The best way to identify the hitch on your 2013 Nissan Pathfinder is by finding the data tag put on by the manufacturer. Due to the age of your Pathfinder it is likely that if it has been on any considerable amount of time the tag may have fallen off or the information may no longer be legible.

Currently the Curt # C13126 and Draw-Tite # 76031 are the only 2 receivers we have for your Pathfinder. They are different designs and may help you to identify your receiver. Do note that there may have been other receivers available or you may have a factory receiver.

Be sure to check the condition of the hitch as well as over time they can rust which would also cause it to be weaker than the manufacturer rating. It may be best to install a new receiver if you cannot positively ID your receiver or it has any corrosion.
