Nissan Pathfinder: An Excellent Off-Road Capability


The Nissan Pathfinder 2007, a big and brawny sport utility built on the superb ladder frame from the big Nissan Titan pickup and offers excellent off-road capability.
Nissan Pathfinder 2007, a carryover from 2006, comes in four trim levels, each of which can be ordered with two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, with no mistaking the Pathfinder for anything but a tough-as-trail-gravel truck, fully off-road cable SUV. Its construction is best suited for heavy-duty towing, serious load-hauling, and ambitious bashing about in the backwoods.
Pathfinder’s styling shares visual cues with the Armada and Titan, as well as the Frontier pickup. The roof line, mimicking the Armada’s, bows slightly over the forward passenger compartment then flattens aft of the C-pillar.
Power from the 4.0-liter V6, while not in the stump-pulling class, is more than adequate. The Pathfinder’s power builds smoothly, pulling solidly to the upshift limiter, which is programmed to step in at 6200 revolutions per minute. The engine moved this truck’s nearly two-and-one-half tons at significantly extra-legal speeds with the same aplomb as we noted while slogging through muddy ruts. A welcome side benefit is the healthy exhaust note accompanying the engine’s ups and downs.
Dash panels are uniformly textured, flowing smoothly out from the base of the windshield around and down on each side of the center stack to the knee bolsters filling the space between the stack and doors. The center console is finished with a bright metallic look.
