More food for thought.
Something to think about and I'm not trying to start an argument on the merits or otherwise of certain designs.... I'm simply trying to add to the conversation.
For those who are considering the applicability of a '14 Pathy as a tow vehicle, in '13 Nissan redesigned this car, making it a unibody, front wheel drive, with a CVT.
I think the OP said hers is 4WD. A more accurate description is automatic 4 wheel-drive. This is a front drive car that can send power to the back wheels on demand, or can be manually locked into 4WD, like for snow, etc.
Point being this is not the old, body on frame, rear wheel drive Pathy from previous years.
This car has a CVT. Take that how you like as to suitability for towing.
I see that etrailer sells a rear suspension upgrade for this car. A guess ( that's all it is, a GUESS ) would be that enough customers are finding these cars to have a rather soft rear suspension, and needing more capacity back there. So to the OP, consider when setting this up for towing, you may need to have a rear suspension upgrade. Or maybe not ?
