It looks like the unloaded vehicle weight of the R-Pod 183G is 2765. Your 2014 Nissan Pathfinder has a towing capacity of 5,000 lbs. Since this trailer when loaded will be almost 50 percent of the weight of your vehicle, I recommend using a weight distribution system. The R-pod has a hitch weight of 300 lbs unloaded, so once you have a loaded tongue and add any cargo behind your rear axle of your Pathfinder, you will have the range for your weight distribution system.
For the system that will work great with this trailer and your vehicle, I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System # FA92-00-0800. Not only will this system help your ride be smoother, but it will also help keep your trailer from swaying with any crosswinds or passing vehicles. This system uses spring bars metal on metal friction to keep your trailer in line with your vehicle and eases turns to keep the trailer moving as it should. For this system you will need a 2 inch hitch ball like # A-90 or a 2-5/16 inch hitch ball like # 19286 depending on the coupler of your trailer.

We got a reunion 17300. Fully installed at its lowest, the trailer is still being lifted. We need it lower. We drive a dodge durango and tow a 183g rpod.
