Optional equipment must-haves?
Thinking about replacing my 2014 F-150 with an off lease X5. We are towing a 5000# (loaded) travel trailer about 8-10 times a year, usually about 200 miles, sometimes over a 3000ft mountain pass.
I know I need backup camera and I want the air suspension. I think I learned the backup camera is available standalone as well as part of Driver assistance. Air suspension is in a "Dynamic Damper Control" package and in a "Dynamic Handling Package" Anything else you'd consider must haves? Any warning signs or features to avoid? Thanks Skelshy |

Forgot about the heated steering wheel. I've been using mine a lot lately. Even in L.A.

hah yah. I had it in my previous car and don't think I could live without a heated steering wheel again so had to make sure the X5 had it. First world problems for sure.

Head up Display and Heated Steering Wheel are my FAV features/options that I have and use daily! Love!!! Also, the LED headlights are worth it alone, just to get the front LED blinkers instead of the bulb blinkers that come with the Xenon headlights!
