Bought a brand new 2013 Nissan pathfinder got it up to 250,000 miles with 0 issues never gave me any problems, I then upgraded to a 2018 Nissan pathfinder and would use it to drive from California to New York and back a lot for work and I got that one up to 420,000 miles also with 0 issues. So naturally I am about to upgrade to a 2024 pathfinder because it has more then proven its reliability to me and I love how comfortable it is for me and the family. As long as you keep up with maintenance the pathfinder is a solid SUV
Oh wow you have had some great experiences
but times do change and the 2024 will not be as good as your older ones.
Please somebody explain about the mileage. I'm intending to buy a brand new 2024 Nissan Pathfinder
Did you put all those miles on the original CVT transmission for the 2013 and 2018 Pathfinders?
Also we're there any engine oil leaks or transmission leaks?
@@Paul-dv8zf yes I put all those miles on the original CVT’s and nope no leaks just traded in the 2018 last week and it had 480,000 miles and did not have any issues I just wanted to upgrade to a new 2024. The CVT isn’t as bad as people say. They were really bad when they first released but newer CVT’s are very reliable
I bought a 2023 pathfinder last March and I'm so happy for my choice. I was formerly Honda owner, but after a lot research I decided to give a chance to Nissan. Guess what? They impressed me so much not only the car but with their post service. They really pay attention to their customers. Amazing experience so far!
Awesome
This Pathfinder has it all. Good looks, sturdy and proven engine, nice interior materials, great looking camera, decent amount of interior ambient lighting, good driving assist system, good third row space, less expensive than Kia, Hyundai and Toyota. Also, they look way better in person than on a screen.
Too bad even a well equipped Nissan pathfinder has to be $50k now though
@@Charles-mp2vl so you’re complaining about the price but you’re looking at the top trim of a three row SUV fully loaded? Very confusing…
Agree this vehicle has a really good appearance in person.. the video can't capture it.. check out one in person and it looks so much better 😊
@@artieartya top of the line model the only way to go.
@@gosman949 I think you completely missed the point…
I bought a Pathfinder in March in that same color, looked at the Honda Pilot and decided on the Nissan and couldn't be happier it's a great ride.
Nissan kinda went out of business but is now 50/50 partners with CCP as told in Wikipedia. Nissan is now a official police vehicles for China. Wiki it
Yes! I love mine! I have the SL in silver with the blackout rims, 20 inch. I love the way it hugs a curve!
@@NalaAmari You couldn't buy a Pathfinder right now it's a rare truck maybe if you're working for the CCP you can get one in China
@@shoutingatclouds1050 Sir it’s not that rare. I’ve seen a few on the road in my city, including the one I see everyday in my garage. My dealership had 4 on the lot when I purchased mine. Please stop it. No one has to lie about that.
We did the same. We love our 2022 Pathfinder Platinum fwd. I would take Pathfinder over pilot or Highlander Any day.
My dad in the early 90s drove up with a red Nissan Pathfinder and I’ll never forget how amazing it looked. Now at 40 years old I’m taking after him and driving similar Nissan rogue Platinum… I gotta get my hands on a pathfinder and do a review / test drive as well
I just hate it when you get a call that you have 3 kids you didn't even know about! 🤣
Great content on this vehicle! After reading these comments on the reliability of the brand and owning a 2015 GMC Acadia that I had to replace a transmission and AC at around 72,000 miles, this Nissan Pathfinder will be my next! My son drives a 2014 Sentra with zero issues outside of normal maintenance.
From Exterior to interior…beautiful… looks better than the other brand SUV’s
I love your videos. Your comments and inputs on things and history are my favorite. We must be the same age too lol. Like when you talked about the nes in 1985. I always relate to these things. I just love all the details and background, and humor you also bring in to your videos. Your content is by far my favorite now.
Great job Joe! Got a '23 SL in March and love it! So comfortable for long trips and has the space for people and stuff. Great ride for four adults and 4 golf bags to go on golf outings. The blind side audio help is wonderful. I really miss it when I drive our other vehicle that doesn't have it.Have nothing to zonk my Pathfinder on.
The only reason i choose this mans videos over anyone elses car reviews is because I need to see how many subs, burritos, twinkies, cans of pringles and whatever other food items the vehicle can fit.
Yup. His Hot Pockets, Snickers and Devil Dogs capacity estimates are supremely accurate.
Me too
I bought the 2023 pathfinder and loving it so far. And I get plenty of compliments as well 😎
Love this new pathfinder, way better than all competition and less expensive as well
We bought a '22 Pathfinder 2 years ago when the new redesign came out. 2 years later still love it.
Thanks for going through it. I lost 3 of my kids it’s good to know I didn’t leave them in the pathfinder. Great video
I have to agree with you about the fender flair being painted.
