Towing Options For A 1999 Nissan Pathfinder With Automatic Transmission

Go to page 177 for towing options. Your model can't be 4-down towed. I suggest you contact your dealer or towing specialist for possible modifications to the vehicle.

Engine/Suspension
All 1999 Pathfinder models come equipped with a powerful V6 engine capable of handling virtually any driving condition on or off the trail. The 3.3-liter single-overhead-cam (SOHC) V6 engine delivers 168 horsepower at 4,800 rpm and 196 ft-lbs of torque at 2,800 rpm. The Pathfinder's extremely flat torque curve - more than 90 percent of the engine torque is available in the 1,500 to 1,800 rpm range - offers excellent response, off-road control and a towing capacity of 5,000 lbs. (with automatic transmission).

The Pathfinder's advanced SOFIS (Sophisticated Optimized Fuel Injection System) system optimizes the engine's air/fuel mixture under all driving and atmospheric conditions by sensing and correcting fuel flow delays inside the intake ports.

The 3.3-liter engine is available with a 5-speed manual or electronically controlled 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. Four-wheel drive Pathfinders feature a shift-on-the-fly transfer case, which can be engaged at speeds up to 50 miles per hour.

Pathfinder offers competitive fuel economy with an EPA-estimated 17/19 mpg City/Highway when fitted with the 4x2 5-speed manual transmission, and 16/20 mpg City/Highway when equipped with the 4x2 4-speed automatic transmission. Pathfinders equipped with 4-wheel drive offer fuel economy of 16/18 mpg City/Highway when fitted with the 4x4 5-speed manual transmission, and 15/19 mpg City/Highway when equipped with the 4x4 4-speed automatic transmission

The 1999 Pathfinder utilizes a 5-link rear suspension design with coil springs and shocks that are placed outboard to enhance stability and increase control of body lean. Stabilizer bars are placed in the front and rear, further enhancing vehicle handling, resulting in more predictable overall handling.

Standard on all 1999 Pathfinder models is a 4-wheel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). When traveling over loose surfaces (such as gravel or sand), the Nissan Pathfinder's unique G-sensor "reads" the driving surface and adjusts braking control accordingly, overcoming the "skimming" effect apparent in most other vehicles. Every Pathfinder also comes with a standard power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering system for ease of maneuverability and a tight turning radius.
