I tow a 1500kg Swift Challenger 540 with our V90 D4 R design and have done for the last three years.
It tows really well. The Volvo electrically deployed towbar is brilliant, easy to connect and the trailer lighting test is excellent.
The back does sit down quite low when the van is attached, but never so much that the jockey wheel touches the ground (like some outfits I see).
We have just come back from two weeks in Scotland (450 miles each way) in one journey.
Expect about 25mpg towing, be aware that the Pilot assist and BLIS do not work when there is a trailer attached.
The only issue we experienced this year was traction difficulty when trying to get into a CL on a steep gravel slope. Ended up having to take a bit of a run at it.
