The Beast! R52 2012 Pathfinder

Our 2012 Nissan Pathfinder is a Beast! 375K Miles on her and going strong !! Top notch off road SUV is more powerful than a F250 truck! We haved pulled out Jeeps and F250s even a H2 out of our Muddy Roads in our town ! The power of speed is incredible! 135 mph Feels like 80 mph ! It climbs steep hills at 70 mph without any problems! Its a heavy duty SUV that will last a lifetime if maintained!!

Bought it new in 2012, never a problem

I have used this vehicle for towing, transporting groups. I just hit 100,00 miles and i'm keeping it. Never had a problem. 8 years and I hope to get 8 years more. Glad I bought it. Every time I bring it in for service, they offer me to trade it in at a good price and I say no.

2012 The Best SUV / Truck one can buy

The 2012 Nissan pathfinder 4x4 is one power suv / truck , Having towed out a dodge ram from a muddy road in spring in Montana was perfect for what it was meant to do ! I use mine on Dirt roads and it handles them better than any other truck in my 40 years of driving! Millage of my 2012 Nissan 4x4 pathfinder is ( 281 ,367 ) miles.

Amazing performance car.

Powerful, excellent stability while driving a high speed, remote starting which is so helpful on winter time, back up camera which is the best and very helpful, V6 4.0 power that make me to go from cero (0 ) MPH to 70 MPH in just 5 seconds. You cannot get better car than this, 3er Row that gives you space for 7 persons.

Rugged and Reliable. A pleasure to drive.

This vehicle has been one of the best that I've owned. Minimal maintenance other than normal service has been required. Runs and drives great and have no doubt it will run for many years to come. Does well on and off road and pulling a trailer. It's an excellent all around vehicle. One of the last SUVs of it's kind.

The best suv that I have owned so far

This suv is ideal for long trips, everyday use and whatever you need it for. The only thing that I can say is that it is not that great with gas. Overall I am so glad that I purchased this vehicle. Other trucks may be fancier but this one is great with cargo space and legroom.

Excellent car

I am crazy about this car. I have had zero issues with it. I love the styling and wish Nissan would have never changed it.
