Pathfinder or 4Runner? Undecided

Written by: neo on Jun 14, 2004 07:14 PM

Hello everyone. Here is new meat. Looking for objective opinions on this choice. Looking for a sturdy, responsive, and reliable V6 mid size SUV. I'm stepping out of an Audi A6 2.7T so reasonable performance & handling are strong requirements.   In looking at the 2 these are the strong points and drawbacks that I see, and would be interested in ...

Hidden Hitch good/wiring bad

Written by: viking03 on Jun 01, 2004 04:44 PM

I have just installed the hidden hitch round tube class III on my 2003 SE 4x4 - looks great/no interference with bumper etc. It was very cranky going on, requiring WD-40 to excessive amounts to slide on and then to thread bolts. But that was the easy part I'm afraid. I have had much difficulty with the wiring. I'm afraid that 2003 Pathfinders and up may be wired differently ... Read More...

steering wheel rattle fixed...

Written by: viking03 on Jan 21, 2004 08:08 PM

I posted awhile back regarding my incessantly rattling steering wheel (on near-new 2003 SE 4WD). Well, I fixed the problem - cut off an end off one of those rectangular pencil erasers and stuck it between the front shroud and the plastic over the steering wheel shaft linkage - works like a charm as a shock absorber - no more rattling. The question is...why am I resorting ... Read More...

www.irontoad.com. It's under the Nissan/Pathfinder/2003 link, but there is no difference between the model years after 1999.5. Cost is ~$62 plus shipping. It's an easy do it yourself. Gently pry off the interior trim piece with a flat blade screwdriver to expose the screws. Replace one side at a time! Takes all of 15 minutes. And it does do an amazing job at keeping ...

Hey all, just got a 2003 PF SE and I'm loving it! (my first Nissan vehicle) 2 questions, however: Do all PF's have a LSD differential, or is this an option that I missed getting? Second, my owner's manual lists 2 different engines, but I thought all PF's came with the same 3.5 DOHC V6. Do you know what the differences are? Thanks in advance!! Congrats on your purchase! ...

Written by: twelsh140 on Sep 06, 2003 08:20 PM

Yes .91 pound to be exact. Yes Nissan is very aware of the ... Read More...
