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...

We towed a 24' Surveyor, about 5k wet; using a 2010 PF (as well as several other TV of varying types). To Colorado and many other places.
As others have said, it's not the weight, it's the wind. On flat ground it would lock up the TC in OD and run 60-65 mph no sweat. Never a problem maintaining reasonable speeds on grades etc. Worst day was fighting headwinds in west TX rolling hills. Got tired of shifting and just put it in 3rd with the CC on.
Pathfinders of that generation have plenty of weight capacity to carry passengers and tongue weight and be within ratings. I've put every rig we've owned over the years on the scales.
