*1: All towing above 1,000 lb (454 kg) requires the use
of trailer brakes. INFINITI recommends the use of
a tandem axle trailer whenever towing above 3,000
lb (1,361 kg).
*2: A sway control device is recommended for all
towing above 2,000 lb (907 kg). Sway control
devices are not offered by INFINITI. See a profes-
sional trailer/hitch outlet for a properly designed
sway control device for your trailer.
Trailer hitch
Choose a proper hitch for your vehicle and
trailer. Make sure the trailer hitch is securely
attached to the vehicle, to help avoid personal
injury or property damage due to sway caused
by crosswinds, rough road surfaces or pass-
ing trucks.
CAUTION
O Special hitches which include
frame reinforcements are re-
quired for towing above 2,000 lb
(907 kg). Suitable Genuine
NISSAN hitches for pickup truck
and Pathfinder models are avail-
able at your Nissan dealer.
O Do not use axle-mounted hitches.
O Do not modify the vehicle exhaust
system, brake system, etc. when
the hitch is installed. After the
hitch is removed, seal the bolt
holes to prevent exhaust fumes,
water or dust from entering the
passenger compartment.
O Check regularly to make sure that
all trailer hitch mounting bolts
are securely fastened.
O To reduce the possibility of addi-
tional damage if your vehicle is
struck from the rear, where prac-
tical, remove the hitch when not
in use. Remove the receiver when
not in use.
