In 2002, the Nissan Pathfinder can tow anywhere from 3,500 to 5,000 pounds, depending on the SUV's configuration. The tongue weight should be between 350 to 500 pounds to match the towing capacity. The payload capacity ranges between 1,131 to 1,164 pounds, considering the options and passenger weight. The Pathfinder delivers 240 to 265 pound-feet of torque, depending on the trim level, which determines its towing capabilities. This SUV is suitable for towing light trailers, off-road toys, and small boats. For heavier loads, a vehicle with a more powerful engine will be required.
