What needs considered when adding a trailer hitch 850 96

posted by  someone claiming to be Jim on  Tue Apr 10 06:21 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I have a utility trailer that is 5' x 8' and I want to pull it with my '96 855TLA. It will be used in lieu of a pick-up truck to run short trips for yard maintenance items. Besides installing the new hitch to the frame and adding the wiring adapter to interface with the wiring of the car for trailer lights, what else maybe involved making this safe? Are different rear springs or shocks upgrades needed? Will anti-sway bars on the car cause weird handling with a trailer being towed? Maybe I should not install it on the 855 but install the hitch on my other Volvo, a '92 965. What ya think?
