Welcome dude!! :D From a fellow sportbike and trackday enthusiast myself, lol (see my intro thread a couple posts down)

 

Can't really help ya out with your questions as I just bought mine on Friday, and sounds like for about the same reasons.... towing my bike to trackdays, camping out in the back, etc. Seemed like a good vehicle for it so I guess I'll find out. Good luck in your search!

Hay Darth (sportbike guy).

 

We’ve used our 08 to tow our Kawasaki Vulcan to Colorado a couple of times.

Round trip about 1300 miles.

We used a Uhaul trailer + stuff =’s 2K+ lbs.

Zero problems, the MKX without trailer goes over Raton pass @ 65 ish mph.

The trailer pulled us down to 50 mph. But runs 65 or so in the flat lands.

I’ve ridden about the same miles as thirdgenlxi has BUT it’s taken me 4 decades.
