Can You Tow With The INFINITI QX60?

If you’re in the market for a three-row family SUV with stout hauling capability, you should take a look at the 2023 INFINITI QX60. It offers powerful performance, a luxurious and spacious cabin, and state-of-the-art tech and safety features. But, can you tow with the INFINITI Q60? The answer is yes.

This stylish SUV can tow up to 6,000 pounds when properly equipped, making a QX60 from Herrin-Gear INFINITI in Jackson the ideal all-around family vehicle. With the available all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, you can haul the kids and your gear, and tow your toys on your family vacations or weekend adventures.

INFINITI Q60 Powertrain

At Herrin-Gear INFINITI, the 2023 QX60 is available in Pure, Luxe, Sensory, and Autograph trim levels. Each model comes standard with front-wheel drive, or you can opt for an intelligent AWD system for confident driving, whatever the Mississippi weather throws at you.

Enabling the QX60’s superb towing capability is the powerful 3.5-liter V-6 direct-injection engine that delivers 295 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque. It’s matched with a seamlessly shifting nine-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters that give you fingertip control on the Jackson area roads.

With front-wheel drive, the QX60 will return up to 21 mpg around the Jackson city streets, while highway driving rewards you with up to 26 mpg. AWD models return up to 20 mpg and 25 mpg for city and highway driving.

How Much Can the QX60 Tow?

The robust QX60 powertrain gives the SUV a standard towing capacity of up to 3,500 pounds. Optional on the AWD Sensory trim and standard on AWD Autograph models is a tow package that increases the QX60’s maximum towing capacity to an impressive 6,000 pounds. That’s enough to tow an average camper, a boat, ATV, or jet skis on your adventures.

The tow package includes tow pre-wiring, a tow hitch member and receiver, and a tow electronic control unit. Vehicles equipped with the tow package also get a Trailer Stability Program (TSP). This system detects if your trailer starts to sway from side to side and can systematically apply the brakes to correct the vehicle’s path and prevent further swaying.

The TSP works alongside the QX60’s vehicle dynamic control and traction control systems and the anti-lock braking system with its brake assist and electronic brake force distribution. These systems help keep you in control, whether or not you’re towing a trailer on the Mississippi roads.

QX60 Towing Tips

While the QX60 offers superb towing capability, INFINITI recommends breaking in your vehicle gently before you start towing, or you could damage the engine, axle, or other components. The manufacturer advises that you don’t tow a trailer or carry a heavy load for the first 500 miles.

If you do tow a trailer during the first 500 miles or so, don’t drive at more than 50 mph, and don’t try to pull away at full throttle. These precautions help the engine and other parts of your vehicle wear in gently for hauling heavier loads. Before towing a trailer for the first time with your QX60, read the complete INFINITI towing guide for tips and safety advice for a safer and more rewarding experience.

Interior Space and Comfort

As well as excellent towing capacities, the QX60’s roomy upscale cabin features plenty of interior space and versatile seating that enables you to make the most of your passenger and cargo capacity. With the standard second-row bench seat, it can seat up to seven people, while the available second-row captain’s chairs give you seating for six.

Behind the third row, the QX60 has a 14.5 cubic-foot cargo area for your gear. With the third-row seats folded flat, you get 41.6 cubic feet of cargo space, while folding all the rear seats gives you a generous 75.4 cubic feet. Accessing your gear is simple and convenient with the hands-free power liftgate. Whether you carry more people or cargo, nobody and nothing needs to be left behind.

In the QX60, passengers are accommodated in spacious, comfortable, and supportive leather-upholstered seating, making any journey a pleasure. As standard, you get heated power-adjustable front seats and a leather-wrapped heated steering wheel. The second row slides forward to provide easy access to the third row. Tri-zone automatic climate control ensures the perfect temperature for all passengers.

A standard power panoramic moonroof gives the cabin a light and airy ambiance. The Luxe trim adds heated and ventilated front seats, while Sensory models have massaging front seats and heated rear seats. The range-topping Autograph trim tops off the luxury with quilted semi-aniline leather upholstery.

QX60 Keeps You Connected

In the QX60, everyone can stay connected with the latest infotainment system. It offers a 12.3-inch central touch screen, Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay integration, a Wi-Fi hotspot, voice recognition, and Bluetooth for media streaming and hands-free calling and messaging. With up to seven USB ports located throughout all three rows, nobody’s mobile device should run flat. The high-quality nine-speaker sound system features satellite and HD radio technology.
