Replying to: twopaths (May 20, 2008 4:27 am) Mike,   Thanks a lot for the reassurance. I've read great reviews on the Pathfinder, but was a little worried I'd be over working it. Thanks for bringing back to reality! -Matt Replies to this message: kipk (May 21, 2008 2:37 am)

Replying to: ohioeagle (May 20, 2008 7:49 am) Power wise you should be able to handle that light weight boat with ease.   If you are going to be towing for long distances or hilly terrain, an auxiliary tranny cooler might be a good idea. Just a little extra insurance!   I don't know when Nissan started putting them on as standard equipment.   Kip

#33 of 36 Towing experience by ckone0814 Dec 26, 2008 (10:55 am)
I'll add my $.02 since there wasn't a whole lot of info when I was looking for it...   My 2005 Pathy LE tows my 18' dual console boat/trailer approx 4k lbs just fine. Would rather have v8 truck but Pathy is more flexible for my uses.

Replying to: sphiss (Aug 09, 2007 10:54 am) I know this is an old post but how did this camper work with your pathfinder. I am looking to buy this camper this weekend and tow it with my 2005 pathfinder. If the pathfinder couldnt tow it very well I will not buy the camper. Trail-Cruiser 26QBH
#35 of 36 Towing a Jeep Liberty with our Pathfinder by jwendel123 Mar 25, 2009 (8:36 am)
We will be going down to Texas (from MN) in May and want to tow our son's Jeep Liberty back with our '06 Nissan Pathfinder. We would use a tow dolly, if that is what we need. Is this possible or is it too much for our vehicle? thanks for your help. Replies to this message: twopaths (Mar 25, 2009 4:11 pm)

Replying to: jwendel123 (Mar 25, 2009 8:36 am) According to Edmunds, the curb weight on the Liberty is about 4300# and the rating on your PF is 6000#. So in that respect you should be ok. I've got an '06 and a boat that weighs around 5700# (including trailer). We have towed all over Florida and have never had an issue but, obviously, the terrain is very flat. I don't have any experience towing vehicles but I think you need some kind of transmission lockout device in order to avoid damage?
