@@nittojoe136 I agree. I warned my ex wife not to buy her 2018 Pathfinder because of that CVT. I wasn't surprised when she started having problems already after 4 years. I'm glad they're doing away with that now. About time
You can literally hear how much louder the interior noise is in the Highlander compared to the Pathfinder. Nissan is finding their way back and I hope that they can really make a massive comeback. This new Pathfinder looks awesome. Great review.
After also considering the Telluride X-pro, I recently purchased the Pathfinder for $9000 less than what the Telluride would have cost. The Nissan dealer even slightly discounted the price. I really like the responsiveness of the 3.5 engine/ 9-speed transmission. Yes, it's an off-road poser, but I drive on dirt roads everyday and the Rock Creek handles this terrain well. The right front and 360 cameras are indispensable. Also, since I live in the desert, a sunroof option would have been a deal-breaker. It's totally unnecessary here, and fortunately the Rock Creek doesn't have one.
I recently bought the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder platinum trim and I absolutely love it. If you're looking into buying one, go ahead and buy it, I am happy with mine, no regrets, you'll love yours too.
I checked out the Highlander by myself and it’s easily noticeable how cheap materials Toyota used to make this vehicle. In addition, the front door are thin and sounds bad while closing. Disappointed on the quality.
Awesome vid as always I was wondering if a race between a Camry 2.5 vs accord 1.5 vs k5 gt line vs Altima 2.5 would look like it might be boring but interesting nonetheless 👋
I ve 2018 pathfinder cvt runs well defiinetly this new punchy v6 pathfinder with no cvt would be my pick. The ride is more softer and more gentle than a highlander.
IMO the highlander looks like a van, it doesn't have the boxier style of a suv. The pathfinder is more comparable to the new pilot. Great review Sam ✌️
I wish reviews would cover resale value after 3 and 5 years along with reliability rating/cost of ownership. Anyone who buys the Nissan will be quite disappointed if they dont keep the vehicle more then 10 years. Resale value can be many thousands of dollars less with a Nissan and that should be seriously considered by anyone not leasing.
You can’t do that with the current model. That would be totally unfair to the brands. You can only do a used car review, cost of ownership, and value. Like some Toyota models hold value, some are a total drain of cash.
i watched other vlog regarding grand highlander. they tried to pass by a mild rough road but it wasnt able to pass, the rear tire doesnt rotate, i was so dismayed
@@GODiscomingsoonagain It’s a hit or miss We had a Nissan Juke and that car was trouble free until we got rid of it at 238k miles. Loved that car, it was a extremely quick small suv.
Zf transmission in the pathfinder is super jerky after 30k miles during cold starts. Something they haven’t been able to address even after TCM updates.
@@bogart5131 EPA is looking at emissions data for that, not fuel efficiency. It gets the same MPG, but it produces much less CO2 and other tailpipe emissions.
I just can't get over the look of highlander. Looks slightly better, but they just look like a boring vehicle. Most highlanders in my area are ubers, lyfts and cabs.
Looking at same 2017 mid level trims and km’s on trader shows the Highlander priced 10k more. That is the bank of Toyota that Nissan simply can’t compete with.
Nissan Pathfinder V3.5 when new Toyota Highlander engine 2.4Turbo with 4 cylinders since 2023 is not comparable different engine and horsepower as well
Boss man u ah nissan man... nissan could never better than Toyota no day no how...you always chooses nissan in all your drag and roll races even when you are loosing
Nissan could give me that vehicle and I’d still go to Toyota and buy the highlander. Not to mention, the highlander looks so much better than that pathfinder.
Wasn't it always Pathfinder vs 4Runner? Nissan seems to be dying a slow painful death. The Titan is on its last lifeline, the new Z and the new GTR is a sad attempt, What happened to Nissan?
Pathfinder is now “ car “ based. When it went that route in 2013 sales increased dramatically. Explorer, Durango, Blazer, all once truck based SUV’s ride on car like unibody’s now. The 4Runner is basically in a class of its own these days.
@@SamCarLegion i promise it is not 4wd. Switch screens on the dash and it will show you where it is putting power. They just call it 4wd in the Pathfinder and awd in the Infinity qx60 we own both and they are the new ones.
A Small remark, this one is on x-ice snow winter tires.
Yes
Nissan is really stepping it up. I've heard they're bringing back the Xterra. Updating the titan and the GTR. Not bad Nissan
Time for them to get rid of the CVT. That's a majority of what made their cars SO ridiculously horrible

I’d take the Pathfinder, no doubt!

