Hi Andrew,

Yes, but you need to be careful. The current diesel Outlander has a maximum braked towing weight of 2,000kg (or 1,500kg for the plugin hybrid version), but if the total weight of car and trailer exceeds 3,500kg then you need to have the proper Category BE (car and trailer) driver's licence, not just the standard Category B licence.
