2014 Volvo S60 towing capacity
The 2014 Volvo S60 is published in 9 configurations with a tow rating of 3,300 lb (light utility / small-trailer territory).
The table below lists every trim of the 2014 Volvo S60 with the engine, drivetrain, axle ratio, horsepower, torque, GVWR, curb weight, and payload that go with that trim's headline tow rating. Manufacturers often publish more than one tow figure per truck — a conventional bumper-hitch rating, a weight-distributing rating, and a gooseneck or fifth-wheel rating — so the highest number here is the maximum across all hitch classes the source carries for the trim.

How to interpret the headline tow figure
Tow ratings at this level are normally achievable with a conventional Class II or Class III receiver hitch. Always verify your vehicle has the manufacturer's tow package installed if you intend to tow at the upper end of the rating, and inspect the door-jamb sticker for the actual maximum permitted on your specific configuration.
How this year compares to 2013
The 2013 Volvo S60 carried a maximum tow rating of 3,307 lb. The 2014 model is rated 7 lb lower — sometimes a real spec change, sometimes a re-test under a stricter standard like SAE J2807. See the 2013 Volvo S60 page for the full per-trim breakdown of the prior year.
