I got the 2023 SL and I’m loving it. I switched over from Honda Pilot. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@ClassicFIHD]

I have the 2023 SL too with the premium package. At 900 miles I did have a massive total electronics and dash failure. After about 30 restarts if got it working and I drove home over 2 hours with just the check engine light on. Just before I got home the light went out. Took it to the dealer and they found nothing. Guess it took care of itself. I just hit 6,000 miles with no more problems. I have towed a 5,800-pound travel trailer with no problems. Got 12.5 mpg. I do love most everything about it.

[@jerryfacts9749]

I bought the 2022 Pathfinder Platinum 4WD fully equipped. I investigated others in high end SUVs. My preference is for the Pathfinder for many reasons. I like how the computer system works, and how it performs. I have had other SUVs over the decades. This Pathfinder is the best SUV I've owned and driven. It has been very reliable with zero faults from the day I took out from the dealer. I took it with the pearl white and black roof line. The interior is the chestnut colour. In the winter months I am using deep threaded mud/snow off road type tires on 18 inch rims mounted on their own alloy wheels.

[@latgmorgan]

Glad yo hear you like it. That is the color combo I am looking at...or the gun metal gray with black roof line. I like the chestnut interior...looks high end. Not sure my husband wants to get top trim level, but it doesn't seem like too much difference to me than SL with various packages added on. I want ventilated seats.

Nissan did a great job on the new Nissan Pathfinder. They got rid of the Cvt transmission. I been doing my research and I considered different options on suv’s with a 3rd row and the Pathfinder came up on top of my needs. I am getting one by the end of the month.

[@JokerG16]

[@jerryfacts9749]

The Pathfinder automatic transmission performs very well. The vehicle is quieter than one with a CVT. The Pathfinder drives like a big car, and is very comfortable.

Awesome, thats why I didn't buy the 2021. Very spacious, the new looks even better

[@sandmansimms5704]

alexis I went and looked at a limited 4runner today with 3rd row but it sucks for trying to fit an adult back there smh. So Looking at some other smaller suv's they are designed with more headroom like this nissan and the jeep , durango too. I think with Jeep it might be too many problems down the road even with a new one and how pricey needingto do things at the dealer with things being hard to get to on your own to fix. The durango is doable also so it might be between the durango v8 and the nissan with reliablity being at the top of the list but I also like the stereo system that the durango offers in some as the 19 spkr with sub and amp harmon kardon system

[@tman2damax]

I know nissan nailed this design because every time I see one I do a double take thinking it's a land rover discovery at first

Me I prefer the 2011 styling of the pathfinder they should of gone with a more sqaure look like the new bronco or jeeps.

[@tman2damax]

@@Firebacon1gg The current design is much more squared off than the last gen, but looks like they're going back to a more elegant design for the next generation that's supposed to debut in 2025. Also the 2011 generation was body-on-frame like the current bronco and wrangler still are, so that's why it was much more boxy, and the smoother shapes definitely help with fuel efficiency and wind noise.

The HUD does so much more then just the speed. if you turn on cruise control and navigation it will show you lane assist and directions along with what the current posted speed.

They’re selling well, I see some on the road, but not as well as expected, the lots are overloaded with them. The competition is very tough in this class. The Kia Telluride for one and the Mazda CX-9. In this economic climate today consumers are focusing more on practicality, durability, build quality, warranty value, resale value, reputation, fuel, style. Nissan needs to do a bit better with interior build quality and structural rigidity. Until then the Pathfinder feels like a Ford Explorer.🤔🤷🏼🙄

[@americanrambler4972]

Overall, the exterior is a pleasant if not exciting design. Unlike your preferences, I am not a fan of totally blacking out everything. A bit of brightwork tastefully done is a good thing to provide individuality and distinction, otherwise your just sitting in a moving storage box. The flush bumpers are just wrong. One, they give no flair to the styling and two, they provide no protection to the very pricy and expensive bodywork along with the really expensive sensor kit and safety tech behind them. They need to protrude a bit more so they can actually take more than just a bug impact bump without including all the rest of the front or rear bodywork in the same minor impact. A gap and a bit of distance does matter here. Overall, I like the interior quite a bit. It looks good and like a present place to be.

[@dl3194]

I love the chrome look on the Platinum. Actually it needs more chrome under the doors and more on both bumpers and I did pay extra to add the chrome look on the fog lights. The black out trim dulls cars and makes them look less expensive and plain. Love where the Chrome Pathfinder name is high up on the trunk door. Hate they only have black running boards, prefer chrome. Love my Platinum Pathfinder, Red with Black roof. Hate that their is no CD player, what... and hate that that the engine cuts off at every stop, very scary...I kill that button as soon as I hit Drive😊Otherwise my 2024 2 tone red and black Platinum Pathfinder is beautiful and it drives great!

