  • Need Longer Hardware to Install X-Cargo Rooftop Cargo Box on 2003 Nissan Pathfinder Factory Bars
  • Thule offers replacement carriage bolts for its X-Cargo series of roof top boxes, including the 60-mm M6 bolt you referenced, part # TH04852.

  • Upgrading Existing 4-Pole Trailer Connector on 2017 Nissan Pathfinder to 7-Way
  • The Tekonsha # 118273 7-way trailer connector uses the same jumper harness and relays that are used by the Curt # C56281 so you can simply leave those in place and install the 7-way and harness provided with the # 118273 and plug it into the factory connectors you described. That harness will provide the trailer lighting, a 12V feed and transmit the brake controller output from the connector under the dash, but you'll need to install a brake controller to actually actuate the trailer brakes. For...

  • What Size Bolts are Used to Install a Trailer Hitch on a 1999 Nissan Pathfinder
  • You should be able to find out the exact bolts needed for installing a trailer hitch on your 1999 Nissan Pathfinder by looking at the installation instructions. If you take a look at the installation instructions for the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13088, which is a fit for your Pathfinder, you can see that Draw-Tite specifies that M12 x 1.25 x 35mm CL810.39 size bolts be used. Although all of our trailer hitches that fit your Pathfinder use this size bolt for installation, I recommend...

  • Parts Needed to Install Electric Brake Controller on 2002 Nissan Pathfinder with 4-Way Connector
  • The electric brake controller I suggest is the Prodigy P3 # 90195. It's one of the most reliable controllers and is easy to use because of the LCD. To install a controller you'll need our # ETBC7 kit. This will include the 7-way trailer connector you need and everything for the brake controller. It'll use the 4-way connector you already have. It's very unlikely you'll need the # 10-2-1 extra wire but it's always s better to have too much than too little. The # ETBC7 kit includes 25...

  • What All is Needed to Tow a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder SL Behind a Motorhome
  • In order to tow your 2017 Nissan Pathfinder SL behind your RV you'll actually need to tow it using a tow dolly, otherwise you'll ruin the transmission. I checked with the online owner's manual for your vehicle and it states to only tow a 2WD 2017 Pathfinder using a tow dolly (front wheels on the dolly). From what I can find the SL version that you have is a 2WD so you are good to go there (if it was 4WD then you'd have to tow it on a trailer). For your application I highly recommend the...

  • Correct Thule Fairing Size for Use on 2010 Nissan Pathfinder Roof Rack
  • The two Thule square bar roof racks that fit your 2010 Nissan Pathfinder with factory installed rails that run front to back both use 50-inch square load bars. The recommended fairing size for these bars is Thule's 38-inch fairing # TH72WV which is shown in the linked video. The fairing will help to reduce wind-generated noise at higher speeds. It can be used either with or without the Thule logo facing forward.

  • Do Thule Lock Parts 853-5917 & 753-3725-02 Work Without a Lock Core Installed
  • The Thule Replacement Lock Housing # 753-3725-02 will not engage the Replacement Threaded Pin # 853-5917 until you install a Thule lock core # TH512. This kit includes two cores (so you have a spare) and also a Universal Control Key which is needed to install and remove the core.

  • Brake Controller and 7-Way Installation on 2012 Nissan Pathfinder with 4-Pole Trailer Connector
  • If your 2012 Pathfinder did not come from the factory with a 7-way at the rear bumper, just a 4-pole flat connector, there probably is not be a brake control connection port under the dash. The linked video will illustrate the location of the port on a 2013 Pathfinder that has a factory 7-way. Please refer to the 2:45 mark in the video. If you do not have the under-dash port you'll simply use installation kit # ETBC7 instead of the quick-connect harness # 3050-P. The ETBC7 includes wiring,...

  • Adding a 7-Way Trailer Connector and Brake Controller to a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder
  • In order to add a 7-Way trailer connector to your 2008 Nissan Pathfinder you will need a 4 and 7 Way Installation Kit, # ETBC7. This will provide a 7-Way trailer connector at the back of the vehicle and all of the wiring to install a brake controller. A brake controller is needed in order to activate the trailer brakes. For a brake controller, I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, # 90885. It is one of our most popular models because it is easy to set up and easy to use. I have included...

