Totally redesigned and re-engineered for 2005, the current Pathfinder is significantly larger than previous models. It offers more interior space and more convenience features. It also offers third-row seating for up to seven people.
The 4.0-liter V6 that powers the Pathfinder is a larger, retuned version of the engine that powers the 350Z. Its five-speed automatic transmission is specifically geared to capitalize on the engine's torque characteristics. Maximum towing capacity, with proper equipment, is 6000 pounds.
