[mini hardbody]

I have a 99 (older body) in mind that i would like to buy. I have read that they have a towing capacity of 5000lbs. I have a hardbody show truck and i was wondering if the pathy would be able to tow it?

IIRC it was 3500 lbs, not 5000.

On a '95 the owner's manual state 3500 pounds.

99.5 and 2000 pathfinders pull 5,000

i think that it would be a little much for the ol' pathy...i have the 3.5" lift for it ,with the heavy duty coils and i wouldnt attempt the 5000 capasity...

The 5spd is rated at 3,500lbs tow capacity, the Automatic is rated at 5,000lbs tow capacity. So it depends on what you're getting.

I have a '97 Pathy with the VG30 and an Auto, and I pull a 3,000lb trailer with a 2,000lb boat on it all over the place, and it has no problem, and never has. I've been doing this for about 8 years, it's got 160K on the original drivetrain and not even a hickup. I maintain it well, and don't ever tow with the A/C on or in Overdrive.

Towing another truck on a trailer may be pushing it, but I'm sure it would do it no problem.
