Trailer lights are a plug-in job on this one. CURT 55361 is the four-flat plug harness for the 2003 Nissan Pathfinder, $84.92 CAD, and it clicks into the factory connector so you're not splicing wires behind the bumper.

2003 Nissan Pathfinder hitch questions

Which trailer hitch fits a 2003 Nissan Pathfinder?

CURT 13088 is a Class 3 hitch with a 2-inch receiver, rated to 5,000 lb gross trailer weight and 500 lb tongue weight.

How much can a 2003 Nissan Pathfinder tow with this hitch?

The hitch is rated to 5,000 lb gross trailer weight and 500 lb tongue weight, or 6,000 lb with a weight-distribution hitch. Your Pathfinder has its own tow rating in the owner's manual, and the lower number is your limit. A loaded bike rack counts against tongue weight too.

Do I need a wiring harness for the 2003 Nissan Pathfinder?

If a trailer is going on, yes. Brake and turn signals have to work, and CURT 55361 plugs into the factory connector so the trailer lights follow the Pathfinder's. Order it with the hitch and it's one install.
