Message	Towing vehicle would be an 87 Volvo 740 Station Wagon (aka TURBO SW), and vehicle to be towed is my Z (aka MONZTER). Now, Volvo has factory hitch, rated at 3300 Lbs. Z is rated at 3400 Lbs towing weight (as per U-Haul) + dolly weight of 200 Lbs and i'm 300 lbs over the towing capacity. Volvo has 162 HP and 195 ft/lbs torque, and it's an automatic. Do you think this shit can work out for a 1200 mile tow? heheh Thanks in advance, any ideas/oppinions are welcome. Later, Wolf [Pittsburgh] MONZTER '91TT stage X
