Expert Answers about Nissan Pathfinder


  • Does the Tow Ready 7-Way Wiring Harness Have 7-Pin or 7-Blade Connection
  • The Tow Ready Replacement Wiring Harness, part # 118267, for Nissan vehicles has the 7-blade connection. However, according to our fit guide, the Tow Ready part is only the replacement 7-way connector. If you never had a connector installed before, then you will also need a T-Connector installed to connect the 7-way to the vehicle. I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118266 if this is the first time installing a 7-way connector on your vehicle. You will also need...

  • How Much Ground Clearance Will there Be with Curt Front Hitch Installed on a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder
  • Once installed the Curt front receiver # 31241 will be directly below the front fascia on your 2005 Nissan Pathfinder, see diagram. It will hand down from that point approximately 2-1/2 inches. So measure from the ground to the bottom of the front fascia and subtract 2-1/2 inches to get a good approximation of ground clearance.

  • The Stromberg Carlson Bike Bunk Trailer-Mounted Bike Rack Carrier # CC-275 referenced in your question weighs in at just about 47 pounds.

  • Can Larger Cargo Bag Than Hitch Cargo Carrier Platform Fit Without Issue
  • You can use a larger than needed cargo bag on a cargo carrier like what you mentioned. Basically you'd have more cargo room available than needed but as long as you secure the bag down well it won't be an issue at all. You can use a cargo net like the part # C18200 which will easily keep the excess bag and cargo secured. Basically you'll just stretch the net over the bag and it will hold everything in place. I attached a review video for this net for you to check out as well.

  • Matching Weight Distribution Hitch To Tongue Weight
  • It is always recommended to use a weight distribution system that is properly rated for your trailer tongue weight. Using a WD system that is rated way above the tongue weight on your trailer can make for a rougher ride and could lead to trailer bounce and unwanted shifting of your trailer cargo. For this reason, you want to match your tongue weight to a WD system such that your tongue weight falls close to the middle of the WD system's tongue weight range. Since your 550 lbs tongue weight...

  • What are the Dimensions of the Top Bar on the 24x60 Reese Cargo Carrier # 63153
  • The top tube rail of the 24x60 Reese Cargo Carrier # 63153 measures 3/4" x 3/4". I have confirmed this with my contact at Reese for you. To install this in your hitch receiver you will also need a hitch pin/clip # PC3 or a locking hitch pin like part # 63232 which also comes with an anti-rattle device to help reduce the play of the carrier in the hitch receiver.

  • Do The Different Hitch Ball Sizes Have Different Heights As Well?
  • From the bottom of the flange to the very top of the ball will indeed be 2-3/4". This can vary slightly between manufacturers and ball size though, but the typical 1-7/8" ball ( # 19256) will measure +/- 2-5/8" tall, the typical 2" ball ( # 63845) will measure +/- 2-3/4" tall, and the typical 2-5/16" ball ( # C40030) will measure +/- 3-1/8" tall. With that said, you should not be relying on the height of the ball to figure out how much rise or drop you need. This should be done by measuring...

  • Hitch Pin to Hitch Ball Measurement on etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit # 989900
  • The two ball mounts included with the etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit # 989900 referenced in your question have slightly different hitch pin to hitch ball measurements. The ball mount with the 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop has a distance of 8-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball. The ball mount with the 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop has a distance of 9 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball. Either of these ball mounts...

  • Roof Rack Needed for Rooftop Camper on 2005 Nissan Pathfinder with Raised Rails

  • Recommended 7-Way Connector for a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder to Use a Curt Echo
  • The Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller item # C51180 is controlled through an app on your phone and does not require a connection to a brake controller wire. I am guessing that's what you mean by a traditional brake box and under dash adapter. All you will need to add to your 2008 Nissan Pathfinder is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C56226 you mentioned. This 7-way harness works with the Pathfinders that came with the towing package. I have linked a couple of installation...

  • Which Pewag or Glacier Ratcheting Load Binder has the Shortest Minimum Reach
  • I was able to speak with my contact at Pewag and get some measurements for the load binders we carry. We have several different options available. First, on the Titan Chain load binder # TCLB10, the minimum reach is 21 inches from one hook to the other measuring from the inside of the hooks so this will be the shortest. For Pewag Ratcheting Load Binder, # PRLB108, the minimum reach is 24.3 inches.

  • Can I Carry Motorcycle With a Hitch Carrier on My Nissan Pathfinder
  • I looked up the owner's manual for your 2020 Nissan Pathfinder and it gives all of the specifications and how to check for proper loading, and weight capacities, you can find it on page 10-17 - 10-22. The maximum tongue weight for your Pathfinder is 600 lbs, which is 10% of the max towing capacity 6000 lbs. So unfortunately since the total weight is over 600 lbs, I cannot recommend it, if you can shave 21 lbs off the carrier or the bike it would be within the manufacturers limit. I think...

  • Dimensions of the Lippert Slide-Topper Mounting Brackets for # LCV000163287
  • My contact a Lippert Components confirmed with me that the mounting bracket on the Lippert Solera Slide-Topper Awning, # LCV000163287, measures from the center of the top rivet hole to the bottom of edge 1.050 inches. The bracket will mount as close to the top trim of the slid out on you trailer, so from the bottom of this trim to the bottom of the mounting bracket will be no more than 1 to 1.5 inches. This will be enough clearance for the slider to mount to the slide out between the...

  • Does Draw Tite Trailer Hitch for 2015 Nissan Pathfinder have Capacity to Tow 4,500 lb Trailer
  • The Draw Tite trailer hitch part # 76031 that you referenced has a 6,000 lb towing capacity which would be more than enough for a 4,500 lb trailer. I looked up your 2015 Nissan Pathfinder and it should have a towing capacity of 5,000 lbs which would work with a 4,500 lb trailer as well. For trailer wiring you'd then want the # 118273. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well. Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit...

  • Availability of Bike Adapters with Minimum Length of 13 or Less
  • We have a smaller adapter that, when fully collapsed, measure less than 15 inches, but not 13 inches. The Yakima bar, part # Y02531, has a minimum of 14-1/2 inches. I would measure the kids' bike frames again to make sure this adapter fits.
