2013 Nissan Pathfinder Gets Unibody Makeover

Postby azi malik on Tue Sep 04, 2012 3:16 am

With the Pathfinder and X-Terra, Nissan has been one of few manufacturers to continually offer body-on-frame SUVs at the mid-size level. Manufacturers have been steadily ditching the BOF underpinnings for people movers. Their capabilities for towing and off-road use are seldom used (if at all) by most, while they weigh more, ride poorer and get worse fuel economy.

The Ford Explorer has rocketed up the sales charts after a unibody transformation, and Nissan has taken notice of this success. They polled their customers and found the same thing that Ford did – off-road ability isn’t what customers wanted. The result is the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder, based on the three-row Infiniti JX.
