Just wondering What can I tow with a NISSAN PATHFINDER?
Cool little treuckies, But how STOUT are they?

without adding a aftermarket tranny cooler I wouldn't try to tow much, the autotragics in these are known to go easily without some extra cooling help. That being said I used to tow a 19' ski boat around for about 2 summers. Don't plan on going anywhere real fast though, the 3.0 MPFI in these put out a whopping 154 horsepower, not so great to be towing stuff with. I think the factory limit was rated at 3500 lbs. In the end, yes my tranny blew, although not while towing anything, got it rebuilt and am more careful now

Ha yeah mine felt strained just trying to pull a 600 pound four wheeler and a 5 gallon gas can on a 5x14 trailer. So yeah they aren't the best when it comes to towing. A transmission cooler is a must though. I don't even really tow anything and I installed one on mine. Just make sure you bypass the factory tranny cooler in the radiator as they have been known to clog up and ruin transmissions.
