While the 2019 BMW X3 wasn't specifically designed for towing, it still can handle a commendable 4,400 pounds. While it may not be suitable for moving across the country with a fully loaded trailer, it shouldn't have any issues pulling a small camper or a moderately-sized boat. With torque ranging from 258 to 369 lb-ft, depending on the engine choice (2.0L i-4 or 3.0L 6-cylinder), and a maximum tongue weight of 450 pounds, it offers solid towing capabilities. The payload capacity falls between 1,102 and 1,135 pounds, with the smaller engine providing the higher capacity since it allows for a lighter load under the hood, leaving more room for cargo in the storage space.
What are the important specifications needed to determine the trailer capacity, beyond just the weight limit?
