Do you agree with me and think this Nissan Pathfinder is a fantastic 4WD SUV or do you dislike it?
Totally agree. I have a 2008, 4x4, the (rare) version with the 5.6 L from the Armada. 185,000 miles consumes no oil, runs hard.
PS: Not sure if its covered in your vid yet ( as I have just started watching) but since its a 2007, you must replace the radiator or perform the bypass Asap to protect your tranny.
we have a 08 4.0L in red, i absolutely love this car, we bought it used in 2011 and have about 120K miles on it, i take really good care of the car cus i love it so much and i want it to last a long time, i love the truck feel, it feels heavy and its very very roomy, once i put a whole refrigerator in the back, gas millage its horrible but we have a smaller more economical car we use daily. about 2 years ago the power steering had to be replaced, they found metal shavings in the power steering liquid, ended up replacing the pump, front axel and radiator, a little over 5K, i know the car is not worth that much but i think we have this car for a long time to come.
Love our 2010. We off road regularly on the island (PNW), my tall teen has slept in it as the back seats all fold flat and there are even built in flaps to make a flat packing or sleeping surface. We pull a 10’ trailer no problem. And have driven it through slippery wet snowy conditions up the mountain. Big windows. Square shape for packing more.👌 Constantly use all seats with extra friends and family. Great vehicle for SUVrving.
The ultimate back trunk shape allows for two hockey goalie bags! Or the 3rd row seat beside one goalie hockey bag.
@@SMafam5 trust me I would know, grew up playing travel hockey (as a goalie) and still play today
I've got a 2012 pathfinder SV which just turned over 235k and it still going strong. And I use it every day on any type of terrain from the highway to crossing engineers pass on the alpine loop 3 times!
I love it! I have one which I bought brand new in 2005 and still have it with 171,000 miles.. It’s also an off-road! Great road handling and great during winter season..
The same here, I have a 2005 with 172K, I just upgraded the headlights and basically got a brand new look\upgrade, I love my Pathfinder. No one believes it is a 18 years old truck.
@@RonCT_3850 I did the same thing! I replaced the Headlights and fog lights with LED lights which I got at e-bay.. 👍
It's been fantastic for me. I live in Minnesota and it gives me a lot of piece of mind , because it is super reliable in extreme weather conditions. Its the little brother to the armada but still one of the best suv ever
I have a 2005 with 226k miles. Still going strong...yes just maintain your vehicle and it will continue running. I want a 2012 because the 2005s didn't come with side curtain air bags :(.
I have the exact colour, 2012 LE. Very pleasurable ride in terms of engine feel. The 4.0L is just so amazing to drive, and coupled with the 5 speed, shifting is smooth. Body on frame ensures good off-road spec. The 2008 and previous had transmission issues, but that can be corrected with a bypass if done in time.
I have 2010 pathfinder with 307k milage.. still running strong
That's great I'm planning on buying one the diesel model what would u recommend to look out for ?
People need to stop talking about the poor gas mileage "in comparison". There is no comparison to the common SUV as they're AWD unibody while the R51 has a full frame and a 2-speed transfer case for a true 4x4. An actual comparison 4Runner, almost LandCruiser, LandRovers, Jeep Commander and such. As you said, it's a truck, it's a truck underneath and no fair to compare it to car-based SUV's.
I have a Nissan Pathfinder 2001 3.5 LE in northern Mexico, it works very well, greetings to all
Nice!
I have a 2006. Its very reliable with minimum maintenance. Great truck
I miss mine soooo much I still feel stupid for trading it in 😢
It was a 2009 Nissan Pathfinder SE and I put 30k miles on it in a year and it never let me down.
I miss my patsy 😭
Daily is a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder V8. 160k on the clock and runs 90% new👍 Purchased 4 years ago with 125k miles, one owner, accident free. Just routine and proactive maintenance. Exclusive of the thirsty optional factory 5.6l it's enjoyable and reliable to drive. The V8 option was available from 08 to 12 to compete with the V8 4Runner. It was an option that's harder to find.
