On another forum this was discussed and the main issue seem to be that the XC had issues with the tow bar weight. Depending on year, the maximum towball weight could be well below 100kg making for an uncomfortable tow. Otherwise no issue with the MTPLM of the caravan.

The XCs are a wide range of unrelated vehicles - which do you have in mind - XC40, XC60, XC70 or XC90 - and what age as the generations vary.

What type of XC as we had a Volvo V70 XC D5 2.4 AWD. Good tug but there are several different types of XC.

It is a twin axle caravan so probably the XC70 or XC90, but hopefully they will be more specific?

I used to tow a 2018 twin axle Swift behind a 2018 then 2022 Volvo V90. Although a different beast to the XC range they were both excellent towing vehicles (albeit not very reliable!). Tow bar nose weights were 110kgs which was easily achieved.

Thank you for the replies.It will likely be XC90. No rush as yetas I have and X5 to sell on along with a Focuse estate to help finance the XC90

Might be better to consider putting some more suitable tyres on the X5, ie less focussed on high performance tarmac use
