Default s60 towing capacity

Hi, What is the towing capacity of a base model s60. I read somewhere 3000lbs. That seems pretty high. Is it possible?

Thanx

In our country the towing capacity is stated on the registration papers of the car.
On my S60D5 year 2005 the registartion papers state max. towing permitted is 1600 Kg. (x2.2 is Lbs)

Yeah maybe it is 1600kg or around 3200 lbs. I just want to pull an ATV and an ice fishing house. Should be around 1200 lbs. with the trailer.
