X5 vs Touareg vs LR4 Tow Vehicle Decision
Hi All,
We've just relocated to Toronto and need a few cars. First up is the Wife's, which will need to triple as her daily runabout, dog carrier and my tow vehicle for the enclosed trailer about once a month.
Given model availability, price, capacities, etc we've narrowed it down to three choices. I've heard good and bad about all of these, I'd appreciate feedback from people who have owned them and towed with them...
VW Touareg. Tow capacity 7500lbs, V6 TDI
BMW X5. Tow capacity 6000lbs, V6 3.5TD
Land Rover LR4. Tow capacity 7500lbs, V8
The wife likes the BMW the best but I'm concerned about the towing capacity. My race car weighs 2000lbs and I want to tow at least a 22' enclosed trailer. I havent purchased the trailer yet but I dont want to have to skimp on the trailer length and carrying capacity because the car cant handle it.
Appreciate your feedback!
