Just an update
We did our two week off grid trip in June/July to the Eastern Sierras (Convict, Mammoth, June and Twin Lakes). 700 miles of towing up big grades to 9000' elevation lakes. The 2015 Pathfinder did great pulling the fully stocked (Water, food, generator, clothing ect)trailer and 3 people with a dog. Loaded I figure the trailer was probably around 3700-4000 pounds. Gas millage took a big hit though from 26MPG normal down to 14MPG for the trip. As for off grid, the solar and generator did great. We just went to a dump station every 3 days and only ran out of fresh water once.

Here's our trusty Acura MDX and new 179. We'll be leaving on the 179's maiden voyage to Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia in a couple of days and we can't wait.

Ready for our first trip out. Towed fine without sway control for a short trip. Will install one before a long trip on the interstate.

Finally getting around to posting a picture. Picked up Aug 27, only had it out twice. Santa Fe towed very well, have not gone farther than local spot 20 miles away  but hopefully a more adventurous trip soon.
