Towing in the X1
I believe the towing capacity is 2500 lbs... has anyone actually towed with their X1? We have 2 harleys and want to tow them out west and go on a motorcycle ride for a week or so then tow them back. How capable is the X1 35i as a tow vehicle?

I recently towed my 2700 lbs Jayco Swift travel trailer with no problems. I have seen varying towing recommendations between 2200-4400 lbs which is quite a range. I got the larger hitch from draw-tite which is rated for up to 4000lbs. I have a 2013 sdrive

I have hauled my utility trailer but only with about 500 lbs. I would not hesitate to tow the Harley's except for the fact that you want to pull them all the way across the country for only week. I would rather try to rent bikes out there or crate them and ship as cargo. Unless you just have tons of time to drive there and back.

so you have a 28s... correct? I don't think the S comes in 35i?

Hi all,
We want to tow a caravan with our 20d and the dealer quotes 2500 Euros for retrofit. Aftermarket towing units are around 500-700 Euro, but the dealer said there are also electronic components which they add? Can you give me advice if you have put 3rd party applications to your cars? |
