How much weight can a X handle behind it?

You mean for towing? Why not just check the owner's manual?

Well I just ran a quick google search and one site was testing a 05 X and they said the rating was 11,000 lbs.

I tow a trailer that is over my rating too. I just went a size up on the receiver and got some air bags and it's all good. What is important to watch is the tongue weight...

Well my Dad's 08 450 broke down right before a big motorcycle trip and we had to tow that 13,000 pound trailer with an 05 X. The tongue of that trailer is 1,400 pounds and we only had a 1,000 hitch that would fit! It towed it fine but it has some trouble keeping the trailer from swaying! Anything over 50 and the trailer had a mind of it's own!

I pull 10k, the Ex can be setup to tow great with some mods..V and modded B code springs, 30MM swaybar correctly valved Bilsteins and IMO most importantly wider tires and rims..12.5" and min 9-10 wide rims.
I've helped many mod their Ex's all over the country if I can get you additional info-help PM me.
