You wouldn't believe the towing ability of the X5. I'm more than willing to surpass he US tow rating of 6k, because the EU rating is at 7k I pulled 7K for 2300 miles straight, and it was super comfortable, efficient, and overall a splendid first "long haul" experience. I did put helper bags in my rear springs, as I have base suspension in the rear. Made it SO much happier and smoother while towing. Power is never an issue while pulling.
I'm HOPING to have the opportunity to buy a cool old truck early next year. That would be 2900 miles each way, one way with the trailer empty, and the way back from coast to coast with a 4500lbs 3/4 ton truck on the trailer. That'll bring me to 6700ish, and I honestly don't think I'd worry at all about pulling up the rockies. I'd for sure monitor my intake temps, trans temps, and oil/coolant temps though.
I also came from an MHD stage 2 catless 335i. I honestly think my X5 can do 0-30 faster than my 335i did, since I was no expert on launching it.
