Is anyone using their X5 35d to haul a trailer (5,000-6,000 lbs.) ? If so are you happy?
Back ground:
Our 2001 X5 4.4i (E53) was totaled last week* and we are in the market for a replacement. We live in the Texas Hill Country and used our X5 as our serious tow vehicle. Our little 5x9 trailer with electric brakes is rated at 5,000 lbs. We regularly hauled a couple of tons of limestone, gravel, road base, etc. with this rig.
Now we would like to find a more economical (read fuel efficient) alternative without giving up the X5's nicer features

* The X5 was rear ended by a pickup at 60MPH as my wife slowed to turn right off of a 2 lane ranch road -- OUCH ! My wife is OK
The X5 is now an organ donor
