Hey all, I'll be picking up a V70 in the near future, and have a few question about towing hardware...

1. Has anybody used the factory Volvo hitch? It seems a member or two had problems with the old style round htich, but it has since been redesigned and now accepts a standard 2" hitch. Does it still require cutting the bumper?

2. Does Volvo require or recommend additional transmission cooler, oil cooler, etc with a hitch install? Don't want to run into warranty problems down the road. I know Honda does for the Odyssey, Pilot, and MDX.

The hitch will be used mostly for a bike rack and the occassional utility trailer (runs to Home Depot, yard debris, etc).
