Pretty good offroad review for not owning the trucks. Reviewers nowadays are scared to drive them in the rain.

I've owned two Cherokees (93 and 89), and two Pathfinders (95 and 97). They were all honestly the best vehicles I've ever owned, and the most fun to drive. They were all well built, and never gave me problems, even after their 200k mark. There's no such thing as a real SUV anymore, only these crossover grocery getters that couldn't handle a small hill without struggling

This video is so fun. The testing isn’t unlike how a lot of car KZreadrs test offroad vehicles today. Just a group of guys and a group of cars having fun. This video definitely helped seal the deal on the ‘94 S10 Blazer I just bought recently! I can already tell it’s gonna be a great ride for any situation

The pathefinders on the other hand had a single rust issue where the strut tower sheet metal would rot out around them along with the shock mounts even though the floors and body panels still looked fine.

Very true. An excellent engine, but really belonged in a car (originally in a 1984 300ZX and 1985 Maxima). Only 153hp (as truck-configured) at it's best (180 lb/ft). Not nearly enough for these very heavy applications but back then, that was all the V6 Nissan had. In '96, it got enlarged to 3.3l and 168-170hp, but very little improvement in outward power ( a little better down-low tq). Circa 2000, the VQ engine finally gave this style some significant oomph.

I have a Mazda Navajo, which is pretty much a rebadged Ford Explorer. It is a 1991. it's engine is nearly bullet proof, it hasn't given me any problems. The auto locks for 4x4 sucks (manual locks work better) and the transmission is lacking (although putting in a cooling fan helps with that problem). Other than that, it's a good car for her age. People that are knocking on the explorer only do it because of Ford's reputation and the exploding tire issues that had to do with the tires itself. She actually handles pretty well, turns better than smaller cars (like our eclipse). I love our beast.

UPDATE: when all the cars in my house failed miserably like they I have been lately, good old pathfinder saves the day, my only complaint is the fuel mileage and the electronics on my truck are garbage, but it was my fault, I took a single contact light bulb and by accident I put it in a double contact light bulb socket, and that shorted out all the electronic gadgets in my truck, the power locks have mind of their own, when you activate the rear switch for rear wiper blade it activates the rear lock mechanism, when you turn on the truck the gas gauge goes crazy and it only reads when the truck has the ignition switch on, on of the windows the polarity has reversed, so it works opposite direction of the switches and half the dash board does light up when you turn on your head lights, and this all because that short that I caused, if you can put up with a few electrical gremlins here and there a poor gas mileage ( I think I'm getting 15 mpg not sure) this is the truck for you, and I got mine from grandpa and I haven't paid any attention to the mileage but it has to be over 625k, I'm looking forward to buy new wheels from 2007 Nissan frontier if I'm not mistaking and send it to paint, truck deserves it, it really has been great, now I'm looking for a second one but the pick up version the D-21 and I want the v6 version.

Bulletproof? The 3.0 V6 (3VZ-E) might be the worst engine Toyota has EVER installed in a truck. Very underpowered, needed to be torn down regularly to change the timing belt, powerband totally wrong for a truck (no low-end torque), and had serious, often non-repairable (short of replacing the engine) head gasket problems.

We had a 1990 Pathfinder XE then traded it for a 1995 SE Pathfinder. Both them both new. Loved both of them. Super reliable. The SE is still to me one of the best looking SUVs ever.

My SUV of choice for that era would be either a Jeep Cherokee (with the 4.0 straight six) or the Chevrolet Blazer/GMC Jimmy, I still see lots of Jeep Cherokee's and the Chevrolet Blazer/GMC Jimmy's of this era but rarely see the other SUV's.

The 4runner and Cherokee are the only one’s you see now a day’s been used in heavy off roading

In older cars power windows came and that was a good, useful thing, so was power steering, and power brakes, and better automatic transmissions, those were reasons people upgraded cars every couple years, now all journalists talk about is “the screen” and “Bluetooth” cool, but in the future these will be seen as crummy advancements versus cars of old, which got better over time with useful upgrades

The worst thing ever invented for vehicles was the automatic transmission. And seriously...what is the big deal with power steering? Having driven vehicles without it...I seriously do not see the big deal.

out of the five, I'll bet the 4runner is the only one still running to this day!

Still see some of the 4runners of that generation around . Had 412k on original 3.0 and tyranny until headgasket blew

SUVs back then each had a distinct look. I can’t tell today’s by their make and model. They all look the same.

This is the type of testing they NEED to continue doing with present day 4x4s.

Only a stock 4Runner could do this today

I wish there was an old Isuzu in this

Gimme that 91 cherokee i had a 91 laredo you could not kill the thing i tried sold it to a young high school kid with 210k on it you should have seen the smile on his face when he came back from the test drive it was straight piped and i could hear him gettn on it i knew at that moment it was sold

Golden times

funny that after 10 years of being on the road only the Nissan, Toyota and the jeep would still be going strong. The jeep would have a couple of frame welds though.

Yet you’ll see old 4runners doing things not many others could do 20 years later

I loved my blazer.

Weird that the S-10 and Explorer were favourites, considering how hard people drove 4Runners off road back then.

I have a 91 blazer exact same but red and jeeps wont make it were it will

Alright i work on these all day. Explorers.... They show their age something fierce... Blazer - Of that generation they are rare... Most are left in fields. Cherokee - Just used as off road bush vehicles now. So they hold up pretty well 4Runner - They last forever just like any other toyota... Minus their super rusting bumpers Pathfinders - So many being sold. They seem okay? I dunno im looking into some dunno if theyre any good or not.

Those 4Runners has serious engine problems.The 3.0 (3VZ-E), in addition to being very underpowered, has serious head gasket problems...the fix frequently being a new engine.
