Had a 2005 Pathfinder, 6000 lbs tow rating, 600 lbs tongue rating and 270 Hp and 291 lbs of torque. The worst tow vehicle I've ever owned thanks to it's lack of torque despite it's stellar published torque. Poor mainly due to it's ultra weak suspension. Replaced it with a 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac and what a difference despite similar torque ratings and rear axle ratings.
I hear ya - I am keeping my expectations in check for now. However the Pathfinder was completely revised in 2015 and now is a unibody crossover.
We basically have a truck just for towing. If we can find a SUV that tows well, that's one vehicle less to pay for and insure.
