The tongue weight capacity of the pathfinder As listed on the label on my hitch shows 600 Lbs. At 5,600 Lbs, you are very close if not over, based on a tongue weight of 10-15%. Don't forget to add the weight of the WDH in.
I thought you subtract the people and stuff from the 6,000 Lb towing capacity to compute actual/remaining towing capacity?
As for me, I would not tow what you are towing for any distance or though mountains, it just doesn't look overly safe to me. However, I'm no expert, only trying to learn and be safe.
This is why a trans temp gauge really helps. If you see your temps running away, you can do something about it.Thanks for letting me know about the 3rd to 5th locking issue, I hope that it does not become a huge issue for me.
I get about 10MPG or less, about 25L/100kmWhat is your real world milage looking like? What terrain are you driving on a regular basis?
