I think you can only get the 3.0 6 in a stick…not the v8

42

Newman do you really care about how fast your luxo SUV would be? I know personally i dont think i would pay extra for a more powerful motor in an SUV not when you already have a really fast car. In a sedan i would care but a SUV is a pig anyhow i dont know maybe im just lame. BTW i just looked up some prices and thats a fucking deal on the X5.

BMW x3? I somehow dont see newman in a big truck. Anyway, that one is AWD 6SP…

45

Exactly. He already has fast cars, if I was in his position, id be looking for a reliable, gas sipping ride…

46

i don’t want it to be fast… though it would be nice if i could tow a car on an open trailer if needed…

Pretty sure the fx will not do that.
The FX looks so hot, though… the others are just OK.

47

Thats exactley my point i know personally i already have a 600+hp car so i want my daily to be a comfy gas sipper but i still wouldnt mind it being somewhat fun to drive.

48

I’d bet a 45 could do it, but 45 = $…

49

I bet it would it might not say to do it but shit i know a guy that tows his 9sec TA with a jeep wrangler. Also SREAWFSR or whatever his sn was trailered his vette from Buffalo to FLA with a BLAZER!!! through the mountains and shit. Im sure you could do it.

50

hahah yeah

as long as the tongue weight isnt too crazy, you could probably get away with it. Open car trailer + the BMW would be pretty light…

51

pretty base but good miles and price:

Decent price.

Even the base ones are nice…

53

I think if you get over the fact of owning a vw…the tourag just seems more what you need.
Throw some d’s on it and I think it will look way better.
If I were to do it… It’d go…

Tourag
x5
fx35

the fx’s are still quite high in price compared to the tourag

54

Ok just checked the FX35’s towing capacity is 3500lbs and you know that shit is conservative. You would be fine. Especially since that is for like extended travel conditions with the vehicle at full capacity. Also if you really want to be safe just get a secondary trans cooler and having driven one i know the brakes or power wont be a problem.

55

rgr

Thats all we did with my truck. Tranny cooler, and it tows our 7000lb blat like a champ.

56

pretty hot.

57

Ok here is some info Im not sure what years your looking at but for ex.
2002 X5 3.0 Gas Mileage 15/20MPG Towing 5,000lbs
2002 X5 4.4 Gas Mileage 13/17MPG Towing 6,000lbs
2007 FX35 Gas Mileage 16/21MPG Towing 3,500lbs
Not looking up the VW cause they are lame sorry.

58

If you buy an SUV it is now mandated by law that you throw some d’s on it along with a pimp nav unit and a system.

59

fuck

thats pretty hot…

Armada tows 9,000 pounds. would tow the sti, the e30 and a trailer without probs, and it can be fully loaded and gorgeous
