view full answer... - Does Towing Capacity of a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder Increase if Hitch is Rated Higher than Vehicle
- In the answer you referenced the Expert is referring to the capacities of the hitches only. The towing capacity of your 2013 Nissan Pathfinder will not increase with a hitch installed. The vehicle capacity is whatever is stated in the vehicle owner's manual. You will always go by the lowest rated component in the system. So, for example, if the vehicle is rated for 5,000 pounds and the hitch # 76031 is rated for 6,000 pounds you are still limited to 5,000 pounds even though the hitch is...

- We have several roof rack options for your 2015 Nissan Pathfinder with a naked roof, and these can be seen on the page I linked for you. Please note that all of these racks have 59-inch crossbars.
I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex black bar system made of parts # RRVA150B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK407. This racks offers a high 165-lb weight capacity, aerodynamic elliptical bars that will make less noise than most other shapes and it offers excellent compatibility with rooftop carriers. You...

- 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.

- 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...

- 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.

view full answer... - 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.

47" WingBar Evo Crossbars - Black # TH711220 or Silver # TH711200
Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401
Lock Core Kit - # TH450400 (optional)
This has a weight rating of 165 lbs which will be enough to support the weight of your clam shell camper when empty. The 165 lb rating is called the dynamic rating which means when the vehicle is in motion. The static rating (when the vehicle isn't moving) will be higher and...

- 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...
view full answer... - 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...

- So long as you have a smart phone capable of downloading Curt's app the Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller item # C51180 will definitely work with your Pathfinder's 7-way harness. The 12v line on your Nissan's 7-way will function and charge your trailer's battery. This is the best option for wireless brake controllers.

- 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.

- The 8' size listed is the width of the entire awning, end to end. The awning also extends up to 50” over the slide out. I've attached a photo indicating what these dimensions include.
To calculate the size you need, determine your slide-out box width by measuring the outside front of the box, including the flange. This particular slider covers boxes with a width between 86” and 91-3/4”. The slider should extend at least 2-1/2” beyond each side of your slide box.
