    It really bothers me when I see people towing trailers that are not level. What is so hard about getting the proper ball mount? I have one for boat and one for utility trailer.

    My wife has a QX56 and I can guarantee that the rear air suspension just took a dump in that photo. As someone who has one of these vehicles in his driveway I can assure you it is a beast at towing. Infinity really knocked it out of the ballpark with these. I LOVE it when my wife parks me in and I take her SUV instead of the Tundra. Trust me guys it's nice.

    The smallest RedLine Toyhauler starts at 4k lbs dry weight with a 700 lb dry tongue weight. I doubt the SUV is capable of that. Probably why his air bags may have failed.

    The pitch of the trailer's roofline makes me think it's a toy hauler without a load to help offset the trailer's tongue weight.

    So someone identified that as a QX80 which has a tow rating of 8,500 lbs and a tongue weight of 800 lbs. It should only have a 1 in droop

    I’m willing to bet that towing like that was just as scary as watching it.
