It was really smooth. Oddly seemed easier than the open CT8045 I used before. Kinda need a trailer mounted backup camera now though.

In lieu of new thread, wanted to check in and see how towing has gone for you jml, and for anyone who tows similar spec/weight trailers, especially long distances.
I'm considering an X5M as a multi-purpose DD and tow vehicle for my racecars, after daily driving pickups for 14 years. Trailer would be similar to the enclosed trailex, fully loaded weight between 5200 and 5800 depending on car/load.
Most mileage would be normal commute stuff but sometimes I'd be towing long distances - San Diego to Nebraska for instance, which is 1600 miles.
Thanks!
