I have a 2016 XJ and would like to know if it can be used for light towing. If so do I have to buy the hitch from Jaguar or which company supplies the hitch.
One other question, does the vehicle have a roof rack available?
i’m sure it could do light towing, like around 1500lbs!
have never seen a roof rack on a newer XJL Jaguar, but anything is possible i suppose!
any good trailer shop could put a hitch on it!
The owner’s manual just says “this vehicle is not designed to be used as a towing vehicle.” On one level this is a “duh” statement–an XJ ain’t a pickup. The drivetrain and suspension should be more than able to withstand, say, towing a couple of jet ski’s or a small utility trailer. The bigger question would be whether you can find a hitch that will fit, as Jaguar doesn’t make one. You might look on the internet at draw-tight and other suppliers or pre-made hitches, though I doubt you’d find one. That would leave you looking to a local fabricator.
