The Highlander had around a $40,000 MSRP when new. Its also a 6 cylinder.

Shows what $20,000 more in MSRP between the two vehicles got me . . . who knew

Man . . . your 50i must be really something to drive!
So, I went from an '09 Nissan Armada LE. Also a V8 and heavy on the torque/power. So, going from a SUV with a curb weight of around 6,800 lbs. to a SAV with a curb weight of around 5,200 lbs coupled with a twin turbo, 32v V8...I had no idea what I was getting into! Boy am I glad I have this X5!!! WOW!

In one of my previous posts I detail how I got spanked by an X5M and how I hadn't boned up on the launch control feature. I gave it a whirl a week or two ago. I damn near SHAT myself in reaction! WOW!

I haven't towed yet, but I'm sure that it will be just as much of a breeze as you have detailed your experience was!
