tj220 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Hello all, I tow a Swift Charisma 220 with the above vehicle. The CC web outfit matching page seems to suggest the caravan could be too heavy!! The site says it does not have a train weight for the xtrail. What is it? The dealer I purchased the van from said it would tow caravans a lot heavier than the one I had purchased. Could someone please advice?

bfgbeanieking Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Thats one reason i avoided the X Trail when i changed cars. My old 407 could tow heavier. Do you have an option to change car/caravan? Quote Outfit: 2003 Kia Sorento XS 3. 5 V6 automatic and 2010 Bailey Pegasus 534 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtrailman Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 All the details are on a plate under the bonnet, fixed to the bulk head. Personally i consider the 148bhp auto a poor tow car, it has a 75kg nose limit, and can only tow 1350kg. Details from 2009 specs GTW for my manual 171 bhp is 4370kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
