Nissan Pathfinder is quite a mighty puller, offering a towing capacity of a whopping 6,000 lbs. This is adequate capacity for many trailers based on campers weight by type: travel trailers 7300 lbs, popups 2500 lbs, teardrops 1200 lbs.
If you’re looking for the best towing SUV that isn’t a truck, you’ll probably find several in the 3-row crossover aisle, and the Pathfinder is an excellent choice. It’s a seven-seater designed for people who want a spacious, competent family carrier.
The FWD S packs a 3.5-liter DOHC 24-valve V6 engine which outputs 284 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 259 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm, which is enough to tow up to 6,000 lbs. What’s more, this model isn’t a fuel guzzler; you can get 27 mpg on the highway and 20 mpg in the city.
