I have a '20 Explorer 2wd with the 2.3l and it is fast! Sam you could have had the Pathfinder every time from the dig but he got you on the launches. I prefer the Explorer mostly because of the RWD layout over the Pathfinders FWD for the base models and the economy I get is so far better than the Pathfinders. I almost got the Telluride until I found out that the Explorer was RWD and had a more power 4 cycled engine with better fuel economy then the Telluride. That Pathfinder is definitely much better than the last model for sure. Great video again Sam, hopefully an Explorer ST can fall into your hands for a race!!

Most other suvs in this segment have one maybe 2 engine options. The Durango is another exception with a great engine lineup though.

@@MidnightAspec The tuned ST's are even more ridiculously fast. With a tune only on pump 93, nothing else just a paper airfilter they run mid-low 12's. On E85, or on pump 93 with some bolt ons, they run high 11's. They are ridiculous. Those Ecoboost are amazingly mod friendly. My '15 Edge Sport has the 2.7 twin turbo(the Explorer has the 3.0L), and it runs 12.9's spinning all four wheels like crazy, on just a tune. With some better grippier tires it'll run 12.7-12.8's all day. These EcoBoost V6's are nuts.

Il be honest, this sounds like a very biased review. Lets face it...because a transmission takes a half a second longer to drive from park doesnt make it (a bad transmission) that has nothing to do with how reliable a transmission is. There was a bunch of other comments but i wont get into it too much. The 2.3 ecoboost is a very peppy motor and a ton of fun to drive. Again just seems like a very biased review.

@@justinhuddleston4625 I’m not sure what your point is that “he’s in a base”? If by base you mean the 2.3T engine, that’s the point. The Explorer 2.3T has more HP and significantly more torque than the VQ. 300 HP and 310 TQ vs the Nissans 284 HP and 259 TQ. They both are very similar in weight, with the lowest trim Explorer weighing in roughly 100lbs lighter than the Pathfinder. On paper the Explorer should beat the Pathfinder with a notable advantage in performance. However, as you can see, the weaker, heavier Pathfinder excels. In reality engine enthusiasts know that Nissan underrated the VQ which is why we see such a strong performer.

I have a 2022 ram 4x4 but the fuel economy with the path finder I drive it most of the day. Keeps miles off my ram and is nimble enough to park on tight streets. I found I like it so much I want to buy a 4x4 version,the front wheel drive takes getting used to. My Ram has the 4 auto mode and comes in handy with heavy rain. I like the Rock Creek but my Ram has great ground clearance and all the off road accessories.thinking about a S or SV 4x4 actually the S has a lot of teck, and can avoid a crash. I like the way Nissan at the starting module still gives you everything you need.

Pathfinder!!!! Wooo. Both SUV's were on my shortlist. The Explorer ST had my heart the but the Pathfinder appealed to my brain and my budget. Happy with the choice! *edit* after watching - I maintain the 3.5 VQ with only 284 HP output is underpowered for the size of the vehicle.

The VQ is tuned to 284 HP in this model. The same VQ has 300 HP in the Maxima. Nissan detuned the VQ quite drastically for their suvs. There’s several VQ folks in blogs that I follow that have tuned it to over 500 HP on stock intervals. The VQ is widely known as being underrated.

@@janbeltre1244 Yes I have. Its clunky, and holds gears to long in "sport mode". There is wind noise, likely from the sunroof, even when shut tight. However its still great, fast, and looks great to my eye. Although I live in a neighborhood where you'll see Porsche, Ranger Rover. BMW, Audi SUVs, random strangers compliment its appearance all the time.

Side note aswell...i dont understand how you feel the 2.3 doesnt feel strong enough for that suv considering its about a second faster 0 to 60...feels faster across the entire rev range...and makes quite a bit more hp and torque then the pathfinder

In the sport mode run the Nissan Pathfinder started way before the Explorer. This is why you can’t rely on performance data from amateurs. If your reaction time sucks, you’re going to lose even with more power

I have a 2019 pathfinder for work,and a 2022 Ram back country edition with performance exhaust and a all wheel drive option. When i bought the pathfinder I got a great deal. I was thinking gonna be slow, but for work. Its not slow especially from 20 mph on past 60 so passing is fine. It could not out preform my Ram because I chose the quad cab for weight. I can recommend a used pathfinder mine is a 2019 with 50,000 miles and it is perfect for cargo confort and parking. Matter of fact had a nut pull out crossing two lanes in traffic. All i could see was the back of another suv i was about to hit. Bufore I hit breaks the pathfinder hit breaks turned wheel to right and avoided a crash. I love my pickup but you have to like a lot any vehicle that keeps you out of a broadside collision.

You should try racing them!! I have a 2019 Pathfinder and a 2020 Ram limited. One day me and the friend were coming back from picking up my pathfinder from maintenance. I was driving my ram and he was driving my pathfinder and we decided to race them just for fun. From a Stop my ram would beat the pathfinder 3 times but from a roll I was surprised my god dam pathfinder beat my ram 4 times😂 not gonna lie kind of hurt to see my V8 getting beat by 6 Cylinder 😂 but then again the Ram is a lot heavier and less aerodynamic

In general, yet another negative comparison for an American vehicle even when it is one of the best selling of its class for years or decades since inception. Even in comparison categories where it is winning, the use of expressions like not by that far or not by that much… and when it is beating competition in price, you are getting what you are paying for (that’s for the other vehicles).
