That's what we call high maintenance in more ways than one_ The fanboys need to explain one thing: if jatco cvts are so great why did Nissan do away with the cvt in the new pathfinder? Why is it now a regular automatic?

At 50k for the top trim level, you start to run up against some serious competition from Germany which many buyers will turn to instead simply for the badge. The 35-40k trim levels will likely be their best sellers, possibly luring some customer away from the aging Honda Pilot.

I just had this exact model/color Pathfinder for a two week rental. I was very impressed by the quality of it although I wasn't as impressed as these guys were with the takeoff. I thought the acceleration was kind of sluggish and it lumbered down the road rather than taking off quickly. It's very reminiscent of my previous 2008 Mercedes ML350. That said, this is basically a luxury vehicle and I kept wondering what could Nissan possible offer in their Infiiniti line that was so much better than the Pathfinder. I currently own a BMW x3 and the only thing the Pathfinder couldn't match was the quickness and speed. Also, a slight downer was that, although it was only a 2022, there was a slight sign that the leather isn't going to be the most durable over the years as the driver's seat seemed to already be losing some of its suppleness. Overall, a great vehicle even if it is a bit pricey.

As someone in the market for a 3 row SUV right now, the Rock Creek ticks all of the boxes, but doesn't come with heated steering which is a must for me since I live in Minnesota and suffer from Renaud's syndrome. I've had Nissan's since 2006 but will probably be moving to the Mazda CX9 which is still a great vehicle, but not the best fit for my 6'1" frame. Please @Nissan USA, add heated steering to the Rock Creek!

I’m curious as to your thoughts of the base instrument cluster as the digital one (as well as the heads up display) is only available on the top trim. I know you have to review what you get but most people probably will get the three lower trims.

I would have owned the previous generation if it didn't have the $$$ trainwreck of the Jatco CVT....it's back on my radar now

If you got a 2016 or newer Pathfinder/QX they were just fine. They switched over to the updated CVT8 which was so so so much better.

As a professional driver the first thing that I notice in the safety of this New Nissan Pathfinder is the the Break Lines been so close that actually rube each others and for an Off Road Vehicle this is a huge not for me, even if I was not to drive it off road. The Brakes are your Life and the Life of others and I could not drive one of this because I will always be thinking when they are going to pop and I will have not Brakes. Also this new Electronic Brake Distribution not sure how it will perform because this vehicle has the weight in the front and how the wear and tear of brakes pads will be when having different loadings at different times, only time will tell if is Safe or Not Second on my list is the Heat Control, 3 is the Big screen or monitor wherever is call because is a huge distraction when reversing actually blinds you. As a driver you must have a good depth perception and 4 point view contact that you must check almost every 3 to 4 seconds because the surroundings can change very fast to avoid accidents or vehicle damage, Cameras and all this features that manufactures are putting in vehicles are not safe but luxury and distraction, Your 4 Contact Points are your Left Mirror, Front Side,Rear Side Mirror and your Back up Mirror. Practice this 4 point Contacts All the Time you drive a vehicle and when driving always check the Points so you will know what is on your Left, on you Front, on your Right and what is behind you, Keep your distance and never Tail Gate not One and you will be driving very very Safe.
