Expert Answers about Infiniti QX56


  • Roof Rack System for Thule Hullavator Pro Load Assist Kayak Carrier
  • Both the Thule Hullavator # TH898 and the Yakima ShowDown # Y04081 are great kayak carriers but I prefer the Hullavator. Regardless of age, after a day of paddling the lift assist is awesome when it comes to helping you load your boat on top of your roof. You do need 4"-8" of overhang on your roof rack for this carrier to work. Your current roof rack on your 2010 Infiniti QX56 will not work. The only confirmed fit for your vehicle is a Thule Roof Rack system like Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars...

  • Will Thule Canyon XT Cargo Box Fit in Top Channel of Rhino Rack Roof Rack
  • Thule and Rhino Rack crossbar channels are the same dimension so your Thule Trail XT like the part # TH864XT would fit in the channels of the Rhino Rack roof rack part # JA7965 that you referenced. This rack is a confirmed fit for your 2011 Infiniti QX56 with raised roof rails as well.

  • Recommended Battery Charge Line for 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk Being Flat Towed
  • Your 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk does not require a charge line, but I always recommend it because it will maintain your battery without a risk of overcharging it. For the kit, I recommend the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25. I like using the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 for that function connection to be clean and easy from your tow vehicle. Let me know if you have further questions.

  • Recommendations on SAE Class S Snow Tire Chains for 2011 Infiniti QX56 with P275/60R20 Tires
  • I would recommend the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains, item # PW3027C, for the P275/60R20 tire size on your 2011 Infiniti QX56. This snow tire cable chain is a SAE Class S type chain. A SAE Class S snow tire chain means that the minimum sidewall clearance is .59 inches, which is 15 mm. So if a snow chain has an internal clearance of 15 mm or less they will be classified as a SAE Class S snow chain. The sidewall clearance is needed so that the snow chains will clear any part of the vehicle...

  • Recommended Sway Control for Towing Aluminum Shadow 2 Horse Trailer
  • Based on your trailer, a weight distribution system won't work well. Because it is all aluminum you would still be protected by powder coat, but you would need to drill into the frame because it is enclosed. Based on the photo you attached, I really think you will be limited by space. Check your measurements against the trunnion bar lengths of around 30 inches. You will need brackets to fall around 25-27 inches in most cases. If you were to decide to use weight distribution, I recommend...

  • How to Get Trailer Level When Parked on Decline
  • Instead of using an uneven, unreliable piece of wood, I recommend checking out the Ultra-Fab Leveling Blocks # UF48-979051. These blocks are 8-1/4" wide x 8-1/4" long x 7/8" tall and you can position them under your jack and/or wheels to get your trailer level; there is also the option of using independent electric jacks, though that is an expensive upgrade and these blocks should work to get you level. I've added links to video reviews of these blocks for you to check out as well.

  • Cargo Crossbars With Highest Weight Rating for 2012 Infinity QX56
  • According to my research the maximum capacity of your 2012 Infinity QX56 roof is 200 pounds. There are not aftermarket crossbar feet - they are custom to the crossbar rail and roof rails. You can replace your crossbars with the Malone # MPG202 crossrails that have the highest weight rating at 165 pounds. These crossbars will attach directly to your front to back roof rails. I have attached a video review of this product.

  • Brake Controller and Transmission Cooler for a 2010 Infiniti QX56
  • I will be happy to help. Starting with a brake controller we have many options but one controller stands out as my personal favorite, the P2, # 90885. This is our best selling controller of all time because it is easy to set up and use and it is reliable. Installing it depends on how your 2010 Infiniti QX56 is set up. If your QX56 came with a factory installed 7-Way trailer connector at the back you can use wiring harness # 3050-P with the brake controller. If it does not have a trailer...

  • Brake Controller and Install Harness Recommendation for a 2012 Infiniti QX56
  • For your 2012 Infiniti QX56 that has a factory 7-way all you need to install a brake controller is the correct install harness. For that you would want the part # 3050-P to install a Tekonsha brake controller. For a brake controller I would recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle...
