I have read many of your posts regarding towing a trailer and was hoping you might join in. Sorry to hear that your 9-5 is no more. We have 228k on our 1999 sedan and 190k on the 2001 wagon and sometimes feel like they are going to last forever (knock on wood grain trim). I hope you enjoyed it enough to get another one.
You mention that your hitch was rated at 3500 lbs. Do you recall whether the setup of your hitch looks like how I described mine? (I have 7 bolts. 3 in the centre on the back of the bumper in a triangle pattern and 4 attached to a steel plate that is attached to the back of the spare wheel well. The whole hitch assembly is only about 18" wide and is stamped with a max weight of 2000 lbs.)
My concern is that, although the car can handle the weight, I might have a second rate Saab hitch that will rip right off when I try to pull something heavy. Can you describe your 3500 lb hitch?