This new Pathfinder design is top notch!
I agree with you!
My Dad had a Nissan pathfinder. Brings back memories
That is so very cool Jesse!
It is always pleasant to learn something new about Steven. Glad everything is okay with his men’s health and he didn’t lose any😅.
“I know you’ve been told that since you were a teenager”. LOL.
Thanks for letting me share some laughs with you!
I have a 2024 awd platinum and it drives awesome!
Plenty of power and torque. I feel like I get from 0 to 60 in seconds. It's definitely the best looking SUV in my bias opinion.
My only complaints are the seat doesn't get high enough and I'm 6ft. I would like the seat height to be a bit higher.
Lastly, Nissan MUST update the infotainment center. The radio Looks like a old school "etch n sketch". Other than that, the vehicle is great and drives very well.
Joe and his fast/junk food references... always gets me. 😆
Thanks for letting me share the laughs and the SUVs with you!
I'm pretty sure that rear compartment will hold at least 20 (or maybe 21) boxes of Twinkies, with even some space left over for a few Devil Dogs.😆
Much nicer than I was expecting. I paid more attention to the video itself and Steven does a very good job. I hope he didn't sweat them all the way off.
I’ve got the new 24 pathfinder platinum. I absolutely love that.
That is so fantastic to hear!
We just bought a 2023 Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek Edition last year thanks to Raiti's Ride when he reviewed in the Car show. I just saw the body style and 9 speed tranny I was sold. Bought it last Nov. Same color in the car show Boulder Grey now with a 8200 miles on it no complain. Love it. 💗
Another good looking SUV ❤
I agree with you!
Joe you are without a doubt the most entertaining auto reviewer on YT. Your review of the Genesis G70 3.3T was instrumental in me purchasing one back in June 2019. And overall its been up there in my favorite vehicles that I've ever owned. Now I am looking for an SUV and the Pathfinder is definitely near the top of my list. I am partial to the Rock Creek edition for the added HP and torque but unfortunately the colors are very limited. I love the Pearl White with the black top look. If I do go with the Pathfinder it will be my 1st Nissan purchase ever. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the video Joe!!! It looked very hot out there or someone dumped a bucket of water on you!! Lol
Love the new Pathfinder and so glad they get rid for the CVT to a 9 Speed Automatic Transmission 😍😍😍
Tell me about it! That is one of the best changes Jeremy!
@@Brian_Eugene_Lee Current Nissan’s cvts are actually good.
After trial and error they finally were able to come up with a good product.
@@Brian_Eugene_Lee did Jatco hurt your feelings or something? Lol
But yeah, they got quite better now.
@@Brian_Eugene_Lee yeah, Eugene… whatever. You keep your very outdated opinions. Whatever lets you sleep better at night. LOL
Interior is really beautiful looking a lot better than Highlander
I got the 2022 and have it for almost a year. Bought it instead of the Palisade or Telluride and glad I went with it. So far its been great, and the V6 did it for me. Dont want a CVT.
I have 2023 excellent choice for me great suv love it I especially like the short turning radius over all the best suv i think.
It's always fun to watch your videos Joe , thanks for you and Steven
Pathfinder really great but not having good price
Great looking vehicle better looking than the previous generation and thank goodness no CVT!
I still plan to buy a pathfinder. It’s just a question of when. Im hoping Nissan puts the red, black, and blue on the rock creek edition. If they do my money is going to them.
Beautiful SUV styling and 3.5L V6 with 9 speed 2nd gen. transmission! (No CVT Anymore). Interior is spacious and comfortable with quality leather seats and trim. Beats the competition!

- And More
I have a '23 Rock Creek and was curious about any noticeable changes for the '24 model
Supposedly there are no changes between 23 and 24.
That infotainment center in the 24 traverse will make all the auto makers go back to the drawing board. It’s time to take the pathfinder interior to the future
Love this channel, and especially this very car 🤩❤️
Our family loves our 22 Pathfinder
Thanks for sharing that great ownership experience Chris!
For the record, and not to brag, I have a '16 Maxima since new, with 142K miles on its original CVT; still takes off like a rocket.
There are reports from CVT Pathfinder owners with over 230k miles, no issues, just transmission maintenance .
I have a 2015 Rogue and everyone tells me that the CVT suxs and it’ll break down but 120k miles later, no issues, just maintenance
@reyperez3424 2012 juke here best the living shit out of the car and 12 years later I had to replace an oil pan and cat back. That's it. The nissan reliability shit is so overblown internet bullshit.
I was at a fair today , had a green one like this on display beside a rogue . Me and the wife , have been looking into a mid size for sometime . By year end will most likely be getting into one . Seeing this vehicle in person and this review has me fully sold . V6 , too towing , the seats are amazing (after I sat in driver seat , I’m a big dude , I was sold) just need a test drive .
