Hi,

Try quoting the string value to which the variable must be tested.
<xsl:when test="$towingCapable='true'">.
otherwise, your checking if there exists a 'true' child element with a string value equal	to the variable.

It could also be that whitespaces are spoiling the test. In that case, declae your variable thus:
<xsl:variable name="towingCapable" select="normalize-space(.//towing/text())"/>

regards,
