4x4 needed

X5 and Q7 can do 3500 alright.

Not sure if the X5 can do 3.5T, nor would I want to tow that weight with any BMW!

Land cruisers, defender, discovery, range rovers, Q7 or touareg are the ticket if you wanted to tow heavy kit regularly. Few of the pickups are rated for 3.5T and they're generally pish for towing with as well.

Low miler Disco 3/4 or land cruiser

According to BMW it can. Looks like it depends on the engine though

Is that the latest one though? I was looking at previous model so it may have changed. or as you say, parkers could be wrong. Pretty sure I checked them out some time ago when considering a change and there wasn't much bar LR that was rated to 3500kgs.

 

[Coog]

The E70 is similarly rated.

"the BMW X5 is designed to flex to your every need" - hopefully not in the same manner as Nissan's interpretation of flexibility....

Lol the boy that runs the offroad Ireland Facebook page must have been stung by one of these. Seems to get great pleasure from posting photos of them falling apart like that

How far is the boat being towed?

Storage on islandmagee around to larne about 5 mile each way. Once in at Easter and once out at Halloween.
It really is annoying. But you can't depend on someone else to be free to help when your already depending on tide times as the slip is only deep enough a few hours each side of high tide, and also calm weather. Hence he has his own. But it really would make sense to let someone do the launch and retrieve

Cayenne S is 3.5T, just as a swerveball suggestion.

Landcruiser colarado isn't rated to 3500kg as far as I can remember. Pretty sure X5 and Q7 will be well below that too.

Yep I did say Landcruiser Amazon (I have a Colorado, though it would handle it, its 2800), X5 diesels from '07 I'm fairly sure are 3500 (first model def wasn't), not 100% on Q7 but I assumed they would be if Touareg is, maybe theyre not all.

Cayenne and Touareg are the same car essentially.

Yeh. My dad knows this too yet mentioned it as a idea. Think he likes the badge to go with the badge in the garage but I told him it will likely have the same prop issues

The Titan edition of the Sorento can tow 3.5t, sourced one last year as a stop gap and ok you notice your towing with it but if its only twice a year would be ok.

Not a bad looking yoke, but Mercedes ML looking as you get to the back
