I can't help directly as my car is different and I don't tow! but ...

When I got my diesel twin engine, I had a good scout around YouTube, and people like Practical Caravan did tests on it while towing a caravan - stability, running on electric only, range, acceleration etc. I'm sure they do the same on the XC40 if you search it different ways?

I did see the new iX5(?) BMW on a towing test last week where the range was under half.
