Have you tried the website - http://www.whattowcar.com/ - which will calculate a 'match' between your car and caravan, and give you a score as to how good a towcar it's likely to be.

I used to have the 4X4 version of the X Trail and I found for towing that it was best to use it in the Auto drive setting as I used to get a lot of wheel spin when moving off at roundabouts. This would suggest that the 2wheel drive version might suffer from traction problems but no personal experience.
