Post pictures of your 4.8is pulling a boat!
I have a friend of mine that bought my 04 4.8is.
Has the hitch etc. But thinks he can't pull a boat of the 5-6k variety. I saw a few pictures on site but thought it might be interesting to see a bunch of towing pictures in one place. Thanks in advance.

I saw a guy doing just that in a 4.4i on the belt parkway no less. I gave him the honk of respect.

EXCELLLLLENT.......with Mr. Burns accent
 If he still wants to get a silly old Dodge I will help him post the X up here but It will be a big mistake on his part. An 04 Estoril X5 4.8is is kinda rare and with low miles etc. But people are odd sometimes

I havent officially weighed it, but I calculate my boat/trailer combo with 50 gallons gas, cooler and some misc at about 5200lbs.
Previously towed with a 1/2 Chev pickup. The pickup struggled. My X5 actually has a higher tow rating by 300lbs. The air suspension is wonderful! Levels the load instantly when hitching up and keeps the vehicle level. I can accelerate as fast towing as any average vehicle without a trailer. No sway or feeling of trailer overpowering the X5 at all. I shift it in manual mode however, as the transmission automatically compensates for the load, but I dont like how long it holds the shift points. I shift at 3k RPM and get 12-14 MPG. Simply put, its a FANTASTIC tow vehicle. Not many vehicles out there with the pedigree of the 4.8is coupled with the towing capability.
