#30 of 39 4-Runner vs. Pathfinder by aggie10 Aug 21, 2007 (8:51 am)
Please help! I currently drive a Suburban, but I'm interested in changing to a 4Runner or a Pathfinder. My wife and I have 3 sons. We don't travel a lot, but we need some extra space for when we do travel (or get groceries), etc... The MPG is important, but not a deal killer. I just don't like the Suburban being so big (but the Tahoe only has a small amount of room in the back). Please give me your opinion. It seems like this might be the best time to buy a 2007, so I don't want to wait too long. Thanks.

Replying to: aggie10 (Aug 21, 2007 8:51 am) I would look at something else if you are getting a LE price range vehicle. I like the room of the Pathfinder, but the ride is not good. I still have not found out anything on my shimmy in my steering wheel when I hit a bump. The gas is not what it should be for that size engine either. If you get one, be sure to have them knock of $5000 right off the sticker on a 2007. Not including the rebate. If they won't don't buy it. Replies to this message: aggie10 (Aug 22, 2007 9:20 pm)

Replying to: aggie10 (Aug 21, 2007 8:51 am) Have you also looked at the Saturn Outlook / GMC Acadia CUV twins? I am also trying to decide which SUV/CUV to replace my '97 Olds Bravada and the Outlook, Pathfinder, and 4Runner are on my final list. These two GM CUVs have had great reviews since they came out in early in the year. My only concern about them is that they may have too much room in back for my needs.

Replying to: aggie10 (Aug 21, 2007 8:51 am) My 2003 V6 4X4 4Runner averages 15.5mpg overall. Five people would be cramped. In the long run, it would probably be less expensive to keep what you have and pay the gas bill then to have to make new vehicle payments. Unless you need 4WD or tow, a minivan might be a consideration.

Replying to: aggie10 (Aug 21, 2007 8:51 am) I've got a 2003 4Runner. 5 people and luggage would be a tight squeeze in a 4Runner. And the mileage isn't great either (I average 16-17 mpg combined, maybe 19 on the highway if I'm going slowly). If you think the Tahoe doesn't have enough room in back, then you'll be really disappointed with the MUCH smaller 4Runner.   If you don't need offroad capability, I'd look at a cross-over or minivan. You'll get more room inside and less of the drawbacks of a body-on-frame SUV. Look at GM's Acadia/Outlook/Enclave.

Replying to: rikrikardo (Aug 21, 2007 5:46 pm) I looked at the Acadia and like it, but I heard they won't deal on it. I like the looks, but can't give you anything else on the vehicle. Does have a lot of room though.

Replying to: madaboutpath (Aug 09, 2007 2:14 pm) I have a 2008 4x2 LE Pathfinder and have the SAME problem with the steering. The wheel tries to shake itself out of my hands when hitting a bump at highway speeds. Very unnerving. Any resolution out there?
#38 of 39 Will not by another Nissan Product by cabrams Dec 01, 2007 (4:46 pm)
My daughter had leased the 2004 Pathfinder because she liked the first one she had when she was in college. ( 1997 Model Year ) Her 2004 lease is up and at this moment looking at another SUV. Her experience with the Pathfinder and re-acurring engine noise problems, Cd changer problem, the high service costs ....and the way she was treated by the Valley Stream, Long Island NY dealership service left her negative about Nissan.   She had a standard 30,000 mile service checkup that cost $600.00. three weeks later when she had and she had to renew her inspection sticker, They found two badly worn belts ( $150.00 )that had to be replaced...Three weeks after the the service done at Nissan !!!!   I have had six Toyota 4-Runners since 1989. Had few if any problems over the years and will buy another one when my 2006 expires. This has been a reliable SUV and I would highly recommend it.
#39 of 39 4runner or Pathfinder?? by karendonkin Jul 26, 2009 (4:55 pm)
I am looking at buying an older model 4runner or Pathfinder (around 1990ish) little earlier or later doesnt really matter to me. I have been recomended the 4runner by a few people due to it being to common and supposedly reliable. but i dont know alot either way. Does anyone have any suggestions for which one is a better car around the 1990 mark?   Thanks Karen
