What is the Pathfinder towing capacity?

I recently rented a Nissan Pathfinder while I was on vacation and I loved it! I was thinking of buying one as my next vehicle, but my only concern is that it can’t tow the small camper I have. What’s the towing capacity of the latest Nissan Pathfinder?

Nissan Pathfinder
is a powerful car that should provide you with adequate towing. The Pathfinder towing capacity is 3,500 pounds with the two-wheel-drive version or 6,000 pounds with optional four-wheel drive. Either version should have enough oomph to pull a small camper, but make sure you check the weight of the camper beforehand.
The key to the towing capacity of the Pathfinder is a 3.5-liter V-6 engine. This engine provides 284 horsepower and 259 pound-feet of torque. And to make towing easier, the Pathfinder also has optional and standard features such as:
  • Intelligent Around View Monitor
  • Tow Mode
  • Trailer Sway Control
While most liability policies will cover your car and trailer, you should always shop around when your policy is up for renewal so you don’t overpay. That’s when the