The Pathfinder is the only Nissan I'd spend my money on.
Now with 9 speed even better no cvt
The Phafinder has a nice look.
Toyota fanboys gonna be mad. Btw I own a Toyota but these fanboys can't accept when another vehicle is just better.
I love Toyota but you’re 💯… love this pathfinder
@@latino914 I’m an owner of a 2021 Toyota rav4 and now also own a 2023 Nissan Pathfinder SL Premium.. love it. No CVT and drives like butter 👌

I agree with you sam.. the nissan pathfinder is better and New all. nice with a mercedes 9 speed trans
It's actually a ZF 9 speed, not the same as the Merc.
Another Great detail review Sam but, I would of love to see 2023 Honda Pilot Trailsport VS Nissan and XSE VS pilot Touring.
Toyota dumped the v6 cause of emissions restrictions, so happy I got my wife one of the last v6’s
me toosxe v6 296h sport suv so confortable
And FYI, quad means 4 my brother. The highlander has dual tips. Not criticizing, just helping. Great video, I enjoyed the review.
Thanks for the info
@@SamCarLegion anytime👍
Pathfinder Rockcreek edition looks more tufter then a Highlander , I love the Pathfinder 👍
Easy choice, Pathfinder all day.
I checked out the Highlander by myself and it’s easily noticeable how cheap materials Toyota used to make this vehicle. In addition, the front door are thin and sounds bad while closing. Disappointed on the quality.
Outstanding review Sam, but at 05:41 quad always means 4, I think you meant to say dual.
Yes dual.

Pathfinder all day long
Just me or is the camera man short felt like I was crawling around looking at both suvs
i watched other vlog regarding grand highlander. they tried to pass by a mild rough road but it wasnt able to pass, the rear tire doesnt rotate, i was so dismayed
Our 2018 rogue CVT went out 3 times.
Never buying another Nissan.
Seems like some people are lucky i have a 2011 but still going strong on same transmision
@@GODiscomingsoonagain It’s a hit or miss

I think the rock creek has a different transmission. Its not cvt .
Nissan for me please.
How about the Honda Pilot 2023? It should be in this video.
Unfortunately it’s not available
Zf transmission in the pathfinder is super jerky after 30k miles during cold starts. Something they haven’t been able to address even after TCM updates.
Sam are you gonna make daily car races?😢
In snow?
19:52 daamn 😍
Toyota!
Highlander, the soccer mom suv. 😊
Toyota dropped the V6, only due to US EPA emissions requirements. If it wasn't for federal requirements, it would still have the V6
dnt understand cause mpg is still almost the same vs with 3.5 liter...... the only thing if turbo is higher torque but mpg?, the same

Trd Sequoia vs pathfinder 👀
Kindly compare the pathfinder rock creek to the grand highlander, its a better match
Highlander all the way
yes
I just can't get over the look of highlander. Looks slightly better, but they just look like a boring vehicle. Most highlanders in my area are ubers, lyfts and cabs.
The front end isn’t my favourite but rear end I love it

It's not fair with pathfinder---- you are comparing the wrong trim. you should compare it with Pathfinder SL - Prem.
Highlander all day!!
The interior is what makes the pathfinder interesting the outside looks so outdated which lead me to get the highlander better looking
Sam car legion do a drag race with both of them
Makes no sense lol
Nissan ❤
Nissan Pathfinder V3.5 when new Toyota Highlander engine 2.4Turbo with 4 cylinders since 2023 is not comparable different engine and horsepower as well
Me I take highlander any time
This Pathfinder also has a clutch-based AWD system and it actually is worse than Toyota's.
Race him pls ❤
SUV races!
Funny... the "Off road" Pathfinder Rock Creek has LESS Ground Clearance than the Highlander XSE (which is not posing to be an off-road vehicle...
Had to STOP Watching at 9 min. The information was not informative nor comparable. 1 Product has been out a few years and the other is New.
Boss man u ah nissan man... nissan could never better than Toyota no day no how...you always chooses nissan in all your drag and roll races even when you are loosing
Yeah sure 😒
Finally someone with a brain
Shqipre try to get a alfa vs q50 race stock for stock
Rock creeks seems pricy for the features. Not a big fan of either front style
Nissan could give me that vehicle and I’d still go to Toyota and buy the highlander. Not to mention, the highlander looks so much better than that pathfinder.
Yee
Nissan is the Chrysler of Japan!!!
I’m glad my highlander looks better than the new pathfinder
Interesting
Hey, shhh, this is supposed to be a Nissan ad!
The TOYOTA will win over Nissan , it will last longer .
Yes because most will take their car to the grave
Wasn't it always Pathfinder vs 4Runner? Nissan seems to be dying a slow painful death.

@@SamCarLegion google is the rock creek 4wd
@@olmixer I did, website and most articles say that. Don’t think that the brand would lie.
Nissan has been always a follower and never a leader.
Nissan’s exterior design looks incomplete thought. Yuk
hahahah - how did you come up with that lol
The Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek trim desperately needs a sunroof/panoramic sunroof. Not option for that price point is a bust!
Safety issue because of the weight limit
@@SamCarLegion Well, that's not the trim I will go for. Still could've made it an option. Just add the roof rails from other trims of the Pathfinder.
I would never buy any Nissan, they are crap.😝
Toyota Wins. Nissan is still old
fanboy
Do you really want to compare a Toyota with a Nissan car that are more bad and devalued in a short time? away super bad transmission are crazy
Where are you pulling out that info? 😂
Super bad transmission? Wth are you talking about?