Will definitely be getting a pathfinder , Green exterior , this trim level , same interior .
Great video as always
I bought mine 2 weeks ago. Silver SL 4 WD, blackout chrome 20 inch wheels. I ADORE mine. It can move and hug a curve like nobody’s business! Your gonna enjoy it!
I am liking this vehicle. I had an Armada in 2004 and absolutely loved it. The power was great.
I just bought a 24’ Pathfinder White over black SL and i feel like it has more features than this platinum for about $3K less. It is an amazing ride.
I just bought mine and I love it!!!
We have the 22 Pathfinder Sl premium and Infiniti qx60 luxe. Both are great suvs. Both can run on 87 octane but premium fuel gives them both better performance. It's not just the Rock creek that will give you more horsepower it the fuel you put in it. I have done 0 to 60 times on both to make sure. Also love all your videos and knowledge.
Thanks for sharing your great ownership input. I really appreciate your support!
I’m in love with Nissans the pathfinder is cool
I am so glad that I could share this one with you!
@@RaitisRides Your so kind!
I like the look of the front. I wish they would have put some led fog lights in the bottom front bumper..looks like they have the space for it
It's an option.
The thomas edison light bulb is a lot cheaper to replace than the whole fixture, so i dont have a problem with it
I own a 2023 Platinum 4WD w/5500 miles I love everything about it but the transmission at low speeds.
We traded a new Ford Explorer in for this. Always been a Ford fan; love the F150. However, fit and quality just weren't there on the Explorer. Missing fasteners, noisy leaky rear door windows, loud engine. The Pathfinder was a massive upgrade in terms of quality feel and quietness. And they were both almost the same exact price.
Super J ~ looks like Datsun made some really tasteful improvements to the Pathfinder, thanks for presenting another 10 star review. t
We had a 90s pathfinder, never an issue, and now we have a rogue platinum and love it, but my wife gets that now, I’m getting the pathfinder rock, pass me another Twinkie please!😊
Hey Joe, love your reviews. It looks a lot nicer and a bit more premium than the Pilot and it has ventilated ;-). Have a great evening.
"I just found out I got 3 other kids I didn't kno about"😂😂😂
I would like to see a review of a Nissan Pathfinder that's for us regular folks, you know, the folks that do not want to spent $55,000 on a vehicle. How about a Pathfinder S. Rate their base model against the Honda Pilot LX or Sport base model. How 'bout that?
I concur, fender should be color matched on the Platinum Trim. It gives more of an exclusive look/touch.
So many people say that. I think on a nice sedan that makes sense but on a truck or SUV I actually like the black rubber/plastic. The color matched ones always seem to show scratches. 🤷🏼♂️
I love my 2022 pathfinder exactly like this in the video!
"i wish it were a little bit larger. I'm sure you've been told that since you were a teenager" LOL
We are big Nissan fans - owning a 2016 Maxima and a 2019 Murano, both are the Platinum edition. As our needs change we now want a third row SUV to replace the aging Maxima. In the past we've taken road trips to find out the Murano just wasn't large enough to accommodate more than two large Pullman bags.
While the new Pathfinder looks great, I was hard pressed to find anything that offerd more value than the Hyundai Palisade Caligraphy edition - Nappa leather with massage on the driver seat, heated & ventilated seats on all three rows. And while the Palisade has a bigger 3.8 V6 engine, the 6,000 lb. towing capacity on the Pathfinder is certainly welcome news.
We haven't even been to the dealers yet to test drive, but your video sure gave me pause when I thought my mind was already made up to switch to a Hyundai. Thanks!
Can't imagine hw freaking cool dis gonna look on mid 9t package.
of course will go with the Nissan Pathfinder 2024. Thank you for the great video ^_^
Someone get this man a snack endorsement. Love his commentary!! I have been a lifelong Honda guy...thinking of looking at this as a viable option.
“i would like to see a little bit larger and i know you’ve been told that eversince you were a teenager” 😂😂😂😂
I am so glad that I can share the laughs with you on this one.
@@RaitisRides Godbless you Joe and Lori, you guys have come a long way. Always looking forward on your next video.
بطني 😂😂😂😂
I love his energy. Best reviewer on here.
Bought a 23 Pathfinder Platinum
Just love it.
Decently powered Great All Arnound SUV.
Highly Recommended
My high school car was a 1989 2 door Pathfinder. It was futuristic back then.
My perfect new Nissan Pathfinder I can buy.
Hey Joe! To answer your question! My brother went Honda Pilot Elite and I went Pathfinder Platinum. Can’t go wrong with either one. Peace out!!!
