    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.

  • @chiemekaa
    @chiemekaa 2 года назад +152

    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 года назад +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.

    • @aaryeshg.6526
      @aaryeshg.6526 2 года назад +7

      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 года назад +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.

    It’s funny that he complains about the ceiling vents in the second row, but this feature is actually a huge plus for families with kids in rear facing car seats! The center vents fail to get good air flow to the kiddos whos car seat is blocking that center stack, while ceiling vents make it so those kiddos get good air too! So Nissan is actually designing this vehicle with families in mind! 😊

    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 года назад +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.

    • @DougDeMuro

    Weird. The old one was sold under the name "Terrano" where I grew up, in Germany. My parents owned what must have been the 1988 model, the one with the triangular window, from the old ad Doug shows at the beginning of the video.
    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.

    • @euteo
      @euteo 2 года назад +1

      Nah, the Terrano was not the Pathfinder. Terrano was another SUV built by Nissan. After the Terrano was dropped, they launched the X-Trail. Pathfinder is more like the predecessor of the Patrol, although I think they overlapped for a few years.

    • @TrangleC

      @@euteo Don't ask me why, but in Germany they definitely sold that exact car from that old ad, with the triangular window and the 3 distinctive slits in the front under the name "Terrano".
      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.

    he talks about center console vents in the second row like they are better. Second row cieling vents are SO much better

    Personally I don't see it wanting to be "rugged", it looks way more elegant, the lines are clean and the panels are nicely glossy. Looks more like they are going more for a CX-9 competitor in that way.

    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.

    This is much better,.... this shows that Nissan's future is bright!
    And Infiniti can be saved too!
    The New QX60 is awesome!

      The new QX6O is no where as special enough. .

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

    The Pathfinder looks much more tough & aggressive looking than the Telluride. The Telluride looks like they could of done a redesign of the 3rd generation Yukon it looks to me like a Yukon. Pathfinder is much better vehicle all around & it's not a KIA. I bought the new Pathfinder & after looking at the it's rivals I was sold! Great looks great room for the kids. The driving experience is great even better in sport. We just love it.

    Missed the 3 slots in the grille as a throwback to the original Pathfinder

      Also the 3 slots pays tribute to the earlier Nissan Hardbody pickup trucks

    In all honesty, did you genuinely find the process of lowering the headrests cumbersome and challenging??

    I saw one on the road and was surprised how nice it looked for a modern Nissan. Could Nissan finally be getting their shit back together?

    My very first vehicle was a 1997 Nissan Pathfinder SE. This redesign looks really good and that interior looks amazing! I hope it sells well.
