Expert Reply:
From my available specs on your 2015 Nissan Pathfinder, your 2015 Nissan Pathfinder has either a bare roof or raised factory side rails. We carry great roof racks for both roof types.
If you have a bare roof, I recommend the following setup:
- Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 59" # RRVA150B-2
- Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Naked Roofs or Fixed Mounting Points # RRRLKVA
- Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs - Naked Roof # DK407
- All-Metal Lock Cores # RRVA-LEC4
If you have raised rails, I recommend the following setup:
- Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 49" # RRVA126B-2
- Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Raised Factory Side Rails # RRSX100
- All-Metal Lock Cores # RRVA-LEC4
With both of these Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero roof rack systems, you receive the benefits of extremely aerodynamic system that leads to a quieter ride and maximized fuel efficiency. Also, with the full-length t-slots, the Vortex Aero crossbars are compatible with most t-slot mounted accessories.
The roof rack for your bare roof provides you with 165 pounds of maximum weight capacity and the roof rack for your raised rails gives you 143 pounds of maximum weight capacity. As with any roof rack system, I recommend consulting with your owner's manual to make sure your roof can handle the weight you wish to transport.
