How Much is 4,400 lbs.?
If you are having trouble visualizing how much 4,400 lbs. is, think of it as 2.2 tons. Converted to metric, that means almost 2,000 kg. If you imagine that a normal bag of topsoil weighs about 40 lbs., that means you could load 100 bags of topsoil onto a light trailer and haul it wherever you need to take it. Here is another way to visualize it, you could load around 500 gallons of water (not including the weight of the containers) in a light trailer and carry it behind your BMW X3.
How Much Weight Can the 2020 BMW X3 Haul?
When you do not have a trailer, you cannot carry nearly as much weight inside the X3. If you need to take some heavy cargo in your X3, be sure the total load is less than 850 lbs. and you will be safe. The lower trim level can handle up to 893 lbs. at most, but it is always best to stay on the cautious side.
