Infiniti QX60 Braked Vs. Unbraked Towing Capacity
All vehicles have different towing capacities based on whether or not you’re towing a trailer that has trailer brakes installed.
Trailer brakes allow the trailer to stop faster than if only the vehicle is using its brakes, allowing the vehicle to tow more weight, so braked towing capacity will always be higher than unbraked towing capacity.
Infiniti QX60 Braked Tow Capacity: up to 3,500 lbs.
Infiniti QX60 Unbraked Tow Capacity: 1,653 lbs / 750 kg
Infiniti QX60 Towing Capacity Factors
There are a few factors that affect the Infiniti QX60 tow capacity.
Model Year
The QX60’s tow capability varied a bit by year and generation.
The early model years had a max towing capability of 5,000 lbs, while later years ranged between 3,500 lbs to 6,000 lbs.
Number of Passengers
A big factor in calculating your vehicle’s towing capacity is how many passengers you’re carrying, which directly calculates into the vehicle’s GCWR.
This is true of all vehicles, not just the Infiniti QX60, so always take into consideration the total load of your passengers and gear in addition to what you’re towing.

Can You Install A Trailer Hitch On a Infiniti QX60?

Depending on what you’re towing, you’re going to need a ball mount (aka a trailer ball hitch) so you can attach items for towing.
Make sure to get the right trailer ball size that matches your hitch and trailer.

Trailer hitches come in different hitch classes, which are rated for different vehicle sizes and weight limits.
The Infiniti QX60 uses a Class 3 hitch.

Infiniti QX60 Trailer Hitch Installation Cost
If you’re considering having a tow hitch added to your QX60, expect to pay between $100 and $200 to have a tow package professionally installed (excluding the cost of the tow hitch and wiring harness).
If you’re handy and looking to save money, you can install the trailer hitch and wiring harness yourself.
Hitch Receiver Vs Rear Step Bumper Towing
Some vehicles allow for bumper towing, which means you can mount a tow hitch ball directly on the bumper instead of installing a tow hitch to the vehicle’s frame.
Can I Bumper Tow With a Infiniti QX60?
The Infiniti QX60 stock bumper is not rated for bumper towing, so you’ll need to install a frame-mounted hitch like the one we listed earlier in this guide or an aftermarket bumper with a hitch ball on it.
How Do I Know If My Infiniti QX60 Has A Tow Package?
You can start by looking under the rear bumper of your QX60 to see if you notice a trailer hitch or trailer ball.
That will give you a good indication of if you have a tow hitch already installed on your QX60.
Another way to research this is by checking the paperwork that came with your vehicle or taking it to a local dealer to see what’s installed.
Make sure to have your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) handy if you call the dealer so they can look up the exact specs and whether or not your vehicle has any towing packages or features installed on it.
