• Recommended Base Plate for a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder
  Something must be different in the 2006-2007 model years because Blue Ox does not have a base plate listed at all for the 2006-2007 model years. Roadmaster has a couple available though but they do not fit the models with a 5.6L engine.

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2012 Nissan Frontier with Two-Wheel Drive Manual Transmission
  In order to flat tow your 2012 Nissan Frontier with all four wheels on the ground, you will need a base plate kit, a tow bar, safety cables, tow bar wiring, and a supplemental braking system.
