Car Forum / Volvo Cars / March 2008Towing question 92 Volvo 740.....
Its has the std automatic tranny, turbo wagon version. Just wondering if it could handle towing a Coleman or similar pop-up camper... a smaller one, which could sleep three. No, it wouldn't involve any steep mountain climbs, only hills. If I do that, should I install a tranny temp gauge? It doesn't have an aftermarket trans. oil cooler, just the cooler that has coils on the radiator. So I guess I should definitely add a good heavy duty SEPARATE cooler. Actually a pop-up like Jayco which can sleep 8 and is 23 ft. long is still under 1000lbs....its listed as 900 dry weight. > Actually a pop-up like Jayco which can sleep 8 and is 23 ft. long is > still under 1000lbs....its listed as 900 dry weight. I've towed a 2500 lb boat and trailer with my 240 Turbo, it had no trouble going up steep hills and on the highway. Since yours is an automatic you might want a tranny cooler but the rest of the car should be fine if everything is in shape. > Its has the std automatic tranny, turbo wagon version.

For safety sake and the life of the transmission just keep the speed reasonable, don't let it lug on the uphill and all should be well.