Good video informational thank you
Getting my first used 2008 I’m excited
Mine is upol raptor black and we love its look... Almost 400.000 km... My dearest vehicle ever
most of the R51 pathfinders here have the YD25 turbo diesel engine, it's a great combo.
I have 08 Nissan Pathfinder V6. It has 150,000 miles, it’s been my daily driver for 14 years now and no major issues. Still running like a champ. No problem on deep snow, it’s unstoppable. This truck is made to last.
Got a base model 2010 as a hand me down from grandparents as my first car. They also upgraded the stereo head unit and a backup cam. Very nice car and actually a decently fast car if you give it the juice! Also an NJ guy and the car mostly lived for the first decade a few miles out of Ocean City.
Mines between 186000-190000 miles and still going, live this car.
I love it!
Just bought a used 2005 SE with 162,000 miles, put eight thousand miles on it in one month and no major issues obviously keeping up regular maintenance. My kids love this thing. Only paid 3500 best 3500 I ever spent in my life. Handles well it doesn't look bad and like the video says for a midsize SUV the space is definitely convenient. I've seen a lot of videos of people bitching and complaining about this particular year maybe I just got lucky but I got to say Nissan have to hold their value to an extent my whole family has owned nothing but Nissan's and infiniti's for the past 20 years no major issues. My mother bought a 2004 Nissan Armada in 2004 and ran it to almost 500,000 miles before I took a shit.
I also Just bought a 2005 LE with the same millage. No evidence of coolant in the transmission so far but I immediately bypassed the radiator anyway just for peace of mind. Its got a lot of rust from living in Illinois but the interior is damn near factory. lots of little issues I am working out and fixing as I notice them but overall absolutely love the truck. $5000.
just brought a mint condition le v8 few days ago. such a nice truck.
Just make sure you either replace the radiator or do the transmission cooler bypass if you aren't towing. If you don't fix this, the transmission will be contaminated with antifreeze and that will kill it. Nissan never admitted the problem existed and they only warranteed it at a mileage that was earlier than the problem occurs. I can't emphasize enough. It's not if, it's when this will happen. Other than that, the only things i don't like is 1st gear is too low for the street. I wish there was a wsy to start up in 2nd and the gas mileage is pathetic. This is a great winter heavy, full frame, 4WD SUV.
As a 3rd gen t4r lover, i love these pathfinder for their boxy figures... its a beautiful car.
I have a black 2011 pathfinder silver edition im the 2nd owner and i love it ive ĥad mine all the way to Pensacola fla i live in eastern ky and its done great ive not had any problems out of mine and i have over 192 thousand miles on mine the ac compresser is starting to go the bearings are worn out which id say is normal for the year and miles it is all black inside and out mine is 4 wheel drive and ive taken mine off road way back up in the hills where you should take a atv i took my pathfinder an didnt have to put it in 4 wheel drive its that good i have used 4 wheel drive and i must say for a v6 i do get good gas mileage and like i said i took it to Pensacola fla and used 130 bucks in gas to get there and thats doing 90 and 95 i love my pathfinder and will be keeping it for many years to come
My 2012 serves my family for 10 years, still inlove with this Truck until today❤, replace the factory suspension with ironman foam cell (stage 2) with 1.5" lift, and 1.5" offset 17" wheels, it's a head turner down the road😬
2006 with 165k miles. Transmission went out at 100k which there was a recall for. Ther's been minor problems here and there but it keeps going and all I do is change the oil.
i have one like it 2007 v6 4.0 Full option and i a small turbo that I installed because in Saudi Arabia we have large sand dunes in offfroed so it is useful in climbing it The bumper bridge in the chassis was destroyed in a traffic accident in 2019, and we are the first owners of it, but repairing it would have been more expensive than buying a new one, and also after repairing it would not be the same, so we sold it to the scrapyard, but it is really a very good car if I want a practical car and It has a touch of luxury and calmness on the road and strength in the wilderness and even on the roads, races and drifting. It never let me down. Even I can race with it a Toyota Camry 2018 Garandi and win. I have tried and also a Chevrolet Caprice 8v. I have good memories with this car. I drove it. 600,000 km, and it really did not let me down in any way, and it would have completed had it not been for the accident now i have nissan navara 2015 Diesel I can tell I still have my Pathfinder in some way
Hi everyone, I agree with the video, I've had a Pathfinder r51 for 5 years and really never had any problems, I've made a thousand trips with it, slept everywhere, comfortable, spacious, powerful, it takes you everywhere... in the past I've had several off road but I have to say my Nissan is the best so far!
I bought a 2019 nissan fronteir pro4x cause I like the body style and 4.0 motor with 5speed its a bulletproof combo and looks good too
I agree 100%! I have a 2008 and love it. It's rugged, comfortable and dependable. I just completed preventive maintenance such as new front struts, rear shocks, brakes all around, ball joints, exhaust system and sensors that should be replaced for the mileage 125,000.
Do you still have your 2008 pathfinder?
I'm considering getting one !
LMAO you did everything that was not necessary....... If you wanted to do real preventative maintenance you would of done the transmission oil cooler bypass......
Where did you get the rain guards for front windows ?
I've owned my r50 2000 (2'nd Gen) Pathy for almost 6 years now and it hasn't missed a beat. I've used it as my daily driver with MANY beach 4WD trips to the islands off Brisbane area in South east Queensland, Australia and it has NEVER let me down.
I am looking to upgrade to something more modern yet don't want something with too much tech as that only leads to more problems. Was thinking a smaller SUV to save on fuel and was considering a Subaru Outback or XV (Crosstrek) yet that may struggle in dry sandy tracks of Moreton, North Stradbroke and Fraser islands.
Thinking up going to the r51 (3'rd Gen) instead as I know it'll be just as reliable mechanical wise in particular. I just fear that cost at the bowser for filling up
With the 6 cylinder in it, it's not TERRIBLE fuel wise but I can see that concern for sure
I have a 2006 4.0 4X4 SE with 297,000 miles. Going strong. Blows away the 4 runner by far. Ask me how….
How , blows away the 4 runner??
How
It’s a great vehicle I have one of those
What brand are those rain guards on window?
Does Pathfinder 2008 edition have auxiliary gear?
It’s a great vehicle I have one
I hate when someone says to like , comment, and subscribe before you have a chance to watch the video.
Need advise - Friends I am in Dubai and wanna buy a 2008 Pathfinder. What would you suggest?
Of we compare it with Toyota fortuner v6...which one the better?
How is the reliability?
I'm looking at purchasing a red one, 3 rows, SE trim level. 2008 with 118k miles for 7k. I know nothing about Nissan. What are your thoughts
I think you can find a good one for 4k or 5k.
My 05 is doing great, lots of bells, and whistles. Lots of power, a very cool ride.
difference SE LE ?
How does this pull trailers
Very easy. It pulls heavy trailer with easy and great control.
Ugly is the same compatible year 4runners. At least nissans fenders are literally built into the design instead of the runner looking like a bolt on nightmare. 😆
Pathfinder Awesome 😎
Its literally almost the same size though as a Chevy Tahoe. Park yours next to a Tahoe and I bet you'll be like wtf! 😆
Sorry but I have to calls B S! I have a 2007 pathfinder 4x4 (163k miles) AND a 2003 Tahoe 2wd(255 k miles) and there is no question the Tahoe is superior to the pathfinder ( Tahoe and the 5.3 liter vortex engine has NEVER been in a mechanic shop). Meanwhile the pathfinder has had camshaft sensor malfunction, driveshaft replaced, radiator replacement, thermostat replace, fan clutch etc,,..,
I've never viewed it as an ugly vehicle
I have a Diesel
is it true that the turbodiesel is very slow when acceleration ? thanks👍
@recepgokkaya6602 Yeah, you definitely can't compare it with the Petrol variants. But you get really good fuel economy compared to the petrol ones. As well as the towing torque.
I don't think you're buying the Pathy for speed anyways.
@@kalumbabwale3729 thank you for your answer, but if I load the car completely full with luggage and two adults and three children, can the car still accelerate along with the traffic?
@@recepgokkaya6602 Yes
