Hitch and Towing Capacity Recommendation for a 2014 Infinity QX70
Products Featured in This Question
Question:
The 2014 Infiniti QX70 or 2013 FX37 list their towing capacity with the OEM tow package at 2,000 lbs. You list it as 4,000 lbs with your different hitch options. Can this vehicle tow 4,000 lbs or will it be limited to the manufacturers original 2,000lbs? Thanks,

Expert Reply:
When determining the overall towing capacity of a vehicle you must always go with the lowest rated component as the overall capacity since the setup is only as strong as it's weakest component.
The Curt Hitch part # 13554 can handle 4,000 lbs of trailer, but your vehicle can only handle 2,000 so 2,000 lbs would be your overall capacity.
If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included to the right that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
