Pros
6,000-pound towing capacity near the top of the class
Comfortable and quiet highway ride
Spacious cabin

Cons
The front seats feel a bit stiff

By: 
edmunds.com

Pros
Upscale, airy interior
Many standard tech and safety features
Pleasant driving dynamics

Cons
Above-average starting price

By:

Completely new for 2022, the Pathfinder sheds the frumpy design of the 2020 model in favor of a rugged and modern look. Expect to see the new Pathfinder in Nissan dealerships in summer 2021.

Pros
Quiet cabin,
impressive towing capacity,
plentiful storage cubbies and bins.

Cons
Lackluster handling,
numb steering,
loaded model costs more than Telluride but isn't quite as nice.
