In my area, if you don't go crazy with options, Ive seen them lease in the low 500s per month, sometimes even the 4s. Thats better then spending 60-70k on a new truck if you're not really using it everyday.

Is this the new tow rig chit chat thread? Just picked up a couple parts from Banks before the prices went up before the end of the month.

What do they use in the EU to transit HPDE cars to the tracks? I know there's some American trucks over there, but not enough for it to be the major choice.

I do want to get a 3/4 ton diesel in a couple of years since I have a 28' gooseneck trailer. It's a hand me down that I will need to basically rebuild...should be a fun project then one year later...

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...e?ie=UTF8&th=1 My friend has the 2.7 in the silverado.. He says it gets the job dones but it definitely feels underpowered when pulling an 18ft steel deck car hauler and his e36..

lightweight trailers, sensible midsize suv or just normal cars, and they are generally better drivers.

Another weekend towing my M3 down to WGI with my X5, a bit over 300 miles round trip. Between the car, trailer, extra wheels and tools I was probably right at the rated capacity, but the ride was uneventful and relaxing.
I think I have the stability portion pretty well set up - a short hitch to minimize lever arm and aftermarket air bags at 50psi did great to minimize squat and sway. Once up to speed I had no problem maintaining 75mph comfortably. The trans wanted to shift down to 7th on some hills while cruising, so I experimented with keeping it in M8. No issue with that either. My only complaint was that it would be nice to have a bit more power off the line, so I'll likely be looking into a downpipe and Stage 2 flash (currently Stage 1 MHD).

Not letting me upload photos -- Here's a link
I tow with f15 diesel, tuned. Got 25mpg at 70mph with this setup. will likely get a different trailer, may go for an aluminum enclosed. Extremely comfortable and capable. Would definitely recommend an x5 diesel for towing but i'd recommend the e70 chasis. F15 is a bit fragile.... I have the stealth hitch installed so we can take advantage of the euro towing capacity. |

I’ve been towing my e92 on an open steel trailer with a 2018 raptor and it’s been great. The sag is barely noticeable and the ride is so comfy even when towing.
The raptor’s size is getting a bit tiresome as a pseudo daily though and I rarely offroad it anymore. Glad to hear x5, cayenne, and discovery are all viable options for 6-8 track days per year. Any other thoughts on Cayennes and Discoverys? What else in that size range is worth considering? gx 460 and lx 570 are on my list too. Grand Cherokee is a no go for me. My parents had an ecodiesel that was a total disaster. Left them stranded multiple times towing a small camper. Last edited by Sanchez14; 06-07-2024 at 08:49 AM.. |

FWIW, the G05 chassis seems to do a better job. I towed a few times with my G05 M Comp, and it felt pretty darn stable, no noticeable impact from other vehicles. that's towing an open trailer though.

Neither X5 nor Cayenne is safe for trailering an enclosed due to wheelbase length regardless of trailer construction (aluminum or steel). That’s why I recently bought a proper tow rig and am selling my Cayenne diesel, which is the best vehicle I’ve ever owned but I just have no longer have a need for it.

There are definitely light weight and aerodynamic options that would work.
