2026 Platinum App drawer

I've had my Pathfinder for a couple of months now. I've honestly not delved into many of the technology features. So I finally decided to play with the Apps screen and the included apps themselves.

First thing I noticed is that all the apps do not have color. Which to me insinuates they aren't "active". Second thing I noticed is that there isn't a pre-installed Google Play store, so there is no way to add new apps.

I called MyNissan customer service. They told me everything is acting as intended. The gray apps aren't too big of a deal. But it does seem cheaper on a top of the line 2026 model. I would expect them to have the official app colors/designs, like you see on your phone. Then if the app is black and white, that would indicate something is wrong with the app.

The no Google Play store app also seems cheap for a top of the line 2026 model.

DIY Airflow for Pathfinder Rock Creek

I had an idea to ventilate my Pathfinder, because stale air is so last season. Armed with imagination, cardboard for brainstorming, ABS plastic for pretending I'm a pro engineer, noseeum mesh courtesy of my neighbor Mike, silicone weather stripping to seal the deal, and a couple of USB fans for intake and exhaust, I set to work. Sanding and Dremeling later, I'm thrilled to unveil my latest gadget to my trusty adventure chariot.

First outing with the roof tent on the hardbody pathfinder!

Finally got out to eleven mile for some camping with my new Roofnest Meadowlark XL. It held up to some crazy wind! I was actually really impressed. I was worried about the roof being able to hold the weight too, but it held up no problem (the included extra supports and ladder help quite a bit. Gives me a lot more confidence in the setup)

What 3 Row SUV for $35K?

We are in the market for a 3 Row SUV and have narrowed it down to the below three options right around the same price ($35,000).

  1. 2024 Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek

  2. 2024 Kia Sorento Prestige

  3. 2024 Subaru Ascent Onyx

We are a family of 4 with two growing boys. We are an outdoorsy family and a camping trip a few weeks ago really highlighted that we need more space. While we don't have a camper now, we may get a small teardrop camper in the future. We have had a Murano for our last two vehicles (15 years total) and have had no issues with them. Our normal life is typical suburban life driving kids back and forth to things (12K miles per year). We currently don't need it to commute to a job.

The pic shows our rankings of each vehicle (1 best to 3 worst) and as you can see they are close overall.

Pathfinder: Most functional considering size and comes with the standard roof rack and towing hitch. Less tech, but that's not a priority for us. We are comfortable with Nissans (maybe to our detriment).

Sorento: Most fun to drive and best interior. Worried about long term reliability as we keep our cars for 8+ years. Towing capacity is essentially zero so we can't get a camper if we go with this option.

Ascent: A bit boring, but we like the reliability. My brother and sister own five Subaru's in their families and they love them. Solid interior and tech. Seems to be a good compromise between the other two options.

We considered many other options, but Highlanders and Pilots were too expensive and CX-90 was not our style.

2026 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum AC Air

Hi, I have a 2026 Platinum with only 900 miles on it and I’ve noticed during this heat wave that my ac isn’t as cold at all times. At times it’s really cold air and then at times it’s not as cold. Anyone else have this issue?

I'd like to install the chrome bumper from a Nissan Frontier on my Pathfinder.

What do you think? Has anyone done this modification?

R52 - Fuel line vibration in 2018 Pathfinder

After taking the car in to the dealer to have them find the noise, they located the spot where fuel lines pass under the driver and then through the firewall.

Slight looseness there allows them to make ridiculous noise which they claim is "completely normal" and can be ignored. I don't like the noise and the potential for a fuel sender failure in the fuel tank so I'll be replacing the sending unit but I would also like to secure the lines in that area but there are no additional clip locations and they are all snug too.

The question is, have any of you used high temp rated material to put around the lines at points where they touch the body to reduce the vibration? If so, what did you use?

Am I missing courtesy lights?

New 2026 Pathfinder Platinum. Have been familiarizing myself with all the bells and whistles and have discovered there doesn't seem to be any floor/under dash lighting, and no under-door exterior lighting. Is there a control function that I'm missing?

Another roadtrip mpg update from Dallas to Houston road trip with city driving in Houston, final figure at 29.4MPG

This one was a very pleasant surprise. ProPilot On throughout the road trip on I45 with speed at 65 with Eco mode. The highway driving of 550 miles had about 31MPG, but the city driving of approx 120 miles brought it down to 29.4. So far, I am extremely pleased with this 2026 PF Platinum.

PSA: Auto Hold stops holding if you take off your seat belts.

Made a fatal mistake in putting faith on auto hold. Car stopped, then i took off seatbelt to pick up something that fell. The car started moving and almost got t boned. Thankfully it was all slow moving traffic and i stopped the car in time and the other car stopped too. Holy shit i was afraid. Horrible choice on my part. I just didnt know the auto hold would stop because of the seatbelt. Good to know. Holy shit im shook.

2024 Rock Creek for tall people & families

Had to upgrade from a 2011 Xterra Pro4-X for a growing family. My wife and I are both tall. I'm 6'6" and my wife is 5'10" and after a ton of research on 3 row SUV's in terms of legroom/space, we landed on the Pathfinder and couldn't possibly fit better. We have so much legroom, even if I'm in the passenger seat with a car seat behind me. With both car seats in (one front facing, one rear facing) we still fit great. For any other tall people out there looking for SUV's that fit them and their families, look no further. I hope this helps. Also, it's a badass SUV.

Fits 2025 Nissan Pathfinder!Nissan 749A0-3JA0A Cover-Carpet (Vin)

Was missing this cover on the floor near the front passenger seat on my recently purchased 2025 Nissan pathfinder. I kept envisioning wayward french fries falling into this hole on the floor (even though it’s under the floor mat) with no way to get them out, eek! The parts diagram on 2022-2025 Pathfinders shows this part as part of a 600 dollar carpet assembly and not a separate part like it does on the previous generation. I bought a used one on eBay out of curiosity and it FIT, snapped right in :)
