Towing with a 2018 BMW X5...help please!
Hey ya'll! My name is Cinnamon and while I am not new to RVing (thank you Grampa, Uncle Irwin, and Uncle Jerry <3 ) I am new to living in one. I'll be calling a RV home for majority of the year since ...

OP, I’d do some BMW specific research about the wiring for lights and trailer brakes.
Idk what provisions X5s have, but it’s not like the older vehicles where you can just scotch lock into the tail light wires and and tap the brake switch wire to activate brakes.
Newer vehicles electrical systems are more highly integrated and likely multiplexed wiring systems.
Unless someone with specific experience with your vehicle chimes in, this is a question for a dealer or expert, imo.
Hitch? Whatever bolts up with a 2” receiver and hitches are cheap so get the one with the most capacity.
