Look at the sticker inside the driver door. My 2012 V6 S (zero options base model) was around 1100 lbs, and verified by CAT scale. All Pathfinders in that generation had the same GVWR, and the suspension is terrible for towing heavy. You're hitch rating is 700 lbs, which you'll blow by too.

The trailer was ~4500 lbs. unloaded, and I had airbags preventing the truck from dragging on the ground. The experience was white knuckle for the 400 mile round trip.
