please could somone adive me think of buying a nissan x trail and towing a ace equerry twin wheeler with a mass running load of 1430kg cwt the nisan has a curb weight of 1640 and 85 of curb is 1394 max towing 2000kg can someone please advice
The kerb weight for the XT is given as between 1520kg & 1650kg depending on model and equipment. The best advice is to weigh your XT on a public weighbridge. My XT tow's a Bailey Pageant with a MTPLM of 1364kg and I almost forget it's there. According to towsafe my XT is 1520kg which gives me 89.8% match but I'm not convinced so I will be using a weighbridge asap.
Any manufacturer that only quotes a specific kerbweight for each model without giving a range or stating the exact level of equipment applicable to that kerbweight is not doing anyone a favour. Kerbweight is specific to each car and there can easily be a difference of up 100kg between two basically similar vehicles of the same model. If an exact kerbweight is really that important to anyone, there's no way round putting the car on a weighbridge.
