Can we write a thousand word essay on the fall line, large, three-, body-on-frame sport utility vehicle, but it seems useless. Instead, we will do our best to show what the penalty will apply to you by choosing this type of vehicle crossover one new competitor.
Yes, people can surely too pessimistic about the age of Pathfinder complain about, but optimistic, rooted in the glass-half-full can take a 4800 kg bag of lemons and some sweet lemonade. It took us all week with a 2011 Nissan Pathfinder, but ultimately we knew exactly who this vehicle for it. Is it for you?
If someone gives a pen and paper and a sport-utility vehicles to pull the question, the resulting sketch may look the same as in 2011 Nissan Pathfinder. It is strong, thanks to excessive wheel arches and flares wide, but somehow much more gentle on the front because of the friendly chrome fascia. In the backyard, Nissan has done very little known fact that Pathfinder is a big box on wheels undercover, and we appreciate that the concession to form follows function.
Built on the F-Alpha platform Nissan, which also became the basis of the Nissan Frontier and Titan pickup with Xterra SUV, Pathfinder uses the traditional ladder frame, with heavy steel rails run the length of the vehicle. Everything is firmly screwed to the frame of the engine and transmission to the body and passenger compartment at the front and rear suspension systems.
Unlike many of his brothers, the Pathfinder has warned that a strong lead for a period of four independent wheel suspension. You would think that would be smooth on the same highway, but it does happen. In fact, the Pathfinder rides like a truck, no doubt because the steel frame of the box entirely. Even small bumps in the road sending loud bangs through the chassis and passenger tailbones. larger lumps somehow better absorbed by the rigid structure, but you can expect a shock wave will sound the same great road through the steering wheel on the driver's hand.
4.0-liter V6 engine, powertrain 2011 Pathfinder is a critical partner in the most driving scenarios. There are 266 hp at 5600 rpm and 288 pound feet of torque at 4800 rpm - enough for this company moving brutal. A task that traditional body-on-frame SUVs in general, tower over their counterparts crossover is when towing heavy loads. transport capacity with 6,000 pounds when properly equipped, the Pathfinder does not disappoint. Better than the Ford Explorer and Toyota Highlander (£ 5,000 maximum) or Chevrolet Traverse (5200 pounds), but not as good as the Jeep Grand Cherokee newer and Dodge Durango (7400 pounds).
There are three rows of seats, which means that the Pathfinder can accommodate up to seven occupants, with the assumption that most of them small. In every important measure of shoulder space for leg room, the Pathfinder is a few inches more stringent than the Explorer and Traverse. This means that the second line is really only comfortable for two occupants, and the third is smaller.Full-size adults can forget about the third row's tiny nose-bleed seats.
