The BMW X5 has been updated for the 2024 model year, bringing additional power and refinement to the Ontario streets. As a popular SAV® in the BMW lineup, the X5 offers plenty of power under the hood, space inside the cabin, and capability for wherever the road takes you. One of the capabilities? The available BMW X5 towing capacity, which can reach up to 7,200 pounds when properly equipped! Get all the details from BMW of Murrieta about how the 2024 BMW X5 tow hitch can help you bring along your favorite jet ski or pop-up camper, and then see what kind of power you can opt for when you choose this performance-oriented BMW SAV.
As mentioned, the 2024 BMW X5 towing capacity can reach up to 7,200 pounds when properly equipped. But what does “properly equipped” entail? While choosing the features you want on your 2024 X5, drivers must select the optional factory-installed BMW X5 tow hitch. This hitch will increase your BMW X5 towing capability to the maximum 7,200 pounds, but will come at the expense of the “foot-kick” capability of your liftgate. It’s also important to use appropriately rated equipment and trailers with appropriate braking systems to ensure safety while towing around Corona. Always read your owner’s manual or speak to the experts at BMW of Murrieta.
Once you’ve added your BMW X5 tow package, it’s time to consider which of the capable engines you’ll choose for your Riverside adventures. With three engines available over five configurations, there’s plenty of power in the BMW X5 lineup. Take a look at all the available engines, their performance, and respective trims below:
