What Is the Towing Capacity of the INFINITI QX80?

The base QX80 is the Luxe 2WD model, which has a towing capacity of 8,500 lbs. In terms of real-world power, this towing capacity is the equivalent of towing a small vehicle, a medium-sized boat, or even a fully loaded trailer camper so you can go glamping. You can even hook up a flat tow trailer to pull motorcycles and ATVs behind your vehicle for your next off-road trip. 

The key to this incredible towing capacity is the massively powerful 5.6L eight-cylinder engine, which boasts an output of 400 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain is matched with a seven-speed automatic transmission. Mechanical features like a brake-actuated limited slip differential for precision cornering power on slick roads and independent front and rear suspensions ensure the ride feel of this SUV is as soft as a cloud, even on bumpy terrain.

Exterior Features

While towing capacity is a major consideration if you anticipate hauling heavy loads, other exterior features are also important to look at. The Luxe 2WD model is equipped with standard LED fog lights and LED low-high beam headlights that enhance your view of the road in different weather and lighting conditions. The QX80 also has a first-row moonroof for a touch of luxury and so you can enjoy getting some air while you’re driving down the road. 

This INFINITI SUV sits higher than most models with a 9.2-inch ground clearance. To help you enter the vehicle more easily, this model has standard running boards and a rear bumper step. A power open/close cargo area is also a standard feature and can be controlled by the key fob. 

Interior Features

The Luxe 2WD trim has a seven-passenger seating capacity with heated first-row seats and standard leather seating material throughout the cabin. Convenience features like an auto-dimming rearview mirror and rain-sensing windshield wipers are also standard. This model has a 7-inch digital cluster on the dashboard for real-time vehicle status updates and a 12.3-inch multimedia touchscreen.

Entertainment is endless with this model thanks to an impressive 13-speaker Bose audio system. Connectivity features include Alexa Built-In, a voice-activated integrated navigation system, Bluetooth audio and phone features, and wireless access to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. 

A full-size SUV like the QX80 can be perfect for your weekend adventures, particularly if you need a vehicle with plenty of seating for your big family and a large towing capacity. This SUV also has incredible convenience and entertainment features for the whole family to enjoy. Check out this INFINITI SUV when you visit DARCARS INFINITI of Greenwich.
