Re: Towing and overheating?
As your vehicle has reached the 80 k mark it may or may not have had the entire cooling system flushed, as outlined in the service manual There have been cases of deposits partially blocking radiators to xtrails with similar km's. Nissan coolant is really the only one that should be used in our vehicles.
If this has been completed already then it may be a process of eliminating other causes.

Should I test the thermostat in the head as well?
Yes you should also test the thermostat in the head as well as they work independantly and cool separate parts of the engine.
I also agree with johnsey that you should have the engine and radiator flushed by your dealer to check there is not some left-over casting sand blocking some of the radiator cores. They will then refill with the correct coolant.
