Best Caravans You Can Tow
With a BMW X5
X5 variants tow 2,700 kg–3,500 kg braked, depending on which model you have. We checked every caravan on the site against those limits — braked capacity, ball weight and GCM — and found 85 it can legally tow.
How we matched these to your X5
Every caravan below is checked against the strongest X5 variant (3,500 kg braked). We compare the caravan's real ATM and ball weight to your limits using the exact same rules as our full tow calculator — no ratings, no opinions, just the weight maths.
- Comfortable match — the van sits safely inside your towing limit with room for payload.
- Close to the limit — legal, but within 10% of your capacity or ball-weight limit. Watch how you load it.
Some X5 variants tow as little as 2,700 kg. Where a heavier van needs a stronger variant, the card says so.

Always check your compliance plate
These figures use factory-standard specs. A bullbar, long-range tank, or suspension changes can move your real limits. The metal plate on your X5's door pillar is the number that counts — and towing capacity means nothing if you blow the GCM once the family and gear are aboard. Weigh your rig loaded.
BMW X5 towing questions
What can a BMW X5 tow?
X5 variants tow 2,700 kg–3,500 kg braked, depending on which model you have. On this site that legally covers 85 checked caravans — 46 tow with a comfortable margin and 39 sit close to the limit with little room for payload. Every figure is checked against the caravan's real ATM.
How many caravans suit a BMW X5?
85 caravans on Caravan Compare fall within the BMW X5's towing limits, based on braked capacity, ball weight and GCM. 46 are a clean legal match; the remaining 39 are towable but close to the edge once you load up.
Do all X5 variants tow the same weight?
No. X5 braked towing capacity ranges from 2,700 kg on lower variants up to 3,500 kg on the strongest. Heavier caravans may need a specific higher-capacity variant — each match below notes when that applies.
