Escalade has the horsepower, size and cargo advantage and smooth ride. I love my wifes 5 series BMW. Can anyone chime in and give me some advice on both of the choices? I realize these are two different beast, apples and oranges. Any thoughts would be appreciated especially anyone who has found themselve in the same position or has owned both.
Thanks.

I towed a dual trailer with 2 Kawasaki 1100STX's loaded behind an '01 X5 4.4i and it was fine. The only trouble I had was hauling the trailer up the ramp at lowish tide. That being said I used to have a '99 Tahoe LT and towed a similar setup and didn't experience the same problem.
I would think that you have to decide what's more important to you, the towing/cargo capacity, or handling/speed etc?
