With the traffic there and how people drive I would want a CVT if I lived there. I took my moms Murano up there once (2011 with the CVT) and it was honestly a great transmission to have there. My car with the 5 speed is constantly hunting for gears. I couldn't imagine something with more gears

The good ground clearance and aproach and departure angles? The fact it came with 32inch tires from the factory? The fact it can carry more on its roof than most vehicles? the 5000lb tow rating that eclipses the 3500lbs of other 4x4 rigs with 4 doors? The 0-60 in a respectable 7 seconds? I just want to know.

    My wife has a 2008 Pathfinder 4x4. In the last 9 years she's accumulated 159,500 miles, and in that time we replaced two batteries, three sets of tires, front brake pads at 126K miles, and one U-joint. Other than that, just fluid changes. This thing has been slightly more reliable than my 4 Runner, which really says a lot! As Nathan mentioned, the downsides are a ride that is not quite as nice and gas mileage that falls short compared to more recent vehicles. Still, we get just under 19 mpg average, which though not great is almost identical to my 4 Runner.

    Just turned 116,000 mi on my 2005 Pathfinder SE. This has been the best damn truck I ever owned. Yes it did need a new timing chain and the radiator replaced but both were covered under warranty. Since then just the usual maintenance items. Runs like the day I bought it. I remember the first thing that struck me when I test drove it. I hit the accelerator and it took off with such great power and response! I take it up to my cottage in Canada and pull my boat around on beaten up gravel logging roads, mud, and challenging boat landings that barely could be called that. It has never let me down! The off road macho True SUV look was not selling because they turned so many into femmed out "X Overs" with smaller engines, rounded off and lowered roof so shrunken cargo room, and lower clearance, etc. They shifted their appeal to minivan moms, marketed the hell out of them so they didn't want the soccer mom minivan image any longer. Yeah cross over meant getting moms to cross over from minivans to these things. It worked. I'm driving my actual SUV til one of our deaths are imminent. I would even consider putting a new engine in it if necessary. Also the body and frame holding up fine, just one small spot of corrosion bubbling along the passenger rear wheel, which I plan to get it touched up.

    Loving my 3rd gen pathy, base model yes, better packaged vehicles than it? Yes, but i chose this one for one big reason, reliability, they are everywhere and even new frontiers and xterras are built with the same engine, the main problem with them was before 2011 when the radiator would crack sending coolant into the built in transmission cooler destroying the transmission. Which they revised in 2011 resulting in pretty bulletproof vehicles, and to add to it the frontier is a very popular fleet vehicle after the discontinuation of the ford ranger.

    My favorite pathfinder generation is actually the one prior to his 2008 example, although it might still be considered gen 3 if that was simply a refresh. I owned a 2002 and I LOVED that car. Same great powertrain, but much better looking. The interiors and features may have improved over 6 years, but I prefer the older styling. That car was taken from me due to an accident while my wife was driving that wasn't her fault, and it totaled the car unfortunately. I absolutely loved that car, the ride and handling was great in my opinion, it felt fast and had lots of torque and midband power, the interior was very very comfortable and pleasant to be in, utilitarian and simple/minimalistic. Loved the ride height and the big tires, I never did any real off roading (mine was RWD) but I did traverse plenty of rocky/hilly dirt roads in Arizona and it handled them all with ease. Open diff unfortunately but it had no trouble spinning a tire a little bit. Engine was very smooth. I would buy another one in a heartbeat if I found a nice one with low miles... maybe a 2004... whatever the newest year that looks like the 2002 is.

    Well, I was skeptical at first and then drove one. Actually bought an ‘18. They are nice. One thing is the transmission will stay in fuel sipping mode until you stomp on it. It will throw in your seat a bit. Now, let’s be fair. The new pathfinder is wider, a bit longer and probably heavier. Add in all the electronics in it and it adds up. You have a 7 passenger now going against a 5 Multi link rear suspension versus a leaf spring Better interior materials, not the cheap ass plastic that scratched very easily. Not a bad comparison. I’ll take the improvements and better mileage any day. Not to mention they still both tow the same.

    Wife had a ‘16. Very comfortable car, great on road. I hate the styling, which is to say all crossovers they all blend. Also we had many problems. Rear hatch was sticky, then the plastic chrome around the button to open it broke and cut her hand. The electric fan burnt its bearing luckily under warranty but that would have been 1500. The front end was making a noise, I tried isolating it, Nissan and a good local garage no one could find it sounded like wheel bearing but it was good. Windshield washer tank was low bend bumper froze twice. Lousy in snow I got it stuck in driveway. All it 35000 miles. It’s gone she finally finally realized it was time for the best and only truck suv and we bought another 4Runner

    Have a 2008 LE V8 Auto AWD. Just to verify that the V8 is the 5.6 in both the Armada and Titan. Have a CIA and Bully Dog tuner and produce about 330 hp, 405 tq. Same transmission, but different clutch packs. Beefed up drivetrain of course. Not sure if you're aware, but Nissan Pathfinder/Xterra had transmission issues correlating to faulty radiator connections at the transmission cooler lines. A lot of transmissions were decimated because of this defect. Earlier owners simply bypassed the cooler part of the radiator. That being said, because of colder hard shifts, I opted to replace the radiator. I agree with your review. This model design, body on frame, is very comfortable and small steering radius make it almost nimble, lol. Love stoking the 5.6 and a lot of people are shocked they came with a V8. My 0 - 60 is right under 6 seconds with the mods thus far. Last, it can tow 7000lbs conservatively and installed $100 suspension air bags. If you haven't installed them, it was the best investment for the dollar. Cut out a significant amount of body roll. You can verify more information on your model and year through my online forums.
