The table below lists every trim of the 2022 BMW X7 with the engine, drivetrain, axle ratio, horsepower, torque, GVWR, curb weight, and payload that go with that trim's headline tow rating. Manufacturers often publish more than one tow figure per truck — a conventional bumper-hitch rating, a weight-distributing rating, and a gooseneck or fifth-wheel rating — so the highest number here is the maximum across all hitch classes the source carries for the trim.

Per-trim breakdown

M50i Sport Utility 4D V8, Twin Turbo, 4.4 Liter 523 553 7,500 5,661
ALPINA XB7 Sport Utility 4D V8, Twin Turbo, 4.4 Liter 612 590 7,500 5,860

How to interpret the headline tow figure

Tow ratings at this level are normally achievable with a conventional Class II or Class III receiver hitch. Always verify your vehicle has the manufacturer's tow package installed if you intend to tow at the upper end of the rating, and inspect the door-jamb sticker for the actual maximum permitted on your specific configuration.

How this year compares to 2021

The 2021 BMW X7 carried a maximum tow rating of 7,500 lb. The 2022 model carries the same headline figure — manufacturers usually leave the rating alone year-over-year unless there's a powertrain or hitch change. See the 2021 BMW X7 page for the full per-trim breakdown of the prior year.
