towing with a volvo 245 auto.

Hello, whats the max towing load a 245 can tow?

I am planning on pulling a loaded trailer that weighs about 600 to 800 kgs, most of the trip will be flat but I live way up in the hills,

Engine seems good, trans seems good to and has fresh fluid and the cooler in the radiator and one in front,

I just hope I am well within the towing capacity with that weight?

use the kickdown button so you aren't towing in OD. make sure the load is balanced properly so the tongue isn't super heavy (lifting your front wheels is no bueno).
 
The tow went well, I towed a heavy duty trailer and a small tractor, the trailer and load would have been under 800 KGS, I put in a cup full of upper cylinder lube with each tank of petrol, I did the 8 hour trip at night, the silvering has totally gone from my headlights.
