Thanks for all the great advice! Made it out to the lake today and the Pathfinder did GREAT! In the water with no trouble at all and out with very little slip. Piece of cake. Now I just have to get used to backing the trailer!

Thanks AZ!

Tell me more about the airbags- a colleague at work told me about them too. Where do you get them and can you install them yourself? Which ones do you have?

The ramp I'll be using isn't all that steep and has cross hatches cut into it to aid traction. The water level in my la...

Hello all, I recently purchased a boat weighing in at 4200lbs that sits on a 1,000lb trailer. Towing capacity is 6000 lbs. Any advice on how the Pathfinder handles in this situation, things to look out for, or how it will handle on a ramp? I've gotten mixed responses- would like to hear back from an...