[@Justsomedude64]

New vehicle sales are at more than a decade low plus interest rates have been rising. Also, this is a relatively new design so there probably isn’t a big used car availability for these yet. Some industries are experiencing layoffs too (intentionally spurred on by fed moves as an inflation fighting tool), so just bad timing in general is effecting sales. The vehicle itself is a pretty nice package though, I think it looks good. I hate that plastic fender cladding though, it should be body colored (at least as an option).

[@Firebacon1gg]

It does not look good to me I prefer the looks of the 2011 version they could gone with a more sqaure suv with modern looks like the bronco. That's my opinion we all have our likes.

[@bogart5131]

If only they could make the fender design like that of 4runner and make it has wider distance from the tire to the mudguard, by then you may be able to change the tire to a bigger size and lift it higher.... the fender design is my least favorite in this car.... 9/ 10 as per my observation in youtube

This started about 2010 give or take a few years. Before this, dealers were owned primarily by local, independent owners, not massive corporations. The local, independent owners took pride in their business and ordered what sold locally. This was a wide variety of colors and interiors.

[@preoksaha4504]

It’s the pricing, you can get a highlander for a lower price and you know it’s gonna be more reliable and have better re sale value 🙃

[@marksmith3850]

I looked at the Highlander vs. the Pathfinder, and the Turbo 4cyl they went to did not impress me at all.

You should redesign it as a...Sedan! TSM (TheSedanMafia) strikes again!

The price is too high for a Nissan. Nissan has been struggling with their vehicles. I know the primary issues have been with their sedans and the CVT transmissions. At this price point, might as well buy an Infinity QX60.

Rear bumper is in line with the tail gate..if you hit the bumper the tail gate wil be damaged..not a smart design....wait for redesign Toyota 4Runner

[@D0NTsmokeCRACK]

Because the segment is packed and Nissan hasn’t done enough to stand out nor enough to undercut the competition in price

[@timj.8056]

Stiff competition for Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander and the VW Atlas . . . Nice SUV with new body style excellent 9 speed 2nd gen. transmission upgrade (no cvt) and new V6 engine 284hp. . .

Simple Small screen for the money at 50k. People can get bigger, more features, or high quality in suvs like the telluride/palisade, pilot, grand highlander, cx90 for 50k. Things can get better for Nissan if it's willing to discount them.

[@nordlandak6853]

It’s too much money. Plus re sale value on Nissan not to good…

[@justincrain9772]

I own a 2007 pathfinder and I love it! Nobody likes these crossovers. Not as rugged or tough like they use to be. Nissan needs to bring the pathfinder back to it's roots. 🤷‍♂️

Nissan used to make some of the most beautiful cars in the early 90s such as the Nissan 180SX, 240SX, Nissan Z32 ZX, Silvia S15, R32 Skyline, R33 Skyline, R34 Skyline and the R35 Skyline... But then, they hired a bunch of idiot designers and they came up with the Nissan Juke, Nissan 370Z, Sylphy, Almera and the worst of all them all the hideous Teana and the V Series the V35, V36 and V37... I knew Nissan was doomed when I saw the Juke, the Teana and the V Series...What the hell were you thinking Nissan??? The 2022 Nissan Z is nice, but it is too little, too late...you can't save Nissan anymore...

[@ahmed91750]

Because it’s not designed to compete against the toyota 4runner

[@Firebacon1gg]

Yup the 2011 though seems to be good competition for offroading.

[@Lucas-xn6ff]

On my opinion it should be a lot cheaper than the Highlander and it isn't at least here on Nova Scotia, Canada it's more expensive than the Highlander, comparing the starter trim at least. If would put money on one of them, I wouldn't think twice on going with the Toyota Highlander

[@theowinosowino5814]

Because it’s exactly the same as 2022.

[@herbiehusker1889]

I think it is because it is expensive and Nissan quality is crap.

[@bim1376]

Easy. Nissan’s used to be marked down 25-30% of their MSRP at their sales peak. At or over MSRP, the equivalent Honda or Toyota is a much better proposition

[@ramontorres2948]

When I was shopping around a similarly equipped Toyota Highlander was more expensive. The 2022 Honda pilot was still more expensive then the sl awd I purchased. So, Nissan was a better purchase price wise.

Pathfinder used to be a cool off roader…… now it’s a soccer mom suv…
