Nissan Pathfinder 
Campers take note: when properly equipped, the Pathfinder has a towing capacity of 6000 pounds (2722 kg), which is unequalled among midsize crossovers designed primarily for road use. With a roomy seven-seat cabin, the Pathfinder is almost as practical as a minivan. All versions feature a 3.5L V6 with 284 horsepower and 259 lb·ft of torque, paired with a continuously variable automatic. Front-wheel drive comes standard while all-wheel drive is optional.
