Thank you for this superb off-roading video. It definitely showcased the impressive capabilities of the new Pathfinder. As the video pointed out, this vehicle seems to be geared more towards an experienced driver with some level of off-road technical driving skills. First and foremost for its intended purpose as a family hauler, the lower ground clearance design makes sense for families with younger kids, grandparents, or pets to get access to the vehicle on a daily basis. The 10% of the time that one chooses to go on off-roading adventures, should still be pretty well equipped with its all-terrain tires and 4-wheel drive capabilities for the most part at least. Enjoyed the video very much, thank you.
@@shanea9613 Well, I'm definitely not an experienced off-roader, but my point was for a Jeep or a 4Runner this terrain would have been a walk in the park and therefore no driver experience would be required? Just point and shoot...No offense, but I'm assuming you are a single early 20-ish male?
@@piyushan_abeynayake no offence taken mate. No I'm 42 years old. I can see the appeal in the vehicle to some, not me. That's fine. This is why they make different cars for different people. I am an experienced "off roader" and I wouldn't buy this for off roading. It has not got enough ground clearance, has inadequate gearing and all the power from the engine is made too high in the rev range. So if you go anywhere off road you would require too much additional fuel. Not faults of the vehicle, and still making it reasonably practical, but just faults if it is taken anywhere off road in my opinion. There are many more capable and competent vehicles in the market for off roading.
For 95% of buyers this is way more than adequate. Even most Jeep owners never leave the pavement. We have a JLU and a Gladiator and never get anywhere near this type of driving.
They definitely could’ve made it slightly taller 🤦🏻♂️

An experienced off road driver with some level of technical experience would avoid this. Good for the mall, not for the trails.

Has it got low range? If not then you know it's not built for the trails.
Better real world tests would be pulling a boat out of a sandy boat ramp or parking a travel trailer in a sandy camping site.
So who is this guy who does the lifts in Utah?
Doesn't look like this will hold up for very many trips.

That’s some cheap rear view mirror on a 45-47k SUV… I like Nissan’s I’ve had 2 Pathfinders an Altima and Infinity J30.
Unibody, no solid axle. So definitely not.
Revive the Xterra instead of these psuedo off-roaders.
Get a Grand Highlander. The investment is worthy it. Pay a little more, but get a peace of mind…
Thats not even out yet.
@@jbone79nobody says going to get it this year. The spy photos are all over the internet, and it is scheduled to debut in 2023.
