Expert Answers about Nissan Pathfinder
- Comparison of 2018 Nissan Pathfinder Trailer Hitches
- For your 2018 Nissan Pathfinder, the hitch manufacturers have all specified the same weight capacities. Curt # C13309, Draw-Tite # 76031, and etrailer # e98908 all have 900 lb tongue weight and 6,000 lbs towing capacity. I recommend the least expensive options at the time of purchase because they all are great quality hitches with the biggest difference between them being the etrailer hitch has a flat/matte black finish versus the high gloss black of the other two.

- There are only two suspension enhancement options for a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder, the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F4118 and Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs part # CSS-1195R. They will both work well to reduce sag but the air bags are a much better option since you can reduce pressure while not in use for a factory ride. The SumoSprings would be engaged constantly so you'll get a rougher ride while not towing.

- We have a few options to supplement the suspension on your 2013 Nissan Pathfinder. The first will be the SumoSprings # CSS-1195R. This is an easy to install, set it and forget it part. That being said, it will stay installed and will affect the ride when not towing, but will definitely help when you are.
The other option we have is the Firstone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4118. This is the option I would go with. This has to do with the adjustability of them. They can be adjusted from...
view full answer... - Comparing Curt and etrailer.com Hitch for 2018 Nissan Pathfinder
- Curt actually makes the etrailer.com hitches like the part # e98908 that you referenced which is why it's basically identical to the Curt # C13309 that fits your 2018 Nissan Pathfinder. It is a somewhat new hitch line we started offering but not brand new. This means that the install video for the Curt (attached to this page) would cover the install of the # e98908 as well.
The hands free liftgate of your Pathfinder will still work but you just would have to kick your foot to either side...

- Other than the price and weight difference, the Reese Pro Round Bar Weight Distribution w Sway Control # RE34FR uses round bars, and 66557 uses trunnion bars. These bars are usually priced higher than round bars nd are utilized in more heavier applications.
Additionally, trunnion bars offer more ground clearance than round bars.
view full answer... - Difference Between Curt 13088 Square and Curt 13156 Round Tube Trailer Hitches
- The two hitches you mentioned are very similar in size and installation. When comparing round and square hitches, round tube hitches are usually sleeker compared to square hitches. Any hitch for your Pathfinder will stick out past the bumper. I looked at our other hitch options like Draw-tite, and they stick out too. With these older Pathfinders, the extra bumper clearance is necessary to avoid obstruction.
With the options available, I would go with the Curt Round Tube # C13156 if your...
view full answer... - Recommended Suspension Enhancement for a 2011 Nissan Pathfinder
- Both the SumoSprings # CSS-1125R and Air Lift # AL60810 will help with the sag you are experiencing, however, I prefer the Air Lift # AL60810. This has to do with the adjustability of the air bags. These can be deflated to 5 psi, making them feel nearly, if not completely, non existent. This will keep the ride quality as close to stock as possible when not towing. They can then be ramped up to 35 psi, giving them very good support when you are towing.
Though the SumoSprings # CSS-1125R...

- Hands down the better option for your 2017 Nissan Pathfinder with raised rails is the Rhino-Rack over the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG216. The Malone is really a more universal type of fit that is an all-in-one with bars that are smaller in diameter and height than the Rhino-Rack and not at the overall level of quality. If you were looking for a rack that you'd just use occasionally it would be fine, but since you are using things like a rooftop tent and awning, it seems like you're...

- Although we don't carry the AMPLOCK U-TLS2516I, from what I could find it does look exactly the same as the Atwood AMPlock Underslung Coupler Lock # AT89006.
The AMPlock Underslung Coupler Lock is compatible with 2-5/16" couplers that are no wider than 4-5/8" (including the lip), and have a lip no thicker than 2-1/2" (see attached photo). You can use this to determine if it is the correct fit for your application.
It also has a cast iron body and comes with a 2-year warranty. I have also...
view full answer... - What is the Difference Between the Redarc Tow Pro Elite V2 and v3
- The # RED44FR is the 331-EBRH-ACCV3, which is the 3rd version of the Redarc Tow Pro Elite controller that was originally only available in Australia; the # 331-EBRH-ACCV2 is the 2nd version and has been phased out. They're really mostly the same controller and there aren't any functional changes made between the two aside from the smaller knob on the V3 # RED44FR.
I've linked a video review of this controller for you to check out, but even though one is newer the updates were mostly cosmetic.
view full answer... - Differences Between Prodigy P2 and P3 Brake Controllers
- The biggest differences between the Prodigy P2 brake controller, # 90885, and the P3 brake controller, # 90195, are the display, buttons and look of the controllers.
I like the buttons and display on the P3 controller because the display uses actual words for setup and troubleshooting rather than display codes like the P2 uses. This makes it easier to know you are adjusting the correct function or see the trouble shooting codes without referring back to the installation manual. I added...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch for 2018 Nissan Pathfinder That Has Discrete Appearance
- We offer two brands of 2-inch hitches for your 2018 Nissan Pathfinder, and one of these, the class III Curt # C13309, is designed with a concealed cross tube that lets the vehicle keep more of its stock appearance. The included photo shows you the Curt hitch installed.
The other hitch, class IV Draw-Tite # 76031, offers slightly easier installation but it will be more visible once installed. For a clean and discrete appearance the USA-made Curt hitch wins.

- I prefer the Curt, part # C13309, over the Draw-Tite, part # 76031, for a trailer hitch receiver on your 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. I like how the Curt hitch is mostly hidden behind the rear bumper and the only part you see is the receiver opening and safety chain loops.
With the Draw-Tite you can see part of the crosstube under the bumper. Although, it doesn't require any fascia trimming and the price is better.
I've linked a video from when we installed the Draw-Tite on a Pathfinder...
