Bar far the best Rock Creek review I have seen. And I've seen most. I've been a Nissan guy since Datsun. With 9 cars from local dealership.....they like us. I just bought mine today. Same color and all. Cheers and thanks.

So basically, put a 2" lift kit & maybe some real skid plates & you got an elite off-road rig?

Thank you for the informative video showcasing the vehicle's capabilities as well as some of its shortfalls. For a family in need of a 3-row SUV, this OEM package may very well be the king of the cross-overs at this time.

Nice job on testing its abilities.

... TY for this ... the tires really give this vehicle more range off road and I imagine one has to be smart about not push'n it too far ... good job Nissan ...

Nissan Pathfinder interior design and exterior design.Way much better than a cheaply built Toyota Highlander. Now it got 9-speed automatic transmission so I am going to order one for my family for holiday adventures.

Love my new Rock Creek!

That's not a bad looking rig 👍

Hi Ben. Really liking your channel. Your reviews are great. Was wondering if you think this Rock Creek would be able to do the 100 mile White Rim Road in Canyonlands. Especially with a 2" lift and slightly bigger tires. I know Suburus have done it. Just wasn't sure if your trail is similar that trail. Thanks.

I wonder why Nissan doesn’t just bump the suspension an extra inch to 8.7. A Subaru standard clearance. I understand fuel economy, highway wind noise, and handling are impacted but for a rock creek edition this is a must. This awd system is so impressive for a mainstream crossover compared to a highlander or a pilot. Such a shame…

This is the review I was looking for. Well done. With Jeep and Ford capitalizing so well with the true off-roading crowd, and Toyota, Chevy, and Dodge having some capable rigs, it is sad that Nissan hasn't developed a next gen Xterra. I guess the Pathfinder is at least not the ridiculous, disappointing travesty that Chevy's Blazer turned out to be!

Don't get me wrong I think everybody knows this isn't a hard-core off roader but I think Nissan's Awd / 4wd system in the Pathfinder and the Murano is underrated. I know 1st hand after getting caught in Gatlinburg, TN in a out of nowhere snowstorm the Murano Awd is like a mountain goat. We were going past full size trucks and Jeeps that were stuck on the highway and we never even slipped. Wouldn't have believed it for nothing if I hadn't been driving. 😎💪💪👍👍🤙

I just traded in my Rogue with 4 AWD and never got stuck after 275K mi. Hit something hard and bent the frame, had to let her go. But I pick up the exact color and model as in the vid so I'm excited. Cheers.

Not surprising. There is a significant difference between offroad/rock crawling and moderate speed snow travel, with AWD vehicles with advanced traction control doing much better in the snow, but fairing poorly in slow speed rock crawling/loose gravel due to it’s inability to figure out what to do and apply appropriate power.

The muranos awd is trash and will overheat in 2.3 seconds if you push it on the slightest uphill test

Ive got the 2024 rock creek and im very very happy with it so far. Its way more capable then I actually thought it would be! Im a happy camper. Just sold my 21 ford ranger for this thing. :)

campe? yes that rock creek will do.... it cannot just do it in serious off road due to poor ground clearance. can't change the tire anymore to a bigger cause of poor distance from tire to mud guard, they should make more distance. or immitate the ground clearance of prado

Someone has finally figured a way to get a 2 inch lift. Couple that with a taller tire and it would be gold

I want to see you do that stuff with the bronco sport badlands, and Ford explorer timberline edition.

i would be amaze if they can immitate the ground clearance of prado, 10inches if im not mistaken.... prado has only 18 inches tire but with 10inches ground clearance, Im so amazed how they did it

Interesante. Yo modificaria la suspensión, subirlo unas 4 pulgadas como mínimo. Saludos desde estas Honduras.

any recommandation on after market lift kit for this.. Just bought that Pathfinder and would definitively like to see more ground clearance

Great review! Love the Pebble Edition. Wish they kept the name Rogue XL, much more fitting. Keep it up.

nissan need to offer the Pathfinder with a 3" lift " Pathfinder Trail Maker"

Great video Ben. Hopefully you can get your hands on a Subaru Ascent.

I want somebody with a Grand Cherokee Trailhawk to try that sandy hill in rock mode and 4-Low. If it still can't make it up, that would be sad. As for Nissan, everyone is asking them for more ground clearance, but they won't do it.

I wanna see the ford explorer timberline do this cors

Will you take the 2023 Pilot trailsport on this trail?

Can we increase the ground clearance by like 2-3 inches?

Did you get any transmission overheating during this entire test drive?

Is this technically a crossover? Aren't most crossovers unibody and car-based?

Do you have this test with a Acadia or Terrain AT4?

yes its capable no question but ground clearance doesnt permit it. this car is only for camping,

Have you tested the Subaru Outback Wilderness up that hill? Wondering how the Outback Wilderness compares to the Pathfinder Rock Creek. The only thing I don't like about the Subaru is the CVT.

@@elmatadormartinezify Nope. The Outback Wilderness has 9.5 inches and it has a front skid plate. It will most likely be much more capable than the Nissan off road.

I’d take this over a Subaru

Why is everyone referring to this as a crossover?

Would this be viable on the beach? Or would you need a dedicated low end like a traditional 4X4?

@nunosapunso6239

Жыл бұрын

You will need to air down on the beach which will bring that 7.7 inch ground clearance even lower. That’s not good especially in ruts. Once the axles get in the sand, you’re done for and will need to be pulled out. It won’t matter if you have the best 4x4 system. Simply put, it needs a higher ground clearance for driving in soft sand.

I’m looking to buy this or the sl does the rock creek make more noise and drive and ride rougher on the main road ? Great video i really enjoyed it. Subscribe

Just bought mine (Rock Creek) today. The noise is nothing I wouldn't expect from a new/different vehicle. And adapted within 2 hours. You are adapting to a lot with a new vehicle. It drives great with 7 different modes. Mostly Sport for me. I have a lot of pot holes in the city so this will help. Cheers.

Put a lift kit on and you’ll be fine lol

Too much AWD crap in vehicles these days. They need 4WD. Maybe a rear locker or at least an LSD and ability to full disengage any kind of traction control.

It's a soft-roader. Not an off-roader.

You can just lift it 4 inches if it is that capable

Good looking crossover thats capable for fake-light off roading, it's Nissan trying to make up for not making an Xterra anymore (when they still make the truck it is based on ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). Neat offering for moms who want something like an AT4 Acadia (meaning fake capability but a great look). Not saying it's a bad product, it's a great product in the market. I think the "king of the 3 row crossovers" as he said, still no substitute for a real off roader.

Ford timberline vs Nissan

That ground clearance is not good for off roading. Needs a lift.

now take a kia telluride there great job nissan

7.7 inches of ground clearance for offroading? LOL my 2011 forester has 8.7 and its not meant for offroading.. just saying.

Not even joking, I could make it up that course in my nissan altima

Lol, there's always one of you chuckleheads in every youtube comment section. Like the guy at work who told me his Tacoma TRD Pro could go 150 mph. 🙄

If you knew how to drive a little better you would have seen that if you would have just kept going your front left wheel would have came up on to the next hump and that would have given you a lot more ground clearance by the time you're back tire hit you would have been home free!

The new package is definitely not for off-roading; it's more for aesthetics and is equipped to push through any weather thrown at ya. Folks, DO NOT attempt this challenge or risk kissing your viewing of other test drives goodbye.

This was a terrible video. It's not for major offroad but it would be great for camping or fishing trips etc... This guy makes it look like it can't do anything and he isn't very experienced in offroad
