Timing chain failures on the Pathfinder are relatively common, but that doesn't means it will happen to yours. Keeping up the service will help, and your mechanic should be able to keep an eye on it when it goes in for service.
You have to be careful not to exceed the overall GCM, that's the maximum weight allowed of the combination of vehicle and trailer, which is probably what you have done. Before you hit the road next time weigh the total weight.
You're right, the cam timing chain should last the life of the engine. They shouldn't be breaking, particularly at such low kays, as your friend's did. We have had other reports of failures in the Navara, but Nissan appears to be doing nothing about it.
