I just past by the shop where they do install itch (I deceided not to install Volvo one's) and the guy make me realised that althought the V70 can town up to 3300 lbs the max weight on the itch as recommanded by Volvo is only 165 lbs. For him this make no sense as usually the max weight on the itch is normally 10% of max recommmand weigh, which would be close to 300lbs here.

I called my Volvo dealer and talked to someone at services/pieces and he told me that for him the 165 lbs make no sense since the Volvo is build very strong. He told me not to worry about it and recommanded, as you did, to add some load levele. Meanwhile to add load leveler they have to "custom" the itch since the model that fit the Volvo doesn't support the necessary to have load leveler...

Do you have more than 165lbs on your itch with your Coleman folding trailer?

thanks,
