I am looking to put a tow bar on my V70xc, its the early '99 model, looked at lots of listings and they specify that various tow bars dont fit this model of V70! Why not? Is it just that the ride hight is an inch higher or so so the swan neck is a different profile to keep the tow ball the same height relative to the ground but all the mountings to the rear chassis of the car are the same? If so is it possable to fit a tow bar designed for a regular V70 with the old fashioned two bolt flange but with a "dropper" plate to drop the flanged tow ball an inch or so to keep things the same height to the ground?, This is the style of bracket i wish to fit as i want to bolt a bracket to it to carry my trials motorbike. Any comments greatly recieved!!! Thanks to any one with the answer!!
