It has been my impression that all(?) 2005 & up PathFinders have a trailer hitch. Look to the left of it and you should see a 4 pin trailer connector that should be live (may have a plastic cover to protect it from the elements). Now what is an option (depending on model) is a 7 pin for campers and/or utility trailers with electric brakes and then add a brake controller of your choice. Most utility trailers do not come with brakes. U-Haul uses surge brakes to avoid the controller issue.05Pathfinder wrote: I have a question for you. I have never towed before and I am looking into buying a used utility trailer. What will I need to purchase for the lights to work with my 05 Path Se?
Wiring is per standard on all trailers unless someone "did it his way".05Pathfinder wrote:Thanks for the info. The trailer im looking at is a simple 4*8 with no brakes so theoretically it should come with a basic 4 pin that will marry up with my stock wiring?
If you have a Princess Auto close to you, they are usually half the price of Canadian Tire.05Pathfinder wrote:Thanks for the info. The trailer im looking at is a simple 4*8 with no brakes so theoretically it should come with a basic 4 pin that will marry up with my stock wiring?
Should I get a hitch adapter that lowers a little bit since its such a small trailer like this

Depends how heavy the load is. I would try to get it as level as possible, meaning you'll have to get a pretty decent drop on your hitch ball.05Pathfinder wrote:So I bought a nice little utility trailer and I have one last question.
The hitch on the pathfinder is about 19'' off the ground and the trailer sits level at about 8''.
How critical is it if I cant get a hitch to drop down to be perfectly level?
