Towing a large caravan with a Mitsubishi Delica?

I am just about to purchase an Elddis Crusader Superstorm caravan, with a weight of 1610kg and mass weight of 1900kg. I have a Mitsubishi Delica 2.8 td with a weight of 2060kg and gross of 2445kg. I have been unable to find any info on above due [I think] to the car being an import - any help will be gratefully received!

A Delica is basically a Shogun with an MPV body stuck on top, so go by Shogun 2.8 towing weights. You are bound to be covered for pulling 1,900kg.

I am looking to buy an affordable car for towing a horse trailer. We need a seven seater. My research points to the Skoda Kodiaq which can tow 2000kg. The Nissan X-Trail also comes up but the salesperson...
I am looking for a small van to tow 800kg. What do you suggest?
My understanding of towing capacity is that it is based on the kerbweight of the vehicle. Most manufacturers recommend 85% of gross kerbweight. So how come so many large 4x4s can tow way above that weight?...
