Are you ready to plan a few unforgettable adventures near Marietta? The 2020 BMW X5 towing capacity makes it easy to take your family vacations and personal getaways to the next level. Although your maximum tow weight will range between 6,202 pounds and 7,200 pounds, any X5 SAV® can be a great choice for our fun-loving neighbors.
Reaching the Maximum BMW X5 Towing Specs
As standard, the BMW X5 offers a towing capacity of 6,202 pounds. If you’re interested in increasing that capacity to the maximum 7,200-pound upper limit, you’ll need to opt for the optional BMW X5 towing package. It includes a dependable Class III Trailer Hitch, and is available for a small premium on every model in the X5 lineup. Either way, you’ll be able to tow more than you could with the BMW X3 towing capacity.
Adding the Class III Trailer Hitch will require you to forgo the gesture-activated tailgate feature, but for many of our Johns Creek and Milton neighbors, the exchange is more than fair. Compare the BMW X3 vs. X5 or the BMW X5 vs. Audi Q7 to learn more about where this model stands out!

Any BMW X5 can reach the maximum capacity of 7,200 pounds when equipped with a Class III Trailer Hitch, but in other respects, your maximum capacities will vary from trim to trim.
