Pulls 6000lbs. Handles well. Pretty quick handles like a truck, not for the spoiled. If you want cute and fancy buy something else. Good mpg on ther open road. You do your part in maintenance it'll last and last and last. Are there better? Of course, it ain't cute it's handsome. Lol!!! Tuff SUV, IT'S WORTH WAY PENNY.

...continued...Towed about 1,500 lbs. of rocks for 4 hours through the Adirondacks on Sunday and achieved an admirable 19.4 mpgs. The auto-shift is great and worked smooth going up the some of the steeper hills. Parked next to a relatively new Grand Cherokee on the ferry and the PF dwarfed it even loaded down with suitcases and the trailer.

I survived a rear in car crash in my Pathfinder, from a fellow going 40 mph and I was at a dead stop. Just a few weeks later I was hit in a head-on car crash! The car saved my life! It can really take a pounding.

Me again. Just used the new PF to tow crushed stone. Was able to pull 2,800 lbs. effortlessly. The truck did not sink hardly at all when the bucket loader was filling the trailer...our old '03 used to drop it's tail end so much that it looked like the rear wheels would rub. I will need to get a larger drop hitch though, as the trailer is at quite an angle coming off the 2" drop from the old rig. Stay tuned...