One thing you forgot to mention is that comfort options can be programmed to specific key. Let's say I aproach the car with my key, steering/seat//stereo setting are adjusted to my choice. If my wife aproaches to the car with her key , then everything is readjusted to her choice.
One thing he didn’t mention…
The headroom on the Pathfinder is far and away better than all the other midsize SUVs. If you are tall it’s not even close.
When is an SUV manufacturer going to being back rear cargo windows that open without opening up the entire cargo door? Would be nice in the garage to load items and unload when there's ltd room
My brother owned two pathfinders one was a lemon and the other had a bunch of electrical problems. The murano ran good though. I cant put this up there with the 2023 pilot as far as reliability . Looks good though and glad to see they didn’t stick an cvt in this one
Thomas Edison rocking in his rocking chair. That was funny!!
Thank you for letting me make you laugh!
Love how he says, On throttle! It make me almost wanna start a TH-cam car review channel called, On Throttle!
8:31 That right there gave me the chills! lol!
Nice suv 😃
I am glad that you like this one.
Just bought a 2024 pathfinder! Can’t wait to take it on the beach!!!!!
How do you like it? I'm looking to buy a SUV and was just trying to check out a few different SUV's
@@andreac.5596one if my neighbors bought one when it first came out, he has 56,000 miles and hasn’t had a problem yet. Its his Vegas family SUV.
I bought the 2022 Pathfinder Platinum. Loving it! 27k miles and no issues at all. Mine came with captains chairs in second row. At the time I think that was standard on Platinum. Also…lift gate goes up and down by sticking your foot right under license plate. Love that! Interesting that the 2024 space at rear has no plug to drain so it can be used as a cooler. Mine has such a plug. Have yet to use it but after buying it and putting some things in that space I noticed plug. Clever! Heads up display and the large glass sunroof are two of my favorite options. Oh, and the 360 degree view. They make life much easier. Genius how Nissan displays the control settings of wipers on center dash. I have always hated trying to see if I had wipers on AUTO or off. It’s the little things sometimes.
Thanks for sharing that great ownership experience!
“The remote that Noah used when he started up the Ark.” 😂😂❤
You know it is true David! LOL
Got a basic 2024 Pathfinder as a rental in Florida right now. I’m from UK and it’s nice to drive a 3.5 V6. This car is very functional and fits my family of 4 in comfort. I agree the screen could be a bit bigger and I would prefer a leather steering wheel rather than plastic.
Mine is not plastic.
Feelings on this vs an Atlas? For a family with littles but still want power 😊 Coming from a Q5!
I work for Volkswagen. Trust me get the Pathfinder. Reliability is WAY better. Your wallet will thank you later. Endless money’s no object.
I think Nissan did a nice job with these Pathfinder and particularly the Rock Creek, looks the part even if it's not a real off-roader.
It’s a real off-road but not a rock crawler like them jeeps or 4Runners
2024 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum 4WD all the way.
Man your references are so funny! Great video.
Forget the car reviews. I'm here to be reminded of all the treats my wife won't let me eat anymore.
Trust me I know how you fee!
I don’t know what rogue is doing that’s why we upgraded to the Pathfinder. It’s so luxury and so good.
Thanks. it was really helpful after I discovered my freshly found 3 new kids
Great to see automatic transmission is returned. How about Rear Wheel Drive again? What are the chances we would see mainly REAR Wheel design with AWD select.
Hey Joe.. Is there a 2025 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum on your schedule ? I've been wading thru all your videos new and old and holding out buying until you review a 2025 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum.
Joe ~ here's to you enjoying a fruitful & relaxing weekend, tell Lori I said Hi - love you guys, Tony
The best pathfinder days were the 90s, until 2003, perfect size. This one at least looks great but Nissan has no panache anymore.
That third row is actually wel thought out..trunk space is pretty good
The food references are sending me😂
We have 2022 model year of this exact pathfinder plus captains chair on 2nd row. We have put 27k miles so far and we have been extremely happy. So glad went with Pathfinder rather than(Pilot or Highlander).i drove 2020 Highlander for a week and I did not like it at all. In Pathfinder, Drive mode between eco, standard and sport varies a lot. Sport mode offers so much torque. Only complaint I have is factory installed tires(BridgeStone)wear out much sooner.
Please highlight the issue with front passenger seat height. There is no option to adjust the height and it’s difficult to see out
I’ve owed Nissan’s for over 15 years and never had a problem until I bought my 23 Pathfinder, the gear box was throwing the car in park and my audio screen keep turning off on it own, unfortunately I traded out of it because for the price I didn’t need the headaches
21:36
HOLY SH°T! 😂
Close call there 😂😮
It is...thank you for another great video Joe :)))
You are so very welcome.
Hate Thomas Edison in his rocking chair🤣. Awesome work as always Joe!
