Expert Answers about Infiniti QX80


  • Will Reese Trailer Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier Fit a 2014 Infiniti QX80
  • The Reese cargo carrier # 63153 is designed to fit 2 inch trailer hitch receiver openings. Provided your 2014 Infiniti QX80 has a 2 inch hitch the carrier will fit the hitch. To determine if the carrier will clear the rear of the vehicle there is 1 important measurement you will need to take. Measure from the center of the hitch pin hole straight back to the distance required to clear the rear of the vehicle. If your measurement is less than 12-3/4 inches, the carrier will clear the rear...

  • Are There Pre-Drilled Holes In Dash On Infiniti QX80 for Trailer Brake Controller
  • I do have some great brake controller options for a 2018 Infiniti QX80 but there aren't any pre-drilled holes or slots in the dash on this vehicle for this purpose. If you don't want to drill into the dash then I recommend the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 which simply mounts outside the vehicle and is then controlled with a mobile device. It does not require any splicing or drilling into the dash therefore there will be no modifications needed. It works with...

  • Weight Distribution for Tongue Weight of 950 lbs to Replace Andersen No Sway Hitch
  • We don't carry the Andersen No Sway Hitch but we have heard more than a few times that it doesn't do well on higher tongue weights like what you have. The best option would be the Reese Strait Line part # RP66084 that you referenced as it has a tongue weight of 600-1,200 lbs and features best sway control at preventing sway before it starts.

  • 2019 Infiniti QX80 Roof Rack and Snowboard/Ski Carrier Recommendations
  • Thank you for the information! To carry a snowboard and ski carrier we need to start with the roof rack with crossbars and for that I recommend the Malone AirFlow2 # MPG216 which clamps around the raised rails on your 2019 Infiniti QX80. Now that we have a roof rack we can install our carrier. I really like the Kuat Grip Ski and Snowboard Carrier # GRR6B you were looking at because it's a larger carrier that can hold more than the average carrier, plus it comes with the slide out feature...

  • Weight Distribution for 8,500 Pound Trailer and 2016 Infiniti QX80 AWD Hydraulic Anti-roll System
  • To choose a weight distribution system you will need to go by the total tongue weight of the set up. This is calculated by taking the tongue weight of the trailer, when loaded and ready to tow, and adding to that the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. If the trailer weighs 8,500 pounds then the tongue weight of just the trailer will be between 850 and 1,275 pounds (10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight). Based on this range I recommend the Reese Strait-Line...

  • Equal-I-Zer or Curt Weight Distribution System Recommendation for 2014 Infiniti QX80
  • All weight distribution systems are going to create quite a bit of noise unfortunately. The amount of tension in the setups and the fact there is a lot of metal to metal friction in all of them under all the tension will create quite a bit of noise. The Equal-I-Zer systems like the part # EQ37100ET you referenced are somewhat noisy but you can quiet them down with the correct lube part # EQ91-00-4250 which helps to keep the noise down quite a bit. This kit would be the much better choice...

  • Roof Rack Crossbar Spreads for a 2017 Infiniti QX80
  • Each roof rack for your 2017 Infiniti QX80 will have its own specific crossbar spread that works best with your QX80. The range of crossbar spreads from the roof racks that we carry are from 45" to 47" from the middle of the front to the middle of the back crossbar. If you don't already have a roof rack on your QX80 I highly recommend going with the Thule WingBar Evo system. This option consists of the 60" WingBar Evo Crossbars, part # TH711500 for Silver or part # TH711520 for Black,...

  • Does Curt Echo Brake Controller Work on 2019 Infiniti QX80
  • I am happy to confirm for you that yes, the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 will absolutely work on your 2019 Infiniti QX80. The Echo is a really good choice because not only does it give you really smooth braking, but it is also the easiest brake controller on the market to use and install. It is controlled with an app on your smartphone, a device that you're already comfortable using so there is not going to be any unfamiliar hardware or poorly-written manual to...

  • The # 20174 cargo carrier taillight kit is indeed compatible with the etrailer # e98874 24 x 60 cargo carrier you purchased, but you'll also need the # e98943 bracket kit. You'll mount the lamps to the brackets, then attach the brackets to the cargo carrier. The videos I linked for you will explain how everything fits together.

  • Drop Shank Recommendation for Curt Weight Distribution
  • I would strongly recommend you go with a shank that offers more drop than the one that comes with the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System # C17500 that you referenced if your trailer is sitting nose high by about 2-1/2 inches with the included shank. The part # C17123 should be perfect as it offers up to 8-1/4 inches of drop, which is more than enough for your setup. Since your loaded tongue weight is right around 800 lbs this system should work very well for you once you get the...

  • Rear Brake(s) on Trailer Get Hot Once in a While
  • I am assuming you have electric brakes? If so there could be a number of reasons why the rear brake(s) on your trailer are getting hot. These reasons include but are not limited to lack of lubrication, spindle nut too tight, improper adjustment, failing brake magnets etc. However, since the issue only occurs every so often then it sounds like you have a wiring/magnet issue. I recommend checking all the wiring and making sure there is not any power on the brake output wire once the brakes...

  • Does Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Fit 2019 Infiniti QX80
  • Yes it will; so long as your 2019 Infiniti QX80 has raised side rails, the Rhino-Rack roof rack will indeed fit, and I verified this for you directly with the manufacturer. The correct fit for your '19 QX80 are the following: - Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 - Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs # RRSX100 You made a really smart choice going with the Rhino-Rack for your Infiniti because it is the best value for a roof rack; Rhino-Rack's quality is equal to similar brands, but at...

  • Per Bike Weight Capacity of Küat Transfer V2 3-Bike Rack
  • The # KU24FR three bike version of the Küat Transfer V2 has a weight capacity of 40 lbs per bike. As you mentioned, the 2 bike version, part # KU84FR has a 60 lb per bike capacity. The Transfer is an excellent bike rack. The U-shaped frame is my favorite feature, it allows you to stand much closer to the rear of the vehicle when loading the inner-most bike onto the rack, which makes it much easier on your back. The rack includes a cable lock for securing the bikes to the rack. If you...

  • Installing A Brake Controller In A 2016 Infinity QX80
  • If you have a factory 7-way on your 2016 Infinity QX80, then you will only need the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers - Nissan and Infiniti # 3050-P to get your Draw-Tite Activator IV Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles - Time Delayed brake controller # 5504 to function correctly. If you do not have the factory 7-way, then you will need to start with a 4 way connection. If you don't already have one, I recommend using the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle...

  • Recommended Towing MIrrors for 2017 Infiniti QX80
  • All of the towing mirrors to fit your 2017 Infiniti QX80 are universal since there aren't any custom mirrors available. My favorite universal style is the K-Source # KS3990 because of the dual lens. It allows you to make additional adjustments to see a wider area you. I've linked a video demonstrating the mirrors on a QX60 for you.

  • Correct Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution Systems for 7K Trailer
  • I recommend the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution System part # BLU87FR which is rated for 10,000 lbs over the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution System part # BLU67FR rated at 8,000 lbs for a 7,000 lb trailer. It's a good idea to select a weight distribution system that is slightly over the tongue weight of the trailer or what you think you need. This is because most people often underestimate their tongue weight and having more capacity giving you more room for error or simply more...
