BMW X5 Towing Capacity

2025 BMW X5
 

When searching for a luxury SUV that delivers premium power, it’s hard to beat the BMW X5. Offering a range of powerful engines and cutting-edge technology, the 2025 BMW X5 ensures you’re ready for every Bonita Springs adventure. But if your next trip involves towing a boat or trailer, you’ll want to know: What is the BMW X5 tow rating? Get all the details about the BMW X5 towing capacity, engine options, and accessories with this guide from Germain BMW of Naples.

 

 

2025 BMW X5 Tow Rating

So, how much can the BMW X5 tow? When properly equipped, the 2025 BMW X5 towing capacity can reach up to 7,200 pounds*, more than enough to hitch up your favorite fishing boat, teardrop trailer, or adventuring gear on your next weekend trip out of Estero. 

To access this tow rating, North Naples drivers must add the factory-installed BMW X5 tow hitch to their build. While the BMW X5 tow hitch allows for the advanced towing capacity, drivers will lose the “foot-kick” capability of the Comfort Access tailgate. 

2025 BMW X5 Engine Options

The impressive BMW X5 tow rating is a direct result of the premium engine options available across the lineup. Depending on which BMW X5 trim level you choose, you’ll have access to one of four engine options, each offering unique power and capability for the roads ahead. Decide which BMW X5 engine is right for you in the breakdown below:

  • 3.0L Inline 6-Cylinder BMW TwinPower Turbo Engine: Capable of up to 375 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque
