As a Nissan dealer, we love seeing a family-friendly SUV with so many rugged features. The 2024 Nissan Pathfinder is an amazing option for your next big family road trip. Read on for a closer look at the Pathfinder’s towing capacity, seating options, and rugged capabilities.


1. Powerful Towing Capabilities

The Pathfinder is a great vehicle for family road trips, especially when you plan to bring along equipment. This large SUV has a maximum towing capacity of up to 6,000 pounds.

Your towing experience is further enhanced by smart technology. For instance, the Pathfinder has an available Tow mode that includes a downhill speed control setting. This will optimize your vehicle’s performance and minimize the amount of gear shifting required. The Pathfinder’s trailer sway control technology will also optimize performance while you’re on the road. With the Platinum trim, drivers will also be able to easily hook up their trailer using a standard tow hitch receiver with a seven-pin wiring harness.


2. Seating for Eight

The standard Pathfinder comes with three rows of seating for up to eight passengers. Drivers have the option to choose captain chairs for the second row, which then creates seating for seven. In either option, the seats easily tilt and slide, making it easy to access the third row.


3. Cargo Space

The Pathfinder has been designed with busy families in mind. When your entire family is in the vehicle, you’ll still have excellent storage space behind the third row and underneath your SUV’s floor space. These hidden cargo areas keep clutter out of sight. These spaces were also designed to be easy to clean.

Folding down the second and third rows is a simple way to maximize your cargo space. With these rows down, you’ll have 80.5 cubic feet of cargo space. The available hands-free liftgate makes it easy to access the cargo area, especially when your arms are full of groceries.


4. Rugged Capabilities

Nissan’s available intelligent 4×4 system allows you to optimize performance in low-traction conditions. This excellent feature really helps when you’re driving on sand, especially when combined with the available drive and terrain Sand mode. This system also comes with modes to enhance performance when you’re driving on gravel, snow, dirt, or in the rain.

If you love outdoor adventures, you’ll want to consider the Rock Creek trim. This option still comes with the spacious cabin of the other trims, and adds plenty of rugged features. The Rock Creek comes standard with all-terrain tires, as well as off-road-tuned suspension.
