Hey Chuck, I think you'll find that the X is an eXcellent tow vehicle. I don't think an 18 or 19 will fit back there very well, but if it makes you feel better, you could carry a larger tire and just put it on top of your load floor. How much of a distance do you need to tow the boat and how big (weight) is the boat & trailer? If it's not too much of a distance, I think the standard spare will do just fine if you take it easy.
