YearBody/PowertrainComment
2006 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 Rear seat is cramped. I would gladly give up the third row seat, for more room for the rear (2nd row) seats. see full Nissan Pathfinder review
2006 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic RWD		 Rear seating is small for long hauls, and seats WAY too hard see full Nissan Pathfinder review
