The MGW is just over 2 ton as the x trail is. Do you have one ?  If so how does it tow ?   

I don't have one. Just looked up the kerb weight as they don't look like they're 2 tonne kerb weight. 

x trail is no where near 2 tonnes

The MGW for a 2005 X trail is 2050.  I want to know if anyone has been towing with the X1. I didn't ask for google experts to give me figures which i already know, If you haven't got one or haven't towed with one then don't fill up this discussion please, I can google myself if i need to know weights.

Sounds like the tail will wag the dog ..... but hey ho ...... off you go 😂

I haven't towed with an X1 because I don't believe they are capable of towing a big caravan safely.

As you will know, the kerb weight of a car is the important figure for working out towing capacity and 80% of kerb weight is the normal maximum recommended, unless you are an experienced tower when that can be increased to 100%.

Whilst the Gross weight of an X1 is 2015Kg, the Kerb weight is only 1430Kg. That would make towing a 1500Kg caravan potentially illegal.

Perhaps the lack of response from people who have towed with an X1 suggests that very few do.

rich 81. then why have you not questioned google for the answer.

I have and it gives me a perfect match for my Bailey with  MGW of 1500KG as does the caravan club matching service. I asked the question just to see if anybody is towing with one on here. Obviously i'm asking in the place as all the replies are from people who are self confessed experts which don't tow with one. 

I, for one, am not a self confessed expert and would welcome you enlightening me on where my rationale breaks down (see above).
