Has anyone pulled the trigger on the 2026 Pathfinder Rock Creek, thoughts of it? My family is needing to upgrade to a larger SUV that can tow for our business (6,000 pounds is about perfect for our needs) and I want the available 3ed row as our family grows over the years. I was really hoping to be able to find a 2023-2025 lightly used Rock Creek to be able to dodge the steep first year depreciation but I’m finding they’re quite hard to find? At least in my area in Colorado.

We have a paid off 2025 Honda CRV LX that I bought the summer of 2024 when we were expecting our first baby, at the time it was a big upgrade but again now we need the towing ability and I want the size to last many years.

I’m not the happiest about the loss of depreciation over the last almost two years so I told myself I would try and buy used to save. So I guess I’m just curious of others thoughts of 2026 vs the previous years, is there much that makes it nicer or better to just hold off and see what I can find? How did you go about getting a cash offer from the dealership on new inventory or other discounts?

Thanks so much!

Hi all! I am looking to purchase a new SUV. I've test driven many and honestly have really enjoyed the ride and feel of the 2026 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum. Nissan have had a bad reputation with unreliable transmissions though. All vehicles I've owned (Honda, Ford, and Mazda) I've gotten to near or over 300,000 miles without major issues and I would like to continue this trend.

I know Nissan is fixing their errors and, with newer models, have done away with the CVT transmission for a 9-speed but I wanted to ask, for those who have a newer Pathfinder, how's it working out for you? Do you feel more confident you vehicle will hold out for the long haul?

Thank you!

Just got a 2026 pathfinder and downloaded the app. It keeps sending notifications that the doors are unlocked. Like at 2am in the morning the rear door is unlocked?? The doors are locked. Both my husband and I downloaded the app and it sometimes sends these alerts to my husband but not me or vice versa. Has anyone had this experience with the app?

Hello I’m looking at buying a used 2020-2024 pathfinder.

I know almost nothing about cars so I was hoping to ask if there’s anything I should know about the car? Anything I should avoid? Maybe I could get some opinions on the car and its general reliability?

Any advice is appreciated! Thanks so much!

Hey everyone,

Looking at purchasing a 2025/2026 rock creek in the near future, but have read some horror stories about sunroof leaks on the earlier models right after the facelift (2023). Have these issues been fixed in the later years?

I could always buy a model without a sunroof but plan to buy slightly used for cost savings and therefore inventory is a lot more limited.

I never used the wireless charger in my 2023 Pathfinder platinum, because I always had the cable plugged in for android auto. I have a wireless adapter now for android auto and I want to use the wireless charger, but I've used the wireless charger cubby for 3 years as a storage area for napkins and other junk. I don't want to completely give up that space and was wondering if anyone has ever seen a little shelf that can go in the cubby to provide some storage above the phone.

First off, really really enjoy my car. It’s practical for me and it’s made my life easier. Not the fanciest car but thing is sturdy and comfortable.

That being said, there are a couple of annoyances….

- The most annoying thing is accelerating from 0. There seems to be a lag from the moment you press the pedal to the time the car registers it.

The scenario:

You press the pedal and expect the car to be moving @ 5 to 10 mph . Why? Because you’ve pressed the pedal and hear the engine revving.

What actually happens:

You press the pedal, hear the engine and nothing for a second or two. Then the car jolts and starts going.

Super super annoying. Never had a car ever do that. I’ve driven a wrangler, tacoma, 328d, 350z (Nissan that drove smoothly), 2 corvettes, Corolla. Alllll drove smoothing from a dead stop.

Also,

Similar thing happens when you go from drive to reverse. The indicators all say you’ve made the change and when you press the pedal there is a delay. Then the car jolts in reverse.

I have gotten used to it but it is very dangerous. Overall love the car. Just wish that wasn’t an issue and I’d give it 10/10

Anyone moved one in a 22 or newer? Wondering if I can stuff one in there?
