Has anyone who had their X5 for a long time in the past had any problem towing stuff (trailers or even boats) had reliability issues? What would be your argument against those nay sayers?

That is the first I have heard that the X5 is not capable of towing and obviously that is not true. That of course has nothing to do with whether the X5 meets the original/traditional definition of an SUV or not. Using that one the X5 is a crossover not an SUV. As an aside, I don't think BMW markets the X5 as an SUV but rather an SAV.
