Expert Reply:
In order to tow a trailer with a 2020 Nissan Pathfinder you'll need at the very least a trailer hitch, wiring harness, and ball mount/hitch ball. If the trailer has brakes, you'll also need a trailer brake controller. I'd also probably recommend a set of towing mirrors to help with visibility as well. I have attached for you below a full list of these parts.