  • Recommended Harness For My Tekonsha P2 Controller For A 2012 Nissan Pathfinder
  • When it comes to the correct harness for your Tekonsha P2 for your 2012 Nissan Pathfinder The Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers - Nissan and Infiniti # 3050-P. This custom connector end plugs into the built-in port beneath the dash of your vehicle, the other end plugs into the back of your electric brake controller. I attached a review video link below.

  • Running Boards Confirmed to Fit a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder
  • We do have running boards and nerf bars confirmed to fit your 2013 Nissan Pathfinder. I've linked our selection but none of them are motorized. My favorite that we carry are the DeeZee NXc, part # DZ16201-16253. I like the large 5 inch wide step.

  • Parts Needed to Change 4-Way on 2012 Nissan Pathfinder to 7-Way for Trailer
  • I do have a solution for you, but the Curt T-Connector # C55774 that you referenced is not a confirmed fit for your 2012 Nissan Pathfinder. If you just need the light functions to work on your trailer then what you will want to use is the Hopkins Adapter # 37185 which will convert your 4-Way to a 4-Way and 7-Way. If you are needing to utilize brakes on your trailer, which is common when they have a 7-Way, you will instead want to install the Tekonsha T-One # 118266. The black plug will...

  • Suspension Enhancement for a 2020 Nissan Pathfinder
  • The only suspension enhancement available for your 2020 Nissan Pathfinder is the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4118. These air bags install inside the coil springs on your Pathfinder and help to offer extra resistance for leveling and better control of the vehicle. I do recommend using the Bulldog Winch Portable Air Compressor # BDW41001 to inflate the air bags when needed. This compressor can easily plug into the 12V power outlet in the trunk of your Pathfinder and it includes...

  • Tekonsha Voyager Brake Controller Installation in 2006 Nissan Pathfinder
  • If your Pathfinder has a factory-installed 7-way trailer connector then installation of the Voyager brake controller # 39510 will require only the wiring adapter # 3050-P. For a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder that does not have any existing trailer wiring, the easiest way to install a trailer brake controller is to use our # ETBC7 kit along with harness and relay kit # 118266. You will end up with an extra 7-way but that's not a bad thing as they can require replacement after a period of time. Installation...

  • Shipping Weight On The Curt Trailer Hitch # C45DR
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C46DR weighs 39 pounds. The hitch is confirmed to fit your 2022 Nissan Pathfinder. The hitch has a bolt-on installation with no welding required. It has a gloss black powder coat finish that is over a protective base coat that offers a superior rust resistance. The trailer hitch has a maximum gross trailer weight of 6,000 pounds and has a maximum tongue weight up to 900 pounds. I would recommend checking your vehicle's manual to find out the proper towing...

  • Installing a 7-Way Trailer Connector on a 2009 Nissan Pathfinder with a Factory 4-Way
  • Since you already have a factory 4-way trailer connector on your 2009 Nissan Pathfinder use our # ETBC7 kit to convert it to a 7-way. It uses your existing 4-way and leaves you with a fully functioning 7-way with a 4-way as well. I've linked a video of the kit being installed on an Xterra for you. The vehicle is different but the process is basically the same. Then to install the P3, part # 90195, there should be a connector under your Pathfinder's dashboard. Use part # 3050-P to connect...

  • Is a Weight Distribution System Needed for a 2012 Nissan Pathfinder to Tow a 2014 Jayco x18d
  • Based on the figures you have provided, I would recommend using a weight distribution system if the trailer hitch on your vehicle is rated for weight distribution. Weight distribution is recommended if the trailer weighs more than 50 percent of the tow vehicles weight. Your 2012 Nissan Pathfinder probably weighs in the ball park of 5,000 to 5,500 lbs. Before choosing a weight distribution system, you will want to make sure your trailer hitch is rated for weight distribution. Your owners...

  • What is Needed to Set Up a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder to Tow a Trailer with Electric Brakes
  • The ETBC7 kit you were looking at coupled with a good brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, part # 90885, would be all that is needed to set up your Pathfinder. Any trailer with electric brakes that uses a standard 7-way will plug in. I have added a light walk-through of how the ETBC7 is wired and have included links to a couple videos that may be helpful. Sine you have a 4-Way installed and working properly, you can start wiring your 7-Way. You will plug the 4-Way on the Nissan...
