How the X-trail performed as a tow vehicle - Prepared the X-trail for towing I share with you what I did to prepare the X-trail for our long distance trip towing a caravan. We travelled over 3,000kms and the X-trail did quite well but what are my thoughts of it being a tow vehicle? Is the X-trail a good tow vehicle?

      Just leave radiator cap off, turn on car and let it get too perating temp. You'll see some bubles from the filler. Level might go down so keep topping up. Wait a while until no bubbles remain. Close cap.

    Great advice but you don’t mention what xtrail you have? I just bought a 2023 ST X-TRONIC 2WD to tow my jayco wren bush pack which weighs <1000kg and have just read about CVT and that they aren’t great for towing so why do Nissan claim they have a 2000kg towing capacity.

    Nice, it looks like you have a nice 109 Gotta love all the 70 series owners swapping to fat wheels making there old tyres nice and cheap to buy 😊 The axle upgrade was for 2 reasons one was the side that locks in the axle i beleave slides in, the other reason is that landrover axles are very weak so when lockers are used they tend to break. I think maxi drive may be making those lockers by order still as mac namra i think closed up in ether the 90s or 2000s Have you checked out the boys from seriously series here on you tube?
