load/specification” chart even if the calcu-

WARNING
The towing capacities provided in this
manual are for general reference only.
The safe towing capacity of your vehicle
is affected by retailer and factory in-
stalled options and passenger and cargo
loads. You must weigh the vehicle and
trailer as described in this manual to
determine the actual vehicle towing
capacity. Do not exceed the published
maximum towing capacity, or the GCWR
or the GVWR shown on the F.M.V.S.S./
C.M.V.S.S. certification label. Doing so
can result in an accident causing serious
personal injury or property damage.

1: The towing capacity values are calculated assuming a base vehicle with driver and any
options required to achieve the rating. Additional passengers, cargo and/or optional
equipment will add weight to the vehicle and reduce your vehicle’s maximum towing
capacity.
2: Use of a weight-distributing hitch system is recommended when towing over 5,000 lb (2,267 kg).
TOWING SAFETY
Trailer hitch
Your vehicle is equipped with a trailer tow
package. The trailer tow package includes a
receiver-type frame mounted hitch. This
hitch is rated for the maximum towing
capacity of this vehicle when the proper
towing equipment is used. Choose a proper
ball mount and hitch ball that is rated for the
trailer to be towed. Genuine INFINITI ball
mounts and hitch balls are available from an
INFINITI retailer.
