to Yellowstone this past summer with our 08 XC90. I will admit 3.2L straight 6 could use some extra power on the hills but manual shifting and planning ahead had me beating most other guys up the steep mountain passes(having empty tanks is always a good decision). The self adjusting rear suspension on the xc90 also made short work of the trailmanor's heavy tongue weight. Not saying it was stress free but I have full confidence in our TV and would do it all over again. Now if we could just program a tow mode into the 6speed auto. Sadly we have eyes for the new XC90 but the pocket book....not so much
