The Towing Capabilities of a BMW X3

The BMW X5 is remarkable at its towing capacities. Recently, we saw it towing a boat, thus many of us already know this truth. However, some asks whether its smaller variant, the BMW X3, could also do the same. This then led us to finding out its towing capabilities.

We checked the 2019-2020 BMW X3 to make things simpler. In doing so, we found that a trailer hitch outfits any trim of this car with its towing capacity of 4,400 pounds. With a payload capacity of 937 pounds, it will also be capable of carrying plenty of weight inside, too.

The 2019-2020 BMW X3 could efficiently tow a comping trailer or a tiny ski boat at 4,400 pounds. The towing capacity of the X3 is obviously still 50 percent smaller than that of the X5 with 6,600 lbs. However, this should nto mess with your hopes to carry larger items along.

When it comes to lining up the trailer up to the hitch of the car with the Rear- View Camera, this should be easy for your trusted professional installer. The Dynamic Traction Control and Dynamic Stability Control are some of the BMW technologies that can help you as well. Even though you have a large object linked to your X3, technologies such as these will guarantee that you will be in control of your ride. As for going downhill, the Descent Control feature of the X3 is also accessible.

For the past generation of BMW X3 (F25), let’s suppose that you’re in the market for it. Its towing capacity is slightly smaller with 3,500 pounds. However, for several use situations, it’s still enough. Practically, you should check the specifications before letting your car secure a large object in it. The image above shows an example of how a BMW X3 features its towing capacities.
