I have always been a Pathfinder Fan...In fact I had 3 of them. Recently I when for 2011 Xterra Pro-4X and it was a Monster with those dual Off-Road Head lamps...MY wife hated it in every way. Fortunately for her, it was parked under an old tree one day and let say a little extra wind it suddenly became a flat bed!!!!

I recently purchases a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee and what a difference, great ride, all-time 4 wheel drive...great price. If you really want something for the Man Cave garage...the SRT is something to look at!!

Good luck with the purchase

Isn't the Grand Cherokee a unibody too?

Aren't the Aramada and the Xterra and all the king cab trucks built on a "manly" truck platform? Given that 99% of people including men never use their SUVs for anything other than driving on suburban roads I think Nissan was very smart converting pathfinder to lighter weight unibody construction. Especially with now near $5 gallon gas prices!

I never understood the redundancy in having Armada and pathfinder. If you half the man you claim to be why not drive the manly Armada? After all that's a mans man SUV. Not a pretender like old pathfinder or what? Girls SUV from Toyota? That Toyota may be truck based but its a chick SUV for sure. It really can't hual anything other than chicks in the back seat.

Yeah, come to think of it, the grand cherokee has always been a unibody. The OP think's that it's for "chick's" and soccer mom's because it's not a body on frame design like a "real" man's truck.
