Adding tow hitch and wiring V70-XC70 2008

This is the first I have heard of shift points changing when the trailer wires are plugged in. Is there tongue weight measuring device? Does it know that the trailer is empty or full and close to 5000lbs?

As for 2 hours to bury the wire from the battery to the electrical box and create an outlet from the trunk to the hitch? Is there an included lunch break? Time to drink a six pack? When you do it, it will take longer, of course, but that includes mounting the hitch on rusty bolts!

Actually, that would be a good future enhancement: Check the weight at all 4 shocks and the level of the road to determine the proper gear...
