I had a 2001 Nissan Primera sold here as the G20, but better because it had manual transmission. That car was solid, one of my favorites. Also, tons of people around the world relied on the old Nissan Sentras, have a similar following for Nissan Patrol, Nissan Micra, among others that are solid vehicles. Not all are perfect but some of the old versions of the models mentioned are still on the road today.

I had a 2005 Pathfinder and it was legit like a truck. The old boxy style was why this used to be a great SUV. When they turned it into a minivan, it absolutely ruined the Pathfinder name. I am so glad to see it is coming back to SUV styling instead of a minivan.

Yea... Even the XTerra was the last real off roader from Nissan. It was a real old school quirky off roader with proper 4WD and it also had a manual transmission too, and it mostly competed with Toyota's FJ Cruiser. Shame that they would kill off the XTerra back in 2014 or 2015 along with the FJ Cruiser after 15 years before the rise of trucks and SUVs, and even before the expansion of the off road market too.

Hey i just bought one of these. I actually traded my sports car for it and im absolutely in love with it.

Reasonable pricing, and I'd consider getting one, but not until there's some type of lift kit available, though I may be waiting forever.

I live the new design, and because they finally got rid of the CVT transmission, it's even better .

Good thing that they brought back bench seat for the 2nd row.

R51 Pathfinder was the last true body-on-frame off road capable truck. Nissan need to make ‘em like they used to.

They need to up the fuel economy/engine options. If the 4runner is a future hybrid/prime model it will be amazing. I like the styling on these new Pathfinders for sure.

I saw a Maroon red colored one on the road a few weeks ago and it caught my eye 2-3x. I like the interior. My only grip is the No power hatch opening cause if you go off road and come back to the vehicle it would ne nice to have the hatch open electrically if you have dirty clothes or shoes.

I'm confused by Nissan's website, becaues I can't confirm if this can be configured in 8 passenger version, which is a must for me. It would be a buy now for me if was.

Have about 30k on my 2022 pathfinder. All sorts of strange quirks with the zf. I also had to change the rear rotors and pads twice. Only seem to last about 15,000 miles. Go with Highlander or a Pilot unless you enjoy spending all your time in the shop

You should review the santa fe xrt great video!

Last spring i rebuilt an 02 pathy with a manual 5sp and added upgrades for even more offroad capability. Recently took it in to a local dealer to replace a recalled airbag. A salesman came over and says it looks great, can see I go offroad, and he can give me a great trade in for one of those rock creek mallfinders. I said forget it, that thing couldnt even run the easy trails that a couple miles away from the dealership. The guy says oh you would be surprised with what this thing can do so i said prove it. He says ok, we have some obstacles in a lot down the road. I laughed and asked what some 6in speed bumps? I said follow me to the trails and if it cant handle it I would give it some consideration. After some hmms and haass and assurances that there wasnt any mud around he finally agreed and off we went. Within a couple min the saleman in the mallfinder finds himself almost high centered on a track with ruts about 9in deep as he didnt want to run on the side and possibly scratch the doors. I jumped off the trail, ran through some brush/cactus (I'm in AZ), pulled up next to the guy, and sarcastically asked if he was having an issue and needed some help, i told him not to worry as I carry tow straps. The guy sheepishly says he thinks he can back it out and roughed up some undercarriage components as he forces the thing out in reverse. Back at the start of the rut trail I tell the guy he better head back as this is the only entry road for a few miles and he agreed. I said I think I'll keep my real pathy and since i was there was gonna go try to find some mud. The guy didn't say another word. The thing looks nice enough, has strong towing capacity, but otherwise cant handle much more than a speed bump.

Twin aftermarket exhaust on the back like a raptor and this baby gon be the hottest new kid on the school run

This thing looks meannnn!!!!

Dang it! I briefly fell for the joke exhaust thought "damn thats sto- oh"

Honestly this fixes most of my gripes with Nissan products. Even though it's the ZF9 which isn't the greatest transmission, it's still better than the CVT. Though I do wish this used a RWD architecture like the explorer so it could have an actual 4WD system.

They build the Pathfinder, lease it as the Mallfinder, and after some fender benders, when the lease is up, it is resold as a Hoodfinder. 100,000 miles later, it is resold as a Repofinder, and then is eventually stolen as a Methfinder. Nissan: Cars for when you’re trash but can usually hold a job.

The back is nice. The front they messed up the head lights imo. Reminds me of a 2012 maxima headlights...

Is there no variation of the rock creek that comes with a sunroof?

MALLFINDER. That’s a well thought out title. It fits all Nissan products’ failure to achieve off-road worthiness since their last appearance in the Baja race series when they redefined the term “off-road” as that well maintained gravel path most people refer to as driveways 😂

Try that in summer / rain In the winter the ground is usually frozen

Rock Creek with the Rockford lettering 😀😀 Wish they would use a rear bias awd setting instead.. obviously not the most fuel efficient setting but at least get a taste of the original 4x4 Pathfinder driving characteristics?

As much as this trend of "off-roady" is getting a bit crazy, I understand why everyone's trying to cash in on it seeing it sells. This looks like a great offering.

Given that the Rav 4 and Forester are similar in size, I could see people cross-shopping to a Crosstrek if interior space wasn't a priority. The forester also isn't a 3-row though. Sometimes getting less features in a manual is also a plus since that means there's less stuff that can break.
