What is tongue weight while towing a boat?
The tongue of the trailer presses down on the trailer hitch, and that is tongue weight. How hard it presses down is a function of the weight in front of the trailer wheels, and how much of the weight is not offset by the weight behind the wheels. If the tongue weight is too great, the rear of the towing vehicle goes down. Too light, and the boat trailer will swing side to side.

What is the towing capacity of a Volvo 740 wagon?
The towing capacity should be the same as the sedan i belive. With no brakes on trailer 2000lbs max & 3300lbs with brakes on trailer with standard tranny. But with automatic 3500lbs max with brakes on trailer. But thats all i know. I just would not tow more than 2600lbs behind my car with brakes on trailer. But dont let the place hack your car up putting a tranny cooler on. It will just damage your tranny more. Just take it easy dont floor it while towing & keep it out of overdrive. Dont drive at speeds above 100km.
