Class III Hitch Recommended for 2018 BMW X3
Question:
I am looking for a class 3 hitch capable of towing at least 4,400 lb, which is the car towing capacity. Currently there is a class 2 hitch installed. But I need to tow a boat, which when combined with the trailer, weighs about 4,000 lb. Thank you for your help,

Expert Reply:
I'd recommend the Draw-Tite Class III hitch, part # 76226 which has a 5000 lb towing capacity/750 lb tongue weight capacity which would be perfect for the boat you mentioned.
For a trailer wiring harness, use # C59236. For a ball mount, use # D-28 along with a # PC3 hitch pin. For a trailer ball, use # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 63845 for a 2 inch.
