When fall rolls around and the weather in Melbourne, FL finally starts to cool off, it's the perfect time to hitch up a trailer, load the family in, and head out for a weekend of fun. The 2026 INFINITI QX80’s towing capacity of up to 8,500 pounds makes it more than ready for that kind of adventure. If you're pulling a boat to the St. Johns River or towing a camper up toward the Florida Panhandle, this full-size luxury SUV has the muscle to handle it. Under the hood, the QX80 is powered by a 3.5L V6 twin-turbo engine producing 450 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed transmission. That powertrain combination gives you capability without feeling like you're pushing the vehicle to its limits. It's the kind of reassurance you want when you're towing a trailer down a busy highway. A Frame Built for the Long Haul The 2026 INFINITI QX80 towing capacity doesn't come from the engine alone. The QX80 rides on a stronger frame with 57% greater lateral stiffness compared to its predecessor, which means it stays stable even when you're hauling trailers up to 33 feet in length. An integrated tow hitch comes standard, so you're ready to go without needing to add aftermarket hardware. Drive Modes That Keep You in Control The QX80's Drive Mode Selector will help keep you in control no matter what the conditions are like. With six available settings - Standard, Eco, Sport, Snow, Tow, and Personal - you can dial in the right powertrain behavior for whatever conditions you're facing. Tow Mode fine-tunes throttle response and transmission shift points to keep things smooth and predictable when you're pulling a heavy load. The INFINITI All-Mode 4WD system optimizes grip and stability across varying road surfaces. If you're on a freshly paved highway or a rougher back road on the way to a campsite, the QX80 adapts to keep you grounded. Technology That Supports Every Adventure The 2026 INFINITI QX80 towing capacity is impressive, but so is the technology backing up your drive. The Adjustable Height Air Suspension automatically lowers the vehicle when parked, making it easier to load gear into the cargo area - all 101 cu ft of it. Invisible Hood View helps you line up your trailer hitch with greater precision, while Front Wide View gives you a 180-degree view ahead for navigating tight turns or crowded campgrounds. Inside, up to 8 passengers can settle into a spacious three-row cabin equipped with a 14.3-in touchscreen, Klipsch® premium audio, wireless Apple CarPlay® integration, Google built-in, and a Wi-Fi hotspot to keep everyone connected on the road.
