Survived a collision and totaled it
Joe S, New York, NY, 06/19/2018
2012 Nissan Pathfinder Silver Edition 4dr SUV 4WD (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
Yes, she saved me and my family from some major collision. Lady decided to pull out in front of me while I was travelling down the highway. I swerved doing 45 mph into the oncoming lane but my front passenger side contacted her front driver side and pushed her all the way to the curb, turning her car about 180 degrees. The airbags deployed and saved us from what could have been some … life threatening injuries. I couldn't open my door as the front of the car shifted in and jammed the door. Thank goodness this Pathfinder was built sturdy enough to take such an awful blow. We all escaped unscathed and am thankful that I had a 2012 Nissan Pathfinder, any other car I don't think we would be as lucky.
2 Year Recap
mrcarp, Freeport, ME, 07/29/2014
2012 Nissan Pathfinder Silver Edition 4dr SUV 4WD (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
2 years old with a little under 13,000 miles.
Continued happiness with the PF.
Seems to be holding up and is still as solid as new.
No issues as of yet (knock on wood).
Replaced the headlight bulbs with super whites.
Drastic improvement over stock.
Let's hope it lasts, with any luck our 4 year old will be driving it, 12
years from now, of course.
MPG
mrcarp, Hanover, NH, 09/11/2012
2012 Nissan Pathfinder Silver Edition 4dr SUV 4WD (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
...continued...Towed about 1,500 lbs. of rocks for 4 hours through the Adirondacks on Sunday and achieved an admirable 19.4 mpgs.
The auto-shift is great and worked smooth going up the some of the steeper hills.
Parked next to a relatively new Grand Cherokee on the ferry and the PF dwarfed it even loaded down with suitcases and the trailer.
2 Weeks Old
mrcarp, Hanover, NH, 09/05/2012
2012 Nissan Pathfinder Silver Edition 4dr SUV 4WD (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
Me again.
Just used the new PF to tow crushed stone.
Was able to pull 2,800 lbs. effortlessly.
The truck did not sink hardly at all when the bucket loader was filling the trailer...our old '03 used to drop it's tail end so much that it looked like the rear wheels would rub.
I will need to get a larger drop hitch though, as the trailer is at quite an angle coming off the 2" drop from the … old rig.
Stay tuned...
