Nissan Pathfinder. Nissan Pathfinder 2013-2026 Owner's Manual
Once upon a time, somebody looked at a small, off-roading vehicle like the Nissan Pathfinder and said to himself: "You know, I think I could use that to replace the family station wagon. It's a lot cooler looking than dad's Country Squire. And I wouldn't be caught dead in a minivan." From then on, the Pathfinder and other SUVs have become bigger and more refined to meet the demand of millions of like-minded buyers.
