I got about 230k miles on my 04 4x4. Started giving me headaches around 190k, I should have just got rid if it then. Overall it was a decent rig. But I wouldn't recommend it if you anticipate high miles/use. It definitely doesn't have the same reliability or longevity of a toyota.

I tuned mine up I changed the pcv valve, the valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, all the control arms and stabilizers, starter, battery, , changed the oil to full synthetic and put a new set of tires on. I was able to drive from south Texas along the cost all the way up to Washington state in just 2 days no issues no overheating and the gas mileage was good.. I recommend buying one of these for travel.

Toughest car I've ever owned

12 year owner with 240k miles through all sorts of driving and conditions. Extremely dependable and durable. This was our family car and suffered several wrecks due to operator error. Strong 4WD and decent mpg. Only complaint is a little too much play in the steering wheel, coupled with the boxiness, the top heavy feel deters any sort of adventures driving, if you're in to that. Great vehicle nonetheless.

This is my third Pathfinder and they've all been fantastic. Bought it new, and after 40k miles, not one major problem. Only minor problem was an alignment. That's it. Don't like the climate control much, I prefer three dials, but that's subjective. Plenty of space, not really a luxury SUV, but a solid performer and can handle just about any task... commuting, towing, hauling. Plus it's really a handsome car. Even though the gas mileage is pretty lousy, I plan to keep it anyway because it's just so reliable. Almost a perfect car.

Still love this vehicle

This is my 2nd Pathfinder (1st was an '02 model.) Had to trade in due to vehicle having 97,000 miles after 2 years. But, had no problems at all, just traded in due to mileage! I love how open this vehicle is and how easy it is to see around me. It drives like a car, not like a truck as so many SUV's do. My only complaints are the size of the back seat & doors (very difficult to hoist a 30 lb child into his car seat) and head room (my 6'6" & 6'7" brothers do not like to ride in my vehicle.) Otherwise, awesome SUV. There is a reason I got another one!!!
