The 2027 BMW X7 tows up to 7,500 lbs with the available factory-installed trailer hitch, backed by standard xDrive all-wheel drive. That maximum towing figure remains 7,500 lbs for the 2027 model described here and pairs with a 375-hp BMW TwinPower Turbo inline-six producing 398 lb-ft of torque in the xDrive40i. This page covers how BMW X7 towing works, which models support it, and current BMW X7 availability at BMW of Milwaukee North in Glendale.
The 2027 BMW X7 is rated at a maximum towing capacity of 7,500 lbs when properly equipped. That rating applies to both the xDrive40i and the M60i, keeping the maximum towing figure consistent across the lineup. To reach that 7,500-lb maximum, the vehicle requires the available factory-installed trailer hitch. Buyers planning to tow should confirm trailer-hitch availability when selecting or configuring a BMW X7.
The BMW X7 xDrive40i has a listed curb weight of 5,452 lbs and 8.7 inches of ground clearance. The 7,500-lb maximum may accommodate a range of recreational trailers when the fully loaded trailer, tongue weight, passengers, cargo, and vehicle remain within all applicable ratings.
Two important components of BMW X7 towing capability are the powertrain and chassis.
The 3.0L inline six-cylinder BMW TwinPower Turbo engine produces 375 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque. Maximum torque of 398 lb-ft begins at 1,850 rpm, providing substantial torque output at relatively low engine speeds. The 48V mild-hybrid system can recuperate energy during deceleration and provide electrical assistance to the combustion engine under applicable operating conditions.
The 4.4L BMW M TwinPower Turbo V8 with 48V mild-hybrid technology produces 523 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque, with maximum torque beginning at 1,800 rpm. The BMW X7 M60i reaches 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and carries the same maximum 7,500-lb tow rating as the xDrive40i when properly equipped.
Both models use an 8-speed Sport Automatic Transmission with paddle shifters and Sport and Manual shift modes.
Standard two-axle air suspension includes self-leveling functionality that can adjust vehicle ride height in response to loading within applicable vehicle limits. BMW xDrive can vary torque distribution between the front and rear axles according to driving conditions and system operation. This all-wheel-drive capability can be relevant when towing on changing road or surface conditions.
Dynamic Stability Control with Hill Descent Control is standard. Hill Descent Control can help maintain a selected low speed on supported descents. Drivers remain responsible for vehicle and trailer control and for operating within applicable towing limits. BMW xDrive all-wheel drive explained
The 2027 BMW X7 is offered in two models.
The BMW X7 xDrive40i is the six-cylinder configuration. It is rated to tow up to 7,500 lbs when properly equipped with the available factory-installed trailer hitch. Maximum torque of 398 lb-ft begins at 1,850 rpm. The xDrive40i has EPA ratings of 21 mpg city and 25 mpg highway.
The BMW X7 M60i produces 523 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque while retaining the same maximum 7,500-lb tow rating when properly equipped. The M60i has a listed highway fuel-economy rating of 21 mpg. Actual fuel economy while towing will vary substantially with trailer weight, speed, terrain, weather, and other conditions. xDrive all-wheel drive is standard across the 2027 BMW X7 lineup.
The 7,500-lb maximum towing rating is one part of determining whether a specific trailer is appropriate for a BMW X7 configuration.
Boat-and-trailer combinations vary substantially in loaded weight. Buyers should compare the trailer’s actual loaded weight and tongue weight with the BMW X7’s applicable ratings before towing.
Travel-trailer weights vary widely by size, construction, equipment, water, cargo, and other factors. The 7,500-lb maximum is a ceiling, not a guarantee that every trailer below that published weight is suitable for a particular vehicle configuration.
Standard two-axle air suspension includes self-leveling functionality that can adjust vehicle ride height in response to loading within applicable limits. Parking Assistant Professional, 3D Surround View, and the rear-view camera provide parking and maneuvering functions according to their respective system limits. The Power Dual-Section tailgate and 90.4 cu ft maximum cargo capacity add cargo flexibility when the trailer is not attached.
The BMW X7 provides seating for up to seven. When towing, passenger weight, cargo, tongue weight, and trailer weight must all remain within the vehicle’s applicable payload, axle, towing, and combination-weight limits.
Both 2027 BMW X7 configurations described here are rated to tow up to 7,500 lbs when properly equipped with the available factory-installed trailer hitch. The BMW X7 xDrive40i pairs that rating with a 375-hp inline-six producing 398 lb-ft of torque. The BMW X7 M60i uses a 523-hp V8 producing 553 lb-ft of torque while retaining the same maximum towing rating. Standard xDrive and two-axle air suspension are included across the lineup. Consumer Reports named the BMW X7 this year’s Best Luxury three-row SUV.
