My biggest tow so far. It was quite a weight. The length of the trailer (8+ meter) was a challenge, especially with the many roundabouts we had to overcome.

My biggest fear with this event would be picking up a flat at that location.

Tows my 14.25 ft aluminum Lund like its not even behind me.
Load weighs in at 1600 lbs all tolled. Weighed on a truck scale (of course, no car attached). Installed the Invisihitch myself. Only issue is on the highway or through the mountains I have to keep looking back to remember I'm towing it : Last edited by expidia; 07-14-2017 at 07:49 AM.. |

After I installed the invisihitch and took my first boating trip to the river with the bmw . . . it was night and day. 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! |

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! |

I regularly tow two dragonboats around the UK and recently completed a 2,200 mile round trip from Nottingham, UK to Venice, Italy.
I have the BMW factory electric folding towbar. It looks big, suffice to say my F15 & the trailer are 18m long in total. The trailer weighs about 2 tons. |

Thats beautiful. Love the purple covering.
And I thought "my" trailering cover was a slow process to put back on after each trip on the water Can we see a pic of the sailboat without the cover or better yet, under sail on the water? Can you sleep on it? |

The X5 can pull the weight, but a rig too big may not be allowed on the roads here. 26 ft is probaly around the max and best pulled by a truck and then you have to drive a truck. Its not the pulling thats the issue with an X5 . . . its the stopping even with a trailer with its own brakes. I'll be in the market for like a 23 footer http://www.titantalk.com/forums/tita...ions-help.html |

Haven't seen a X6 yet, so here's mine going to the river this weekend. It's a small trailer and boat but it feels like I have nothing on the back while towing.
