Expert Answers about Nissan Pathfinder


  • Weight Distribution and Brake Controller Recommendation for 2017 Nissan Pathfinder
  • Any time the weight of the trailer is more than half the weight of the tow vehicle it's a really good idea to use weight distribution. For the trailer weight you mentioned it would be a very good idea but not completely required. I would still recommend it though. It's going to give you better handling, braking, and reduce suspension sag. You referenced an Equal-i-zer system which is the best setup around but for the weight of your trailer you'd be best off with the part # EQ37060ET which...

  • Is Just Harness of Tekonsha 4-Way Kit for 2022 Nissan Pathfinder Available
  • Tekonsha does not offer us just the harness and relay from the Tekonsha kit part # TK58VR that fits your 2022 Nissan Pathfinder. The only way to get those components would be with the entire kit. This would give you a back up 4-way in case something happened to yours though.

  • Bracket for Mounting 7-Way Install on 2019 Nissan Pathfinder with Curt Hitch
  • Since the Curt hitch part # C13309 that fits your 2019 Nissan Pathfinder doesn't have a trailer wiring bracket (none of the hitches for your vehicle do) the best options is to use a bracket # PK12711U attached to the lower rear fascia so that you can easily mount the 7-way kit that also fits your vehicle part # C56357. I attached a picture that shows what the wiring connectors look like at the rear of your vehicle as well.

  • Transmission Cooler for 2010 Nissan Pathfinder with Leaking Radiator Defect
  • Nissan has extended the factory warranties on radiators on 2005-2010 Frontier, Pathfinder and Xterra models. You might want to contact your Nissan dealer for details. I urge you to take this step first since it may solve your problem at little or no cost to you. If you do not want to work with your Nissan dealer you can instead purchase an aftermarket replacement radiator and have it installed by a qualified service technician. If you ever are in need of a supplementary cooler, please...

  • Will Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs F4118 Provide Lift For 2020 Nissan Pathfinder
  • The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Spring Kit # F4118 you mentioned for your 2020 Nissan Pathfinder will not lift your vehicle, but will just provide between 500-1000lbs of load leveling support to fight suspension sag when towing a trailer. You can fine tune the amount of support by adjusting the helper springs between 5-35 PSI to get the exact support you need. The # F4118 includes everything needed for the install, but if you would rather not have to manually inflate each bag when...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and 4-Way Flat Vehicle Wiring Harness For 2024 Nissan Pathfinder
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C46DR is the custom fit trailer hitch receiver I recommend for your 2024 Nissan Pathfinder. This receiver has a hidden cross tube for a clean appearance and will bolt to your frame with the included hardware and no drilling. I recommend installing the Wiring Harness # TK58VR with the receiver. This will give you a 4-way flat connector which is the most commonly found connector on small trailers you may tow. You can also use this connector to add Auxiliary...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2020 Nissan Pathfinder
  • We organize our transmission coolers by class as a way to reflect roughly how heavy of towing they were intended for. I don't personally think it's the best way to organize them but I can understand the logic behind it. With all of that said I would recommend the Derale part # D13503 for your 2020 Nissan Pathfinder as it's a larger cooler in a more efficient style that would do a really great job keeping your transmission fluid temps down and therefore prolonging the life of the transmission.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch, Wiring Harness and Brake Controller for 2017 Nissan Pathfinder
  • Let's begin with the class III trailer hitch. I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13309. This US made hitch offers great quality at a reasonable price point. The hitch is a concealed design, which means that the only portion of the hitch that will be visible from the rear of the vehicle is the receiver tube and the safety chain hoops. The hitch crossbar is fully concealed behind the bumper. For a trailer wiring harness, use part # 118273 which provides a 7-way trailer connector....

  • Correct Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System for a 2019 Crossroads Sunset Trail SS251RK
  • The best Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System for a 2019 Crossroads Sunset Trail SS251RK is part # BXW1006 which is rated for 750 lbs - 1,000 lbs of tongue weight. If you have the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System part # BXW0750 then all you will need is the Replacement Spring Bars for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System part # BXW4007 to get the correct weight range. The Crossroads Sunset Trail SS251RK has a 600 lb dry tongue weight rating which is the tongue weight...

