I really do not think that the SAAB with fwd would be nearly as good towing a boat as your rwd Volvo. Keep the Volvo as a tow vehicle. Also, I do not know if the auto tranny would be as robust as the unit in the Volvo. $0.02 KeithG "GF" <gforrest2000nopsamo.com> wrote in message news:87f7f527.0107311136.5cad2495nopsaming.google.com... > I see that there is a Class II hitch available for the 9-5 which > implies a towing capacity of up to 3500 pounds.
