What do YOU tow?

I would absolutely love to hear/see what everyone is towing with their x5. If you have details like model car, trailer weight, tongue/hitch weight, what towing hitch you use, etc that would be even better. This would probably be super helpful for others too!

X5d towing

I have a 2011 E70 X5d with 160k miles on it that I have towed an airstream about 30k miles. It weighs 2900 lbs and is easily towed. Running BF Goodrich T/A KO2 all terrains on it because I like to go skiing and it is amazing in the snow with those tires, and good for towing. Got 70k miles on first set and now on second.
Just started towing with my 2017 X5d. It did great on the above trailer but now have an airstream that weighs 3400 lbs and it does fine with that too. Curt hitch and about 475lbs tongue weight. It has the 20" rims and I am going to need new tires and anguishing about that. You need a stiff tire when towing to maintain control.
I use a Prodigy wireless brake controller for both trailers and like it a lot.
