We're considering buying a new 18-foot caravan and would like to know if we would need to fit a transmission cooler to our 2009 2.5-litre auto Nissan X-Trail TI. The van will weigh about 1650 kg when loaded with a ball weight of about 160 kg, which is well inside the 2000 kg towing capacity of the X-Trail.
Although you appear to be well within the towing capacity of the X-Trail it's wise to fit an external cooler. Overheating an auto-transmission is like a death sentence to it.
