Do you need a tow package for a Nissan Pathfinder?

The trim levels that include the towing package will include the harness but not the brake controller itself. All Pathfinders now come with the transmission cooler from the factory, so you don’t have to worry about that. The only thing the tow package adds is the receiver hitch and wiring harness.

Can you haul 6000 lbs in a Nissan Pathfinder?

Yes and yes. There is no reason why you shouldn’t be able to haul up to 6000 lbs. over any distance as long as you have a proper hitch setup and you figure cargo and passengers into that total. Not sure about the technology package but it may include hookups for electric braking.

Where do I find the tow weight of my hitch?

Your hitch’s maximum tow weight rating can usually be found on a label on the hitch itself. Your can find your hitch ball rating on the top of the ball, or around the base of the shank. The rating for your ball mount is usually on a label on the mounting plate or along the shaft that goes into your receiver.
