#7340 of 8189 you ignored what i said completely. by bowke28

a LOADED LE in 2004 with everything except satellite radio and dvd system is $36140.a LOADED 2005 LE with everything except navi, dvd, and satellite radio is $36970.
i apologize, it went up $830...not $400.
the problem is that the 2005 has VDC standard where it is an option on the 2004. same goes for the tow hitch.

physically significantly larger?While the rear seat and cargo space may go up nicely (which pleases all the poseurs who acquire SUV's to drive them around suburbia), those of us who seek serious trails often find that smaller is better.
Besides which, lighter usually equals somewhat better fuel economy (as if that were possible with this engine).
Is the goal to drive (sorry) the serious off-roader to the Xterra?
Either way, they missed me by a year. I got my PF while it was still intermediate, before it started wanting to be an Excursion.
I think it was also the last year the Pathfinder was built in Japan
#7342 of 8189 More on tire wear by deebardac
Mar 30, 2004 (9:25 pm)
The Cross Terrain tires installed on my 2001 LE at 31,000 miles have been replaced with Michelin LTX MS after 26,000 miles of use. The center area of each tire was worn down to the wear bars while the outer and inner edges still had about 5/32nds left. It looked like a classic case of over inflation but at 26 PSI this was not the case. I had contacted Michelin, and while they agreed that I was doing everything right, rotating every 4000 miles etc., they really had no advice to offer as to what the uneven wear might be caused by. A generous adjustment was given by Michelin but the problem was not resolved. Perhaps it was just a case of the wrong tire for the vehicle. Has anyone experienced this type of wear? The OE Dunlop Grandtreks wore exactly the opposite which prompted me to start out the Cross Terrains at 30 PSI but quickly return to 26 PSI when the uneven wear began to show.I will let you know what happens to the LTX. ( Started
28 PSI)

yes, it is getting bigger. should be about the size of a honda pilot or ford explorer. not huge, but useful. it is still on the traditional truck-based body-on-frame platform, but will also have an extra inch of ground clearance.the problem nissan ran into was that the pathfinder lost its place in the lineup. the murano is a 5-passenger SUV with updated technology and nicer features (and is still built in japan). the xterra is more utilitarian, and does the off-road stuff better than almost every other SUV (under $40k).
so where, oh where do we put the pathie now? there is only one obvious answer. mid-sized, and with 3 rows of seats. at present, the only vehicles that nissan has that will hold 7 people are the armada and the quest. the armada is ok for folks who have $40k-$45k to spend. but for those who dont? the quest. what? you dont want a minivan? ok. have fun with your pilot or explorer, sir...bye.
pathfinder sales took a dump when the murano arrived. beleive me...we can hardly give them away. this move to "a little more pathfinder" is the best move by nissan next to the titan launch.

the added info, Keith. Appreciate it. I'm still pleased to have one from the last year of a very successful run of the original version.#7345 of 8189 on occasion... by bowke28
Mar 31, 2004 (12:07 pm)
people still ask for one "before they screw them up" (their words), but for the most part, the murano has spanked the pathfinder out of existence. to give you an idea, we keep over 20 muranos, and only about 5 pathies at any given time.#7346 of 8189 Did I get a good deal? by kesone95

Apr 04, 2004 (3:48 am)
Hello, It has been a long long time since i've been on this board! shouts to woodyr1 and pathstar.Does anyone know if calipers are considered items that will be replaced under the 60000km warrenty.
I took my 2001 SE PF for a brake inspection at midas and was told that both of the front calibers are sticking/ceasing. Furthermore it is causing uneven wear on my pads and warping the rotors.
Any input is greatly appreciated!
