Bigger and better, brother To make room for two additional passengers, Nissan has stretched the Pathfinder's wheelbase almost 6 inches and added 5 inches to its length.
hat extra size, combined with the switch to body-on-frame design, added over 500 pounds of additional curb weight, so last year's 3.5-liter engine wouldn't have had enough grunt to get the job done. Nissan responded by adding stroke to the 3.5 and creating a new 4.0-liter V6. Horsepower is a generous 270. Peak torque is a brawny 291 pound-feet.
Step on the gas and the Pathfinder accelerates smartly off the line and maintains stamina all the way up highway grades, even when loaded with passengers and loot. Passing maneuvers come and go without drama, but the 4.0-liter, while smooth, can be noisy above 3,000 rpm. A responsive five-speed automatic transmission serves up crisp shifts at all the right times, and helps improve fuel economy over last year's model. Our test vehicle turned in a respectable 16 mpg in mixed driving.
