Expert Answers about Infiniti QX80


  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • Recommended Tire Chains for a 2019 Infiniti QX80 with 275/50-22 Tires
  • Yes, we do offer tire chains for a 2019 Infiniti QX80 with 275/50-22 tires. The Konig Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains part # KON24FR are what I recommend. They install only on top the tire so you won't have any clearance issues. They are also easy to setup and come with a nice case to store them in.

  • 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...

  • Recommended Trailer Connector For 2014 Infiniti QX80
  • I called my contact at Hopkins and they said there should be a wiring connector located behind the rear bumper that a trailer connector can be attached to. I have attached a photo you can check out that may help you be able to identify the connector you would look for. The trailer connector we offer is part # HM40975. This comes with a bracket to attach the connector on your vehicle. When installed this will give you a working 7-way and a working 4-way trailer connector. You can use...

  • 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.

  • Can Roof Rack Tent Be Used on Malone Roof Rack part # MPG216
  • We carry roof rack tents like the Yakima SkyRise # Y07437 which as long as they are installed on a roof rack with a 165 lb capacity have a tent capacity of 600 lbs. The Malone Roof Rack part # MPG216 has a capacity of 165 lbs so it should work well for you.

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Is There a Hitch for a 2017 Infiniti QX80 To Carry Bikes
  • I do have an option to carry bikes on a 2017 Infiniti QX80 but there are no aftermarket trailer hitch options available unfortunately. Instead, I recommend using a trunk mount bike rack, the Thule Gateway PRO 2-Bike Rack part # TH88VR. This is a made in USA option that comes with locks for security.

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2014 Infiniti QX80
  • The best trailer wiring option we have for your 2014 Infiniti QX80 is the ZCI Tekonsha kit part # 119250KIT which is a universal style wiring harness but instead of requiring you to splice into the wires it uses sensors that clamp around the wires.

  • Is The eTrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier Compatible With 34 Fishing Kayak?
  • Our etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier - Folding - Universal Mount Item # e98878 will work with a 34 inch wide fishing kayak!

  • Tire Chains That Fit 2021 Infiniti QX80 with Size 275/60-20
  • Our tire chain fitguide is based on tire sizes that we know fit the chains we offer and also based on tire sizes we know are available for vehicles. So while I don't know what tire size you have on your 2021 Infiniti QX80 I'm fairly confident that the # TH00023050 will not work as it fits tire sizes for wheels that are between 14 and 15 inch in diameter and your vehicle would have 20 inch wheels. Most like your vehicle has the tire size of 275/60-20 which the part # PWE3231S are a fit...
