Towing 5200lbs with a 06 Nissan Pathfinder
Hello all, I am currently considering purchasing a travel trailer and will be towing with my 06 Nissan Pathfinder LE 4x4. The Pathfinder has a max towing capacity of 6000lbs and a max tongue of 600lbs...

Better match for your Pathfinder IMO. It's not just about weight, as was stated, aerodynamics of a high-sided trailer and the length of the trailer vs the wheelbase of the TV all contribute to how well the TV controls (or fails to) the trailer.
Weights also depend on what you plan to carry in the truck...the truck carries the tongue weight of the trailer as part of its cargo. Since it's just you, sweetie and the dog, you'll likely be OK. Where folks run into trouble is adding the kids and a bunch of gear in the back, leaves little if any room for tongue weight.
Nice trailer by the way, our 2000 Mallard had a similar floor plan.
