How Volvo XC60 towing capacity changed over time

Year-over-year changes of at least 400 lbs in the highest dataset rating:

2018 → 2019: Maximum towing 5,000 lbs → 3,000 lbs (-2,000 lbs)
2017 → 2018: Maximum towing 3,000 lbs → 5,000 lbs (+2,000 lbs)
2016 → 2017: Maximum towing 3,500 lbs → 3,000 lbs (-500 lbs)

Towing capacity is not the only limit

The usable towing limit can be lower than the headline trailer rating. Depending on the vehicle and hitch, these limits can all matter:

Max trailer weight — published towing capacity for a configuration
Payload — people, cargo, equipment and tongue weight on the tow vehicle
GVWR — gross vehicle weight rating
GCWR — gross combined weight rating
GAWR — axle ratings (front/rear)
Hitch rating — hitch and receiver limits
Tongue weight — typically a fraction of trailer weight, counted against payload
