This generation, built on a ladder frame chassis, offered a practical blend of off-road capability and on-road comfort. It was available in both two- and four-door configurations, with seating for up to seven passengers. The Pathfinder was powered by a 3.3-liter V6 engine, initially mated to a four-speed automatic transmission, later upgraded to a five-speed unit. While not as powerful as its competitors, the Pathfinder’s engine provided ample torque for towing and navigating rough terrain. Its spacious interior, equipped with durable materials and generous cargo space, made it an ideal family vehicle for adventurous outings.
