Hi Braden, we tow our 26' boat with both the X5 & X6. The X6 is a better tow vehicle, due to the firmer suspension & greater torque of the newer diesel. Most of the time it is to & from the ramp, about 4kms. But have towed with both over 100kms on trips. I would not tow without electric activated trailler brakes, surge brakes would put to much stress on the X6 & create excessive forward stress on the car. We are at the towing weight limit of the X6. If towing each day there are better options, but for short trips no issues with the X6. The auto handbrake is a great on a wet ramp & the traction terrific.
The only issue you may have is the low position of the X6 hitch. We have installed a variable height slide in heavy duty tow arm, to compensate.
