The Nissan’s Pathfinder story started back in 1986 when the first generation was released.
In 2005, the Pathfinder was at its 3rd major redesign, with substantial improvements including interior space and power.

The 2005 Pathfinder returned to the original body-on-frame from the unit-body configuration.

The adventurous attitude of the SUV was easy to spot while looking at the exterior design. Angular lines, prominent fender flares, a standard roof rack and the bold front along with the stepped-out rear bumper gave the Pathfinder a rugged look.

Available in XE, SE, SE Off-Road and LE, with a 2-wheel-drive or a 4-wheel-drive system, the Pathfinder suited most of the users’ needs.

The SE Off-Road trim level was equipped with hill descent and hill start assist, different wheels and suspension and Rancho shock absorbers.
All trim levels shared the 4.0-liter V6 engine, developing 270 hp and 291 pound-feet of torque.

The interior of the Pathfinder was nicely finished and well equipped, even for the base model. In included air conditioning, cruise control, a 6-speaker audio system, keyless remote entry and privacy glass.

Interior space was considerably increased and a 3-rd row seat was available, thus the Pathfinder could accommodate up to 7 people.

The Pathfinder was one of the luxurious SUVs with serious off-road capabilities.
