How Much Can Each INFINITI QX Tow?

While not everyone buys an SUV to tow, it’s nice to know what the capabilities of your new vehicle are for a time when you may need to tow. For instance, if you are moving your kid to college, simply hook up a small U-Haul trailer, and you can haul all you need. Or maybe you want an INFINITI QX80 to have immense luxury and the ability to tow a boat or horse trailer. There are plenty of reasons why you may want to tow with your INFINITI, and each model is able to tow a good amount.  

Towing Capacity and Tongue Weight Information 

In this article we will be talking about the maximum towing capacities of each INFINITI model, plus the tongue weight for each. Tongue weight is the amount of force pushing down on the trailer hitch of your vehicle. It is crucial that you do not go over this weight limit, which is usually about 10-15% of the towing capacity number. Exceeding the max tongue weight for the hitch can cause the trailer to become unstable.  

How Much Does the QX50 Tow? 

The 2025 INFINITI QX50 is the entry-level crossover SUV of the INFINITI brand. Owners can tow to up to 3,000 pounds when properly equipped; it has a tongue weight of 300 pounds. Starting from $44,350, buyers can choose between the Pure, Luxe, and Sport trim levels. All models are powered by a VC-Turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that has 268 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque that puts power to the wheels via an Xtronic CVT. The 2025 model sees all-wheel drive become standard on all trim levels.  

How Much Does the QX55 Tow? 

The QX55 is basically a coupe-like version of the QX50 and is able to tow right at 1,058 pounds with a tongue weight of 300 pounds. The QX55 starts from $51,500. It’s also powered by the same VC-Turbo engine with the same power and torque figures, along with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The QX55 also comes standard with all-wheel drive and is available in Luxe, Essential, and Sensory trim levels. While the QX55 isn’t really set up for towing, it can still handle a small trailer if you are moving some furniture, home appliances, and the like. 

How Much Does the QX60 Tow? 

Stepping up to the larger QX60 sees the capabilities grow. INFINITI says the QX60 can tow up to 6,000 pounds with a tongue weight of roughly 600 pounds when equipped with Intelligent AWD. Standard front-wheel-drive (FWD) models have a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. Thanks to the nine-speed automatic transmission and a standard transmission cooler, the QX60 can tow well and comfortably. Depending on how loaded you have the INFINITI, you will be able to tow everything from boats, jet skis, a horse, and even different types of cars. Buyers can choose from Pure, Luxe, Sensory, and Autograph trim levels.  

How Much Does the QX80 Tow? 

Finally, the flagship, the all-new 2025 QX80, has a maximum towing capacity of 8,500 pounds with a tongue weight of 850 pounds. Like the QX60, the QX80 benefits from a nine-speed transmission and features the unique Trailer Blind Spot Warning that works when towing trailers as long as 33 feet. The QX80 starts from $84,445 and comes in Pure, Luxe, Sensory, and Autograph. For the first time ever, there is a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 under the hood that delivers 450 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque.
