Welcome to the forum!

Since you asked, you might want to double check the towing capacity of your pathfinder. It looks like the gross vehicle weight of your trailer is close to 7000 pounds and I think the maximum a pathfinder can tow is 6000 pounds.

You have to take the weight of your fully loaded tow vehicle, gross vehicle weight rating, and add it to your trailer’s fully loaded weight rating. That number is your gross combined weight. The gross combined weight cannot exceed the gross combined weight rating for your tow vehicle, GCWR.

Also, you cannot exceed your tow vehicles gross vehicle weight rating, GVWR. This is your vehicles dry weight plus the maximum payload capacity. Your payload capacity is on a sticker inside the drivers door. This is the weight of all occupants and cargo, including hitch weight, your tow vehicle can carry.

You also may want to consider the relatively short wheel base of a pathfinder towing a 27 foot long trailer.

Are you planning on using weight distribution and sway control?

I apologize if this is information overload
