Nissan doesn't change or update the 2020 Pathfinder in any meaningful way. The rugged-looking Rock Creek Edition that was introduced last year is still available. However, those who hope the heritage-inspired package actually packs some legitimate off-road equipment will be disappointed.
Pros Solid value in this class, cushy cabin experience, notable 6000-pound towing capacity.
Cons Drives more boatlike than it should, middling cargo storage, small third row.
