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...

I agree with GMW PHotos, but it is hard to get exact weights when buying a new TT. I can only go with what info is available to me. The sticker on the side of this trailer said it is 3,628lbs shipping weight. I was working with gross weight since that will be the max I should ever tow with that trailer. What dealership would let me load all my camping gear, food, clothes etc and then take it to a scale to see if it is ok?
If the pathfinder was ever offered with a manual I would of been first in line. In fact this is my first automatic car that is mine. (The Murano that we used to tow with was my wife's)
My uncle has a Turbo Diesel Nissan Nevara with a 6 speed manual in Colombia (where I am from) I drool over it. They sell the same Turbo diesel manual configuration in my version of the pathfinder too.
I'm not worried about running 3500rpms all day if need be. I had a Miata that at 75mph in fifth gear would run at 4200rpms. I'm concerned with the transmissions temperatures. I plan to get a Bullydog triple GT tuner to monitor the trans temps and keep it below 200deg.
