If you ever find yourself up a “rock” creek without a paddle, perhaps the best way to navigate your way back to suburbia just might be behind the wheel of this Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek. It’s outfitted for adventure and looks the part too!

Nissan needs to come back with an off road Xterra

@mattperkins9005 Год назад

Indeed they do.

@tariqorozco43 Год назад

I heard they are

@ck2696 Год назад

I liked this one. Glad it's not electric.

@ramoncarter6585 Год назад

Nissan is doing excellent job hope the reliability has got better. The Pathfinder looks amazing one thing the Rock Creek needs bit more for the money but SL and Platinum models are good looking it seems dealers can't keep them in stock.

@scott8238 Год назад

Love that VQ V6 under the hood and the 9 speed auto

@BucksMom218 Год назад

But you don’t pay 44….the dealer is adding on 5k…thanks no thanks 🥴

@vvvvel Год назад

The rule is 2k or no sale!... storm out and make an exit lol

@BucksMom218 Год назад

I just say no thanks and go walk my dog. He’s much better company anyway! 😂 They normally call, but I don’t respond…when this nonsense stops, or my car rots out from under me, then I will get back at it. 😏😋

@Moistnmeaty90 Год назад

Nah. Nissan’s are rapidly regaining inventory. Local dealer is selling them 2000 under MSRP.

@mikeriv60 Год назад

Guess you didn't listen to the review. Nissan said "off road inspired". Now go back to your big 3 garbage vehicles. 😆

@K03sport Год назад

...that could be a challenge. Malls are dying every day and the abandoned parking lots are reminiscent of a deep woods trail. So, at least in this Pathfinder you could travel long distances in comfort and have the ability to navigate the broken pavement of the mall at the end of your journey. You'll be there next to Tellurides, Pallisades, Atlas, XT4/5, Denalis, Explorers, Durangos, Bronco sports, highlanders, 4 runners, MLs, x5, x3, x1, passports, pilots, and Grand Cherokee Ls, plus a whole lot more.....

@Iamnatewayne Год назад

@@mikeriv60 I’m only teasing, I’m sure it will do just fine for the average suburbanite.

@K03sport Год назад

@@Iamnatewayne...sure, me too. We had a 04 R50 PF SE and loved every minute in the 13 years we had it. Chose end of year R50 over the 05 R51 based on body style despite the 05 bumping up to the 4L V6. Now the Mrs likes this gen PF and it is in consideration along with the Atlas (my fav), grand Cherokee, and cx-9.

@allentoyokawa9068 Год назад

Probably T/C since those tires are not meant for drag racing.

@ash27slick74 Год назад

0 to 60 times are so dated and so irrelevant. There's so much more to a car then this extremely simple test.

@K03sport Год назад

So the SL w/SL Premium pkg ($3k) seems better, although you lose the rack that can be added, and you lose the knobby tires, but gain a bunch more for nearly the same price....

@martinbrock4394 Год назад

Thanks for the info on what is going to be a big player in the 3 row comfortable SUV market. Seriously considering this IF they have a hybrid drivetrain in the 2024 version this Fall.

Best looking Pathfinder in 20 years , finally . But can it go in deep sand in the Outer Banks ??

@honda116969 Год назад

Nope, unibody 🤦

@emmcey Год назад

@@honda116969 Ive driven plenty of unibody crossovers in deep sand. Ground clearance will be the determining factor.

@honda116969 Год назад

@@emmcey unibody drive on 🛣️ much better than body-on-frame maybe the new Tacoma will be better with the independent rear suspension... But me personally there's not a unibody that I would feel comfortable going off road even service roads like I do in my Tacoma 4X4 off-road even tho it's totally stock. I'm sure those unibody can do some shit but you can do much more with less struggle if you have something that's more capable. I'm not hating on you it's all what you choose to drive and what you use it for. If that's what fits what you need there totally awesome! That Hyundai Santa Fe or whatever that thing is called with the 2.5 L turbo is fast & pretty cool with a short bed the Maverick gets down & then more capable the Honda Ridgeline 😎👍👍

@emmcey Год назад

@@honda116969 I was just commenting that unibody vehicles can go in deep sand. Of course body on frame are better off road, wasn’t arguing that.

The Pathfinder used to be in the same class as the 4Runner. Sad

@dcjohnson2490 Год назад

I was just thinking that same thing.

@seana985 Год назад

They're trying to make up for them not making Xterra anymore by putting this crap on a crossover and it not really being capable. But most people buy these things for the look anyway.

@koppolaholland9949 Год назад

I got one of these couple months ago. Does anyone know from experience if an indicator light comes on when tire slip occurs and the intelligent 4x4 kicks in? I know they have two warning lights about error and over heat, but can't find if a light let's me know if the system had to do its job to begin with.

@mdonahue21 Год назад

Nothing but Nissans for me for over 30 years. Just let my 2010 Nissan Pathfinder SE go after 13 years and 115k miles. Went over to 4runner; the new Pathfinders are too car-like/minivan like. New 4runner has more interior passenger room, more ground clearance, and feels much more rugged and yet, very smooth ride. Traitorous, I know.

@sid2945 Год назад

I love Nissan. I am using Rogue and wanted to upgrade to Pathfinder. But the only hurdle is non-hybrid. While its competitors have hybrid version. They need to come up with hybrid version in 2024/2025.

@honda116969 Год назад

Always do 0-60 & 1/4 mile PLEASE

@zxtenn Месяц назад

AMAZING times!! Some old 60's muscle cars could barely match those acceleration times, that 3.5 is a long proven engine and far less problematic that a Ford ecoboost, etc. when the miles add up.

@roberthoyt7921 Год назад

Could other Nissan SUVs such as the Rogue/X-Trail and Ariya EV and trucks such as the new Frontier get the same Rock Creek treatment as this new-gen Pathfinder?

@K03sport Год назад

...probably. But the "real" money is in the Pro-4X trim. Nissan can go toe-to-toe w/Toyota's TRD Pro trim and charge $10k over base for it. Now, what items they would include in the Pro-4X on these vehicles to make them worthy, I'm not sure. Maybe the Rock Creek is like Subaru's Wilderness trim.

@dohc1067 Год назад

Respectable SUV, but the premium fuel threw me off.🤔

@ryoamora8655 Год назад

Glad they phased out that rubbish CVT bullshit...CVT is the worst thing to happen to automotive transmissions. Glad to see the Pathfinder slowly going back to it's roots, but would be more rugged if it went back to body on frame.

@KenanTurkiye Год назад

That attempt to look rugged and durable with those wheels some blackening out and black paint here and there is well and all, but the design still looks 'delicate'.

@KenanTurkiye Год назад

ANOTHER LIGHT WEIGHT REVIEW. Did not mention if skid plates were available as an option!

@K03sport Год назад

...according to Nissan's build page, skid plates or under body protection is not available. If there is enough demand, some company will develop oil pan/diff plates. If the frontier pro 4x has them, they might (might) swap over. Plus aftermarket would probably do it cheaper than Nissan.

@@millerliteguru...of course it is, first model run. Our neighbor has a SV and so far it seems to make it back to the driveway everyday. Every vehicle has problems, pick your poison. Jeeps/Wranglers seem to be riddled with issues, and the internet is quick to point that out, but for some reason, they are everywhere (and not broke down on the side of road). I see dozens upon dozens on my drive to work and they are all on the highway and local streets. Sure, most might be leases, but the fact is that even with issues, Jeeps/Wranglers are selling like hot cakes
