Hi Robert,

Iâ€™m thinking of upgrading my car before the end of the year. Next summer, my family and I will be moving across the country, so I need a vehicle which can haul our stuff. Can you tell me what the towing capacity of the 2018 Nissan Pathfinder is?

Thanks,
Tony

Hi, Tony!

Of all the vehicles Nissan offer, the PathfinderÂ almost certainly suits your needs the best. This model has a towing capacity of 6,000 lbs, which is astonishing considering itâ€™s a crossover with a single piece frame.

For some reason, many manufacturers have accepted that vehicles with a single piece frame have a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 lbs; if you want to go over this number, youâ€™ll need a truck-based chassis. Well, that was the norm until the Pathfinder raised the bar by 1,000 lbs!

This might not seem like a big deal, but a vehicle with a single piece frame will ride smoother than one of its truck-inspired counterparts. The handling will be better too, and itâ€™ll return more mpg. So, if you opt for this model, you'll have a more practical day-to-day car while still having all the towing capacity you could want.

Thanks for contacting Kirkland Nissan, Tony! Best of luck with your move.
