Default Towing with 2008 volvo xc70 or what?

AK,

I replaced my 2000 Accord EX-V6 with a normally aspirated Subaru
Forester 2.5XS. I opted for the normally aspirated engine over the
turbo because:
1. It was available at a good price.
2. The normally aspirated requires only regular gasoline while the
turbo motor requires premium fuel. Ouch!
3. My drivers license could be in jeopardy if I drove the turbo
version! :-)

Oh yea, I got the Subaru because it's rated to tow 2,400 lbs with 200
lbs tongue weight. Even though my trailer weighs less, I went ahead
and had a transmission cooler installed.

Ok, I made a decission I bought Subaru Outback Turbo Limited. My wife
drove it and she said it drove like her sports BMW and it can tow up
to 2700 lb and with the turbo I will have no problems going through
the mountains.
