    The way that Nissan works is that they make a car that is fantastic, class leading, innovative, and exciting and then they sell it for 15 years until it’s none of those things.

    Just for the 6000 lb towing capacity alone, the pathfinder is worth a look. If you go by the common recommendation to not exceed 80% of max tow rating, you can tow 4800 lbs, that's enough for a 21-22 ft boat, trailer, fuel, and gear. Virtually every other non-FCA brand competitor has a 5000 lbs max tow (4000 lbs at 80%). That's an 18-19 ft boat/trailer/fuel/gear for reference. A couple feet in the world of boats and travel trailers is a huge difference.

    If Nissan wants to continue their revival, the Xterra needs to come back yesterday. The Frontier is already out so it should be a no-brainer since they'll share both the look and platform. I've been saying they need a dedicated Warrior trim since the fantastic Titan Warrior that was shown. Those would have sold like hotcakes if they had taken that initiative especially considering the Rebel hadn't even been introduced then. A Frontier and X-terra Warrior wouldn't be bad as well to go against the Raptors.

    • @daniellee100
      @daniellee100 2 роки тому +9

      Nissans biggest mistake is not making a gen 3 Xterra. Would also sell like hotcakes if they did it right. My 2nd gen xterra is titan swapped, both suspension and i put the v8 in it. Absolutely blows 4runners out of the water. But I had to do that stuff myself because Nissan is too dumb to realize the potential.

      Actually 3rd gen Xterra exists. Just that you guys in US don't get it. 😂
      It's called Nissan Terra, made in Thailand and sold here in middle east. It's pretty much a Nissan Navara chassis/frame with SUV body.
      Edit: And my guess the reason they don't sell it in US is because it has no V6 or V8, only 2.5L 4 cyl (which is fine imo, its powerful enough).

    • @Bartonovich52
      @Bartonovich52 2 роки тому +4

      A couple of enthusiasts want an Xterra.. so of course Nissan should make them.
      You going to take your brand new XTerra and start ripping it apart to mod it and then immediately take it mudding and rock crawling and river fording? Not a chance!
      You need Karen to buy one and take it back and forth from the mall and soccer practice for ten years before you buy it.. just like you did with her FJ Cruiser she had when she was a single professional and her Geo Tracker her parents bought her in high school.
      Now that she’s married with kids, she needs a 7 seat unibody AWD vehicle that isn’t a minivan. That’s what the Pathfinder is. And if she only needs 5 seats, the Rogue. And if she’s still on her own, the Qashqai.
      There’s always the Ford Bronco and Jeep Wranger. My guess is the Bronco will be discontinued inside of 5 years due to lack of sales.

    Although I love the styling of the Murano (I feel like it kicked off the mainstream crossover styling), I think it's time to cut it from the lineup and swap in a new Xterra that would slot in nicely between the Rogue and Pathfinder to compete in the off-road/overlander space.

    • @slowspecv69
      @slowspecv69 2 роки тому +4

      I think there is a place for the murano, but it needs to be spiced up a little bit, maybe the 290hp or the 306hp 3.5 v6 instead of the 260hp. Put a torque converter auto into it, slightly bigger brakes, adaptive suspension that can handle pretty decently for a crossover but still be reasonably comfortable. So basically a properly sporty crossover without having the price of an x3m or gle43. I agree the xterra needs to be brought back, and of course Nissan pulled the plug on it literally a year before suvs started selling record numbers lol.

    I was having the hardest time finding pictures of that thing. If it was sold under a different name in the USA, that explains why. SUVs were still rare in Germany and Europe in general back then and I doubt that they sold many under that differing name in that much smaller market.

      That is the name under which my parents bought it. That was what stood in the car's papers. That is what the badge on the back said and that is what was printed on the cover for the spare tire.
      I myself drove the thing. My parents still had it when I turned 18 and got my own driver's license and I had to lift their huge dog up on the tailgate to take it for walks.
      So this is no nebulous, dim early childhood memory that I could confuse.
      Also, when learned the American name and was finally able to google pictures for it more successfully, even with using the "Pathfinder" search term, I still found a bunch of pictures that are named Terrano. So if I'm imagining things, I'm not the only one with that particular delusion, lol.

    Man the new Nissan designs are incredible looking. Finally I find these cars desirable for once.

    I'm surprised Doug didn't point out the 3 spaces above the front grille, little throwback quirk.

    Doug is a professional back seat passenger getting in and outer, and makes getting in look easier than actually is!!!! The rest of us would look like very challenged trying to get in, more like a squatting pooch. They should have door pillar stickers that look like Doug showing how to enter the rear seats

    Just purchased a 2022 Pathfinder SV. Coming from a 2014 ford focus. WOW amazing vehicle. Trans is smooth as butter.

    👱"So should we just use the standard 42 pt font for the rear Pathfinder emblem?"
    👨"Absolutely not, let's go with the 200 pt font. I want people to be able to read it from a block away."

    The Pathfinder was absolutely awesome when it came out in the late 80s. The new models (last 15 years) look just like everything else similar in its class

    I had been waiting for this one for awhile now, I've been anxiously waiting for my dealer to get one in inventory, dark green with the black top in platinum 4wd trim.

      I’m obsessed with wanting it in white with the black roof, I didn’t even look at the other colors lol
