While the Nissan Pathfinder didn’t undergo a full redesign for the new model year, it did get a refresh that makes this SUV even more appealing. As local Nissan dealers who are used to digging out from under snow from time to time, one of the things we love about this capable vehicle is that it is well equipped to get you wherever you need to be even when the weather outside is less than ideal.
