Your Patherfinder has a wheelbase of 112inches, my mini-van has a wheel base of 121inches, an F-150 with the super crew cab and a short (5.5ft box) has a wheelbase of 139 inches. You'll have plently of power but for stability I think that WDH would make all the difference. The way I understand...

Buick Terazza with the 3500 engine and aux trans cooler. Brake controller, WD-hitch, and friction sway bar. Very stable great on off-highway roads 55mph and under, highway travel could use some more power in reserve - 60mph is about max crusing speed. Rated for the standard mini-van 3500lbs.

Is anyone out there towing their MPG with a minivan? Technically my minivan has the specs to tow the MPG (rated for 3500lbs) but when I start to consider GCWR and available payload things start to get fuzzy. 2006 Buick Terraza. Thanks.
