Transmission Cooler and Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2015 Nissan Pathfinder

Question:

I Have a 2015 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum with the factory tow package installed, and I already have air bags installed. I want to buy a trailer, and have a couple of questions.... Do I need a transmission cooler, or is the one on the vehicle ok? If so, which one? Since I already have the tow harness from the factory, does that mean that all I need is the break controller? Thanks

A supplemental transmission cooler is never a bad idea for a vehicle that is towing. I would recommend you install one on your 2015 Nissan Pathfinder as it will prolong the life of your transmission. The part # D13503 is our most popular option that would work well.

For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes.

To install it all you would need is the part # 3050-P which attaches under your dash.
