Expert Answers about Nissan Pathfinder


  • 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...

  • What is the Thickness of the Derale Low-Profile Sandwich Adapter # D25772
  • The thickness of the Derale Low-Profile Sandwich Adapter # D25772 that you referenced is 1 inch and the diameter of the # D25772 is 2-15/16 inches across the width of it. I did some research and it looks like the oil filter for you 2001 Nissan Pathfinder has the same thread size of 20 mm x 1.5 mm.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Will the Curt Echo Work w/ the Factory 7-Way on a Nissan Pathfinder?
  • 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.

  • 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...

  • When Does the Shank Rise Occur On the Reese 3 Bike Rack
  • The Reese 3 Bike Rack part # 63123 does indeed have a shank rise. I went out to our warehouse for you to measure the shank and I think it will work with your Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount part # D210 and Sylvan Go Sport Trailer. The rise portion of the shank starts at about 4-1/2" away from the center of the hitch pin hole and by the time you get to 6-1/2" out, there is 1-1/4" in rise when measuring from the bottom of the bend to the bottom of the shank (with adapter). The distance from...

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • Recommended Maximum Towing Capacity of 2013 Nissan Pathfinder
  • The actual towing capacity of a vehicle is a function of both the vehicle itself, as rated by the auto maker based on the specific equipment included, and of the particular hitch that is installed. Although all the hitches we offer for your 2013 Pathfinder are the 2-inch type, these have varying towing capacities. For instance, Curt Class III hitch # C13126 is rated for 4000-lbs towing, but if used along with a weight distribution (WD) system such as the Reese # RP66084 the hitch capacity...

  • 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.

  • 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...
