In this video, we take a Can-Am Defender 6x6 for a proper cleaning after a hard day's work at the ranch. But what can we tow use to tow it to the car wash? We just so happen to have a 2021 Infiniti QX80 at our HQ, so we see just how well the plush luxury SUV can get its hands dirty towing 5,000 pounds.

Of course it will... v8 full frame SUV. I used to tow 10000 lbs with my father's 98 Lincoln Navigator with only 230 horse. never skipped a beat.
The QX80 is extremely popular here in Houston and I imagine Texas in general. They’re a dime a dozen in the ritzy neighborhoods.
Behind the scenes are like regular life. Be safe.
Could use a simple bungee strap to prevent those from flopping around so much. Also consider a wheel or tire strap instead to reduce the risk of suspension bouncing your tie straps off.
I really didn't expect to see a day that a company is more luxurious than it's luxury division...damn
I always thought that you should tie off on the suspension rather than the machine. The movement of the machine could loosen and tug on the straps rather than the suspension that will not move.
If ratch it down tight enough you should be able to fully compressor the suspension
Lol its funny when you all cant remember what channel you're on for the day. Love em all though.
QX80 can tow a 747 jumbo with all the right gear , its a beast
If you think spraying off a vehicle is "cleaning" it, then you don't really have OCD.
50 seconds in and I had to cringe, get those straps on the inside of the rub rail or that CDL adventure will be for not sir😉 good video once again everyone!!!
You can't move ratchet near the end of strap instead of in the middle?
The fact USA doesn't use amber light for turn light make it WORST on trailering. Using the same module for running light, brake & turn is not only confusing but dangerous. I never understood why NHTSA doesn't change that.
It is not confusing if it is bright they are braking, since no one uses blinkers you don't need to worry about that. If you see a red light it is the back of the vehicle, if you see amber it is the front and coming towards you, not hard to figure out.
I agree all red for the rear makes sense to me
Did he forget the safety chains today?
The 2021 Armada is looking pretty good compared to the QX80. Your move, Infiniti!
There literally the same damn vehicle.
@@lsjionredlinesupercharged2049 for sure! Not much incentive to spend the extra coin and buy the QX80 over the Armada.
Armada designers were so lazy to differ the vehicle from the QX80. Very poor design team to create both vehicles basically the same exact way. Yes I know both vehicles are made by Nissan. But the designers sucks on the Armada's part making the vehicle interior and exterior basically the same exact thing with different price tags.
Shut up about the damn straps Roman, they work fine and they are a genius solution to a simple annoying problem. Plus, Andre literally told you how to fix the flopping an easy way 💁🏻♂️
You should use your directional signals when you turn.
He did just that the refreshed qx80 has its rear turn signals in the lower bumper
These straps are a cool idea and might be good for someone who uses them occasionally but for everyday use get some good Erickson's or something and just deal with the excess strap
I agree with Roman on the straps
As long as they're not hitting anything, I can't see any way the straps bouncing like that are going to shorten their life any more. There's no additional rubbing or friction and it's just varying the tension in the strap slightly similar to how it varies as the load that's restrained accelerates, stops and bounces.
@@jamesbeaman6337 don’t get me too wrong. I do like the idea. I would just do them the way he had it at first
Speaking of older trucks towing vrs latest trucks... i looked into the numbers of a later 2nd gen Ram 3500 drw truck, best towing capabilities i found listed it as a max of 13,600lbs. Crazy compared to 37,000 of new trucks.
You guys need some work on securing loads. Those are way too small for that load and loosen when the suspension of the ATV bounces.
1" straps on a machine that big😬
Just bungee between the two ratchets to prevent the twisting
I honestly didnt know u could wash the inside like that ... cause of wiring etc... Thanks Roman ..TFL 😍😍
What a bloody good idea. Mate, years of strapping down stuff and I never saw this. A fancy Patrol/Amada. Like Prado/Lexus.
Would you say the qx80 can tow 23 ft travel trailer?
Whoa, did anyone else get a peek at the Maybach suv in the background when Roman showed up?
As always great job Andre. Roman, hope you didn't break a nail 🤭.
There a mercedes Maybach gls tow video coming ?
Everybody ready for short work week??
Will it tow??? Cmon. You guys are better than that.
I don't like this kind of trailer braking system... There in Italy we use a more effective system: in the trailer's towbar there's a piston connected with trailer's brake cables. When the car hit the brakes, the inertia push the trailer forward, compressing this piston, wich pull the cables connected with trailer's brakes, and it start the braking action. When the car start to pull again, the piston it's extending, releasing progressively the brakes. Way easy and effective than a electronic system like that, because it's purely mechanical system.
I hope you guys do a comparison on the Ike with this thing. Also.. I heard turns signals at 9:58 but didn't see them work on screen? Weird...
They are used by many Gray Nomads in Australia.
Those straps are great for lumber or sheets of plywood but not for vehicles
The Can-am Defender will be pull out the Land Defender. 😉
Notice you can hear in the audio the turn signal clicking but your turn signal lights weren't working. So much for the quality of an $80K vehicle.
Those straps are ridiculous.
That moment when a Nissan made an Infiniti obsolete. The updated Pathfinder is a much better buy if you must.
You've got to be kidding me i use my ford freestyle awd v6 to tow my 1500 pound trailer and 1100 pound yamaha rhino up to Flagstaff az from buckeye az at least 3 times a year so if that v8 can't do it its a shame lol. Do an actaul test.
He said it was not a test just taking it to get cleaned, listen for a change to what is said.
Guys need a ford expedition
