The question
Will a Nissan X-Trail pull a horse trailer/horse box double, and are the brakes good enough for this trailer too?

Hi Bernice,
I've always thought the Nissan X-Trail to be something of an underrated star of the compact SUV segment. It's good to drive, massively spacious and well made.
As for towing, it has a maximum capacity of 2,200kg, but that's for a braked trailer. Obviously, if you're on a category B driver's licence that could potentially put you over the maximum 3,500kg gross vehicle limit, so be aware of that.
As for brakes, you shouldn't have any trouble so long as you don't load over that 2.2-tonne limit.
