While the Nissan Pathfinder has a maximum towing capacity of up to 6,000 pounds compared to the Ford Explorer® with a maximum towing capacity of up to 5,600 pounds, the Ford Explorer® offers far better performance whether you're accelerating or tackling hills thanks to its 3.0-liter EcoBoost® V6 engine.
