I used to tow with a Nissan Pathfinder. I towed an ifor 505 and usually took a 14.2 cob and a 13.1 Arab x. Towed like a dream, loved the car. Changed for a vw touareg as I needed something to tow new trailer at 3.5t. Would happily have another if downsized trailer. New car is automatic and I would have liked an auto pathfinder but ours was manual.
i tow with a pathfinder. I tow an equitrec show trekka (quite heavy) and two 400 - 450kg horses both 14.2 - 15.2hh (legally) its great, no problems, pulls well, no hill issues and I do go up steep areas. it's long and I have along trailer but I'm managing that well. I've had it two years now with no issues. I'm hoping to keep it for a long time as I'm really happy with it. hope that helps
