I just spotted an '01 Pathy for sale on our local Craigslist, and it's got a feature I've never seen on the R50 model: a tailgate-mounted spare tire holder! :wtf2:

Has anyone else seen this? I've owned my '01 for three years, and I'm always "Pathfinder conscious" - I tend to notice R50's whenever I'm out, but I've never seen this before. Does anyone have any info on this?

They are definitely out there.


You cannot install this carrier on an R50 that didn't come with the option, as the body structure is beefed up where it mounts

Ive seen a few and im not a fan. Thats an XE pathfinder the base model. No fender flares, mudflaps, foglights or Bose Audio. In your owners manual it should have a picture of the different types of spare tire setups

As others have posted, it is a factory option. A very rare option that was only offered on XE and some year SE models. Everything else recieved the under cover spare mount. When I priced the rear spare option for a customer, I believe it came out to the $2200 mark and obviously he was very pissed and hung up. I would be too at that price-tag lol.

If anyone needs Parts Numbers, I can help, I've been a Nissan Parts Dept employee for 6 years, and have the Nissan FAST parts program on my laptop. I am no longer a Nissan employee but can still help you guys out. All that I would need is your VIN# and what your looking for and can provide PN# so you can call the dealer to compare pricing :)


As you can see from the picture, everyone has the typical under bumper spare as in all the parts on the left bottom of the picture.
