2009 Nissan Pathfinder LE 4x4

I like this chassis (sans independent rear suspension) and engine in the Frontier pickup (and its Suzuki Equator twin), but I'm not sold on them in the Pathfinder LE. The F-Alpha frame and 4.0-liter V-6 feel at home in the truck, but here-where the interior is packed with an odd array of luxuries and a price tag above forty grand-they come off feeling a bit too stiff and coarse. Still, it's not a bad SUV. Overall, it drives fairly well for a body-on-frame sport-utility. Evan McCausland, Web Producer
