Hey everyone,
Saw this on the weekend:
http://www.nissanusa.com/suvs/2017-pathfinder
States that they have raised the engine rating from 260HP/240ftlb to 284HP/259ftlb. Along with that bump, the tow capacity went from a respectable (for a CUV) 5000lbs to whopping 6000lbs, to match the tow rating for the R51.
I won't be running out to order one of these, but am intrigued, as one of the main purposes of getting our R51 was the towing capability. If the R52 is actually capable of pulling 6000lbs without too many 'exceptions', I wonder if it might be a viable option in the future.
To be clear, the criteria was, don't want a full size truck for a capability I only need less than 2% of the time.
And by 'exceptions' I mean that they don't prevent you from using a Weight Distributing hitch (don't know this yet) or have some crazy restriction on front facing area, etc etc.
Thoughts?
