Frequently Asked Questions
How much can the INFINITI QX50 tow?
While the INFINITI QX50 towing capacity is a maximum of 3,000 pounds,1 we must note that the model has been discontinued. The 2025 INFINITI QX50 was the final form for this SUV; you may be able to find some 2025 model-year stock in our new SUV inventory, but otherwise, you will need to search our used SUVs to get into the tow-capable, two-row INFINITI QX50.
How much can the INFINITI QX55 tow?
Like the QX50, the INFINITI QX55 was discontinued after the 2025 model year. While its name has a higher number, the QX55 towing capacity is, technically, infinitely lower, as this model is not rated for towing. While you can't tow with an INFINITI QX55, you can find plenty of utility with one, including a Lifestyle Receiver that lets you carry bikes or other light loads on the back of the vehicle.
How much can the INFINITI QX60 tow?
Carrying the INFINITI towing specs forward into the 2027 model year, the QX60 towing capacity is a maximum of 6,000 pounds.1 As a three-row luxury crossover, the QX60 is a strong utility vehicle for the family while still being easy for you to drive. For example, if all seats are occupied, you'll still have 14.5 cubic feet of rear cargo room to take care of storage.
How much can the INFINITI QX65 tow?
The latest member of the INFINITI SUV family is one of its boldest; the ultra-sleek two-row INFINITI QX65 towing capacity is the same as its three-row brother, letting you tow up to 6,000 pounds1 in style. Plus, with 35.8 cubic feet of cargo room behind its rear seats, the QX65 SUV's INFINITI towing specs are only the beginning of its ability to fit your lifestyle.
How much can the INFINITI QX80 tow?
The largest INFINITI SUV also has the strongest INFINITI towing specs: the QX80 towing capacity rating is a staggering 8,500 pounds,1 letting you haul a sizeable camper or boat to your next summer getaway. The cabin of the QX80 is as spacious as its engine is strong, seating up to eight occupants while still offering 20.4 cubic feet of rear cargo room with all seats loaded up.
How can you tow safely with an INFINITI SUV?
The most crucial detail for safely towing with an INFINITI SUV is that you must not tow with the vehicle until the odometer shows more than 500 miles. This is a part of your INFINITI vehicle's break-in period; once it's over, the SUV will be ready to tow. Additionally, practice maneuvering and reversing with a trailer somewhere private and safe before you attempt to do so on public roads.
How will my driving be affected when I'm towing with my INFINITI SUV?
Your INFINITI SUV will be heavier and longer when you're towing with it, which means that you'll need to be much more cautious with your driving. For example, sudden lane change maneuvers can unsettle a trailer, so you'll need to be more aware of your surroundings than usual. Your INFINITI SUV will accelerate and brake less effectively, which adds to the need for caution.
How do I know if my INFINITI SUV is ready for the rigors of the road?
Every INFINITI SUV is extensively tested to ensure it is ready for the rigors of the road, including towing. The current INFINITI QX60 model, for example, was put through the gauntlet at the brand's Arizona Testing Center, towing a 22-foot Airstream travel trailer across a multitude of harsh conditions. Other INFINITI SUVs receive similar testing and can be trusted with daily driving, family adventures, and everything in between.

INFINITI Towing vs. Competing SUVs
The INFINITI towing specs are already impressive across the board. When you compare them to competing models, they get even more impressive, especially when you focus on the INFINITI QX60 and QX65.
Starting with the INFINITI QX60, this type of vehicle (a midsize, three-row crossover) usually can't go past 5,000 pounds of towing capacity; the INFINITI QX60 outclasses this average by four figures, thanks to its 6,000-pound maximum towing capacity.1
The Acura MDX, Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, Ford Explorer, Honda Pilot, Hyundai Palisade, Kia Telluride, Lexus TX, Mazda CX-90, Subaru Ascent, Toyota Highlander, and Volkswagen Atlas are all limited to a 5,000-pound maximum towing capacity when properly equipped, falling 1,000 pounds short of the INFINITI QX60 towing capacity.1
One of the only size-segment members that can keep up is the Nissan Pathfinder, which also has a 6,000-pound towing capacity when properly equipped. However, this isn't even really a competition, as the Pathfinder and QX60 are brand-group cousins built on the same intelligently designed platform; the QX60 ups the ante for luxury significantly, while still maintaining the Pathfinder SUV's significant towing capacity, which is a feat in and of itself.
Since the INFINITI QX65 also has a 6,000-pound towing capacity,1 but instead stands in the two-row luxury SUV world, it is even more impressive. It beats all the aforementioned competitors with the same advantage as the QX60. And since those were three-row SUVs, it's rather embarrassing for them to lose to a two-row model by that much. None of that even touches upon the style, performance, and luxury advantages in the QX60 and QX65, as well as other INFINITI SUV models.
Discover INFINITI Towing Features That Make Hauling Easier
The INFINITI towing capacity specs are only the beginning of the impressive feats these SUVs are capable of. While we'll save all the luxury-based details for you to discover on your test drive, you should know that every INFINITI SUV that can tow will be available with several features that make the task easier, safer, and more enjoyable overall.
For starters, the INFINITI QX60 towing capacity is bolstered by technologies like Tow Mode, which adapts the vehicle's powertrain to better handle heavy loads. Trailer Sway Control is also offered, helping to make the drive more stable and secure. These features are also offered in the QX80.
The INFINITI QX80 towing features, however, go further, as the SUV's towing capacity is higher. For example, attaching the trailer is easier thanks to the Rear Zoom View feature, the Blind Spot Monitor can be enhanced with a Trailer Blind Spot Warning feature, and confidence is maximized with a thorough Trailer Stability Assist system.
