I have a focus which can tow 1200kg .. the xr2 is 700kg so I would have 500kg to play with?
all this has been covered many times before but its not just the weight of th trailer to consider its the trailers plated MAM because even if the combined mass of car and trailer is under your tow cars limit if the trailer is plated for over then its still illegal. this of course assumes the trailer is plated, bit of a grey area though for home built trailers.
anymore info can be found with a search rather than hijacking this thread
