2027 INFINITI SUVs Ranked by Towing Capacity in Alberta
2027 INFINITI SUVs Ranked by Towing Capacity in Alberta
Posted on July 8, 2026
Towing is one of the first questions buyers ask when shopping for a luxury SUV. A boat, a camper, a horse trailer or a utility trailer full of gear all need a vehicle that pulls the weight without strain. INFINITI’s 2027 lineup covers three SUVs, and each one carries a towing rating of at least 6,000 lbs (2,722 kg) when properly equipped.
This guide ranks the 2027 INFINITI QX80, QX60 and QX65 by maximum towing capacity, then looks at the engine, drivetrain and trailering technology behind each number. The goal is a clear picture of which INFINITI matches the trailer you plan to pull.
At a Glance: 2027 INFINITI Towing Capacity Ranked
| Rank | Model | Max towing (properly equipped) | Engine | Drive |
| 1 | 2027 INFINITI QX80 | 8,500 lbs (3,856 kg) | 3.5 L twin-turbo V6, 450 hp / 516 lb-ft | INFINITI All-Mode 4WD |
| 2 | 2027 INFINITI QX60 | 6,000 lbs (2,722 kg) | 2.0 L VC-Turbo 4-cylinder, 268 hp / 286 lb-ft | Intelligent All-Wheel Drive |
| 3 | 2027 INFINITI QX65 | 6,000 lbs (2,722 kg) | 2.0 L VC-Turbo 4-cylinder, 268 hp / 286 lb-ft | Intelligent All-Wheel Drive |
The QX60 and QX65 share the same 6,000 lbs (2,722 kg) rating. The QX60 sits ahead in this ranking because it is the three-row model of the pair, which matters for families hauling both people and a trailer. Buyers who prefer a two-row fastback profile get the same pulling power in the QX65.
#1: 2027 INFINITI QX80, 8,500 lbs (3,856 kg)
The QX80 leads the lineup with a towing rating of 8,500 lbs (3,856 kg) when properly equipped. That capacity comes from a body-on-frame design and a 3.5 L twin-turbocharged V6 rated at 450 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. A 9-speed automatic transmission with a wide gear ratio range handles the load, and INFINITI All-Mode 4WD is standard on every grade.
The QX80 also carries the most complete set of trailering equipment in the lineup. An integrated Class IV tow hitch with a 7-pin wiring harness is standard, and so are Trailer Sway Control, Trailer Blind Spot Warning and Trailer Back-Up Assist on LUXE, SPORT and AUTOGRAPH. The drive mode selector includes a dedicated Tow setting that adjusts powertrain response, steering, driver-assistance features, the Dynamic Digital Suspension and the 4WD system for hauling. Electronic Air Suspension is standard as well, and it can lower the vehicle when parked to make hitching and loading easier.
Seating runs to eight passengers on LUXE and seven on SPORT and AUTOGRAPH, so the QX80 handles a full cabin and a heavy trailer on the same trip.
#2: 2027 INFINITI QX60, 6,000 lbs (2,722 kg)
The three-row QX60 is rated to tow up to 6,000 lbs (2,722 kg) when properly equipped. Power comes from a 2.0 L Variable Compression Turbo (VC-Turbo) 4-cylinder engine producing 268 hp and 286 lb-ft of torque, matched to a 9-speed automatic with standard paddle shifters. Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is standard on LUXE, SPORT and AUTOGRAPH.
The VC-Turbo engine is tuned to deliver its torque in the low-to-mid rpm range, which is where a trailer puts the most demand on the powertrain. The QX60 also returns an NRCan estimate of 10.9 L/100 km city, 8.8 L/100 km highway and 10.0 L/100 km combined, so daily driving stays efficient between trailer trips.
Inside, LUXE and SPORT seat seven with a 60/40-split sliding second-row bench, while AUTOGRAPH seats six with second-row captain’s chairs. A multi-mode second-row seat with one-touch release keeps third-row entry simple even when the cargo area is loaded for a trip.
#3: 2027 INFINITI QX65, 6,000 lbs (2,722 kg)
The QX65 is the newest member of the 2027 lineup, a two-row fastback SUV with the same 6,000 lbs (2,722 kg) towing rating as the QX60 when properly equipped. It uses the same 2.0 L VC-Turbo engine, rated at 268 hp and 286 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic. In the QX65, the transmission carries a sportier shift schedule for stronger off-the-line response and merging. Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is standard.
Trailering hardware is built into the grade structure:
- QX65 SPORT includes a tow hitch and pre-harness with Trailer Sway Control as part of its standard Premium Package.
- QX65 AUTOGRAPH includes a standard Tow Package with tow hitch member, pre-harness, trailer harness plug and Trailer Sway Control.
- The available Technology Package on AUTOGRAPH adds ProPILOT Assist 2.1 and 3D Around View Monitor with spin capability alongside the tow hitch.
With 1,014 litres of cargo space behind the second row, the QX65 pairs its towing rating with room for gear inside the cabin.
Which 2027 INFINITI Should You Tow With?
Match the vehicle to the trailer weight first, then to the passenger count.
A travel trailer, a larger boat or any load that goes beyond a 6,000 lbs (2,722 kg) rating calls for the QX80. Its 8,500 lbs (3,856 kg) capacity, twin-turbo V6 torque and standard trailer camera and sway systems are built for that job.
A tent trailer, a small boat, a pair of snowmobiles or a utility trailer under 6,000 lbs (2,722 kg) fits the QX60 or QX65. Choose the QX60 for three rows and up to seven seats. Choose the QX65 for a two-row layout, a fastback profile and the sportier transmission tuning.
Every rating above applies when the vehicle is properly equipped, so confirm the hitch and package details for the grade you are considering.
