I currently have a 2021 Nissan X-Trail and am looking at purchasing the Jayco Lark camper. I am wondering if the car would be able to tow this camper?

The Jayco Lark is available in two forms, the Touring (on-road model) and the Bushpack (designed for rougher roads and bush camping). Because of its higher ride-height and different construction (to handle rough tracks) the Bushpack weighs slightly more than the Touring with a tare weight of 1030kg versus 980kg. Of course, that’s the unladen weight and both versions of the Lark have a loading mass of 415kg (including an 80-litre water tank) that would take them, fully loaded, to a weight of 1445kg and 1395kg respectively.

The 2021 Nissan X-Trail, meanwhile, can legally tow a braked trailer up to 1500kg (1650kg for the diesel-engined version). So, yes, you can legally tow a fully-loaded Jayco lark with your vehicle.
