INFINITI QX80 Engine Specs
The INFINITI QX80 towing capacity partially relies on its frame. However, its strength wouldn't be possible without a powerful engine and durable transmission.
Look under the hood, and you'll find a 5.6-liter V-8 engine making a hefty 400 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque. It is paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission for smooth shifting. This bold luxury SUV offers advanced driving features and impressive acceleration, making your time at the wheel engaging and fun.
This commanding SUV offers standard two-wheel drive and delivers gas mileage with up to an EPA-estimated 14/20/16 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)1 when fueled with premium gas. Four-wheel drive models achieve an EPA-estimated 13/19/15 MPG (City/Highway/Combined)1 with the same fuel.
The INFINITI QX80 Towing Capacity
So this steel frame, engine, and transmission are what make it possible to see an INFINITI QX80 towing a boat, but just how heavy a boat can it tow? Regardless of your chosen trim level and drivetrain, the INFINITI QX80 towing capacity is 8,500 pounds when properly equipped.
Most boat styles fall into this weight range. The INFINITI QX80 towing capacity can also accommodate a large camper. If you're a motorsports enthusiast, this towing capacity can likely carry your weekend racecar project on a trailer (with your equipment, too). Our QX60 vs. QX80 comparison shows that even the smaller INFINITI QX60 can tow up to 6,000 pounds.2
INFINITI QX80 Performance Features
The best towing SUV has to have more than just a strong towing capacity. It must blend strength with confidence-inspiring innovations. To complement your INFINITI QX80 towing capacity, the model can include:
Tow Mode
Towing puts extra stress on your transmission. That is why the INFINITI QX80 release included a tow mode. It optimizes your shift points to handle this stress and makes accelerating with a trailer easier and more maneuverable.
Hydraulic Body Motion Control
Towing also affects your vehicle's suspension. The increased weight can increase undesirable body roll when turning corners. The innovative available Hydraulic Body Motion Control system will adapt the suspension accordingly to keep your INFINITI QX80 driving smoothly as you take corners while towing.
Trailer Sway Control
Hop in your INFINITI QX80, pull a horse trailer, and enjoy the serene cabin. The typical stresses of trailer towing involve added wind resistance, which can, in turn, destabilize your trailer. Not so with an INFINITI QX80; trailer sway control comes standard to help reduce excess trailer motion, letting you focus on the road ahead.
INFINITI Intelligent Around View Monitor
Another stress of trailer-towing is not being able to get a full view of your trailer while hitching it up or while in motion. The available Intelligent Around View Monitor will give you great visibility at all times to help soothe this worry. You can find this helpful feature on a new INFINITI QX60 for sale as well.