  • Recommended 7-way Connector and Trailer Brake Controller For 2003 Nissan Pathfinder
  • We have exactly what you are looking for! Since your 2003 Nissan Pathfinder already has a 4-way flat connector you will need to add the # ETBC7 to get a 7-way connector. This will plug into your existing 4-way connector and just require a few more connections. The black wire will need to get run to the positive terminal of your battery with the included 40 amp circuit breaker, the white wire will get grounded to the frame, and the blue wire will get extended to where you are planning on...

  • Recommended Cover for Coleman Lantern LT
  • From specs available to me online, the Coleman Lantern LT has an overall length, when closed, of 21-1/2' from bumper to hitch coupler. This will put the box of the camper at about 17', approximately. You will need to verify this measurement before ordering. Please the attached image for points to measure and compare against this product. I suggest the Camco UltraGuard Pop-Up Camper Cover, # CAM45765 for all season use. This is a heavy-duty, UV-resistant, water-resistant cover made of...

  • Bypassing Factory Transmission Cooler in 2008 Honda Pilot
  • What you're wanting to do is theoretically possible, many folks with the Nissan Pathfinders that had the same radiator/transmission cooler problem were looking to do the same thing. Derale Transmission Coolers, like the # D13502 you mentioned is meant as a supplementary cooler to augment, but not replace the factory unit. As we advised the Nissan owners, we would rather see you fix the problem correctly by using an aftermarket replacement radiator/transmission cooler, which are pretty...

  • Roof Rack that Fits 2011 Nissan Pathfinder with Raised Rails
  • The raised side rails of your 2011 Nissan Pathfinder are odd shaped but the Thule roof rack you mentioned part numbers # TH711200 and # TH710401 has been confirmed as a fit for them. The Yakima rack you tried is not listed as a fit and would be why you had issues with it.

  • Trailer Wiring Kit and Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Nissan Pathfinder
  • For a 4-way trailer wiring harness for your 2019 Nissan Pathfinder I recommend the # 118670 which installs very easily and comes with everything needed to give you the 4-way you'll need to tow your pop up. I attached an install video for this on a similar 2018 Pathfinder. If you needed a hitch too the Curt Class III part # C13309 is a really great option too. It has plenty of capacity and is mostly hidden since only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper.

  • Does Yakima SkyBox 16 Fit OEM Crossbars of 2023 Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek
  • Yes, the Yakima Skybox 16 part # Y07335 does safely fit the crossbars of your 2023 Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek Edition based on your picture and the dimensions of the bars that you listed. This can fit bars that are up to 3-1/2 inches wide and up to 1-11/16 inches tall so you'd be totally fine.

  • Recommended Bike Racks that Can Tilt With the Bikes Loaded
  • I have a few options for you, but it is not recommended to tilt the Thule Helium Aero Bike Rack, # TH9042PRO, with the bikes loaded. The hinge of this bike rack was not designed to support the additional weight and the bikes will hit the ground when the bike rack is tilted. Instead, I recommend looking at the Thule Apex Swing Bike Rack, # TH9027XT. This bike rack does not tilt, but it swings to the side and it can swing to the side with bikes loaded. I have attached a demonstration video...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder that is Wired Like a 2012 Pathfinder
  • This is strange because it appears your 2013 Nissan Pathfinder has the wiring of a 2012 which does take # 118267. However, it is not a 4-Way it is a 7-Way. To me it would appear that you need # C56225 which is the 4-Way and it includes the jumper harness and the relays to make it functional. I have linked a video showing installation on a 2012 Pathfinder for you.

  • Best Tire Chain Recommendation for 2017 Nissan Pathfinder with Tire Size 235-65R18
  • Snow chains are basically superior to cables in every way with exception of they offer a little bit more clearance and cost less, but aside from that they give much better traction, lost considerable longer, and install a bit easier. Most of the time cables really are for one time use. The overall best solution for the tire size of 235/65R18 on your 2017 Nissan Pathfinder is the Konig Easy Fit chains part # TH04115255. These will last the longest, give you the best traction, are compatible...
