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.

[@97I30T]

Matt Ruzicka My point was that the new Pathfinder got its ass handed to it by the old one in a drag race. Nissan has really gone downhill ever since they started using CVTs in everything. I refuse to buy one of their CVT laden pieces of garbage. I'd rather have a real truck like the old pathfinder. The new one is basically a minivan without sliding doors.

[@97I30T]

Victor Creed Well, yeah but not all of them are putting pathetic CVTs in their cars though. A lot of people avoid Nissan specifically because of their CVTs.

[@anrew4425]

KentB27 they arnt trash. Just put the wrong transmission in. They could have used a 7 speed and have been golden. Its the main reason why i bought a 2012 3rd gen pathy over the 2013 4th gen. That cvt. I would have got a maxima or frontier though.

Nathan made a good point, truck based SUVs don't sell as well as cross-overs. There are a couple of exceptions.

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.

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.

One of the BEST reviews ever 👌

[@lifestooshort6801]

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.

[@anrew4425]

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.

[@konaman23]

Nope wasn't my fault. Purposely bought the 3rd Gen over the current one. I wanted the actual 4wd and truck chassis for towing trailers. And was willing to pay for the lower mpg. Ride quality is a whole lot better then my 2nd Gen xterra. It's all about perspective. Please do a off road comparison!

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.

No. Just no. My wife has a 2017 Pathfinder. Its not AWD, but with nearly 300 HP, its verly well powered for what it is. Had they done a rolling start, the 4th gen would have killed the 3rd gen. The CVT in the 4th gen has this weird issue where it doesnt want to catch the right ratio if you give it hard acceleratation from a dead stop. However, when it does "catch" the tires try to break traction and there's so much torque-steer that you can't keep the wheels straight. I'm confident that any 4th gen would smoke a 3rd gen given the right driver.

Recently purchased a preowned 2008 V8 LE. My brother in law has a 2011 Armada. The driving dynamics are totally different. The Pathy V8 is faster, shorter turning radius, and gets better gas mpg, because it weighs about 650lbs less. It was wholesaled out to me, because of a few maintenance issues. Couldn't be happier. It's a blast to drive and other drivers back off once they see the V8 emblem and hear the exhaust note, lol. One thing I find strange is that the Tow-Haul button synchronizing the transmission during towing was not available on the V8? Such an option was on both the Armada and Titan.

[@dantomtishen6582]

Nathan was that your personal car?

[@gilwhitney6436]

2008 Pathy here. Beside tires, brakes and fluid changes, stellar reliability. Now my 2001 VW Passat 1.8t, - that was a hot mess.

I'll stay with the older one, I hate those horrible cvt transmissions. The newer Nissans would be faster if it used a regular original transmission and not no cvt.

Nice review. Thank you TFL

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.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that 4th gen pathfinder was to replace the Nissan Quest.

[@abdou5554]

I don't care which one is faster, but I would like to see witch of the all Nissan models is stronger.. and I think since Nissan renault merger ... it's going bad for all models... I have my own 2008 Pathfinder and I know it is the best car for me... Thanks for the video

My friend has the new version I have the older one the only money I have spent is for tires, never had an issue. My friend had to change master cylinder, brakes, abs sensors and tires. Always something.

I wouldn't be caught dead in the minivan pathfinder. The old one was even available with a V8. P.S. I own a Nissan Xterra 4x4 which is a shorter pathfinder.

[@Chrispimp33]

End. There's also another older Pat. Fine thursday that has 5.6 v8

[@erickar2634]
