Pics of X5/X6 Trailer hitch?

mdrobc13 · 05-09-2012, 05:37 PM

Does anyone have any pics of a BMW X6 with the OEM BMW installed trailer hitch? Am looking to have this installed to facilitate moving/towing my two vehicles short and long distances once and awhile an also to include my motorcycle and possibly a jet ski or small boat in the future. Also a small covered U-haul trailer would be nice to be able to move.

So anyone done this before with their vehicles? What is the max towing weight with the X6? Any links to the OEM hitch out there to view/purchase? Any pros or cons with this approach? Yes I think the X5d would be a much better towing vehicle but we gotta go with that I got! Anyway think it would be a good idea especially in those cases when I wanted to tow something or get a large object or furniture home and defray delivery/freight costs. Wife's Cayenne S had a tow hitch OEM but never used it and sold it two summers ago...so my X6 now gets the honors. THanks

Here is a pic of my X6 with dealer installed trailer hitch. It also required a flash to the vehicles computer. Best, Brian

If you do a search you will find plenty of pics, on xbimmers and via google.
