“Sampling the Latest Automotive Delicacies!”
We're beginning the process of rolling out some changes to our reviews to make them even more informative, entertaining and visually cohesive! We're excited to see what you guys think in the comments below! 😁
I love it! Keep doing the videos that way
I can’t wait!!!!

Can we just commend the fact that yall have revamped the entire style of this video?!? I love the fact that u both have a chance at talking about different features in the same section of the vehicle and mason with the measuring tape and ruler helps so much especially when doing comparison test. This makes the channel so much better and makes reviews more fun to do. this is the teamwork that makes it fun for all. The “Whats going on YT” is a hallmark but i find this intro to be 10x better 😄.
Thanks, Joseph! Your feedback means a lot to us since you have been a long time subscriber!

I use to own a 1995 Pathfinder and there’s always been a place in my heart for this vehicle. So glad they dumped the CVT and I really like how they’re bringing back allot of the features from the legacy generations, such as the front hood slits, C post pillars, and really like what they’ve done to the rear of the vehicle (exterior). We test drove one in Oct 2022 and found that the Pathfinder didn’t tick as many boxes as the competitors, however, the price point was relatively the same (or more!). Looks like they’re slowly trying to play catch-up adding options such as a power passenger seat to the lower trim levels (finally!). Rock Creek didn’t impress, it seemed like badging, roof rack & wheel package, not to mention the front passenger seat was not powered! We loved the way it drove, really like the shifter over push button. Also found it super comfortable and very good ride quality. However, with the launch of the new Pilot I see the Pathfinder falling behind & playing catch-up once again with the competition in this class. Only 7” ground clearance for the Pathfinder, pretty well the lowest in this class. If you are a Pathfinder loyalist you’ll love what they’ve done with the Pathfinder. If you’re in the market for a vehicle in this class it won’t take you long to notice that you can get more vehicle for the same (or less) money with another competition brand.
Love the sound decibel marker on the vid 👍 for those of us that value sound levels over most other things!
This will be my dream SUV to buy in 2023.
No offense but that’s a shitty dream! Don’t waste your money in a Nissan 🙏🏾
@@melvinmezon1944 what do you drive?
Mine is it’s bigger brother the infiniti QX60 are custom ordering one in a Few months
Or maybe you have to check the new Honda Pilot elite 😁
@@melvinmezon1944 still don’t understand all the shit people give Nissan. They actually are a good brand. My family has owned a couple and they last a long time. As well as maintenance was NEVER anything crazy. I loved driving them too. They aren’t luxury but they definitely are good.
I like the 2023 Nissan pathfinder, it’s very nice! I love the new way y’all do the videos now, it’s awesome
Outstanding review...very practical and useable advice. Appreciate you spent a week with this vehicle so you truly seemed to understand what it's like to live with it. Your in-depth, objective analysis helped immensely...thank you.
So glad to hear that! Thanks for the kind words!
You brothers are so down to earth and watchable man! Love your reviews Keep it up! Asif from the UK 😊
Thanks a ton! We appreciate that 😁
So glad you guys started doing the tape measure test! But could you also tell us the length of the floor from behind the 2nd row since most people will probably just have the third row down most of the time. For me, square footage is more important than cubic footage for real world usage. Great job!
Thanks! We will take note of that suggestion!
I love the way how you guys stared the video intro
Great! Love to hear that
I’m glad the passenger seat can be adjusted up now.
Nice job guys! We have a 2023 SL WITH PREMIUM PACKAGE AND ENJOY IT! You showed us a few things we didn’t know it had!I actually got 2500.00 off sticker, no unnecessary dealer add ons and free rubber floor mats
This new video format is so nice. One love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Thank you! That means a lot coming from a long-time subscriber!
Thank you for the review!
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Loving the new format! Takes all the good stuff of the old and kicks it up a notch! I appreciate that the reviews have a set flow, it makes it easier to compare vehicles.
Only thing I don’t like about it is that it feels more like an advertisement, whereas the old one felt more laid back and casual.
Thank you! We appreciate that
I love incandescent bulbs. In winter they melt the ice and snow. Leds just get all covered up.
I have one of these, it's awesome!
We purchased a '22 SL/premium package back in Oct. '21. So far after 15 months we really enjoy and love this vehicle. Sure there are a couple of little nit picks we could find but what vehicle doesn't.
Great work as always.....vs QX60 - -- how much better is QX60 ride.....and how much nicer is interior on QX60? Trying to determine if it's noticeable - or if it's a GM-esque badge engineering. Thanks and continued success.
Also the Passenger seat is improved!
Love the pathfinder.👍
Bought my 23 Platinum in Dec I'm extremely pleased with this crossover.
Congrats on your new Pathfinder!
Just bought our 24 with the premium package. The family loves it
Also, I like when both of you are there. Great video as always.
Thanks!
Excellent video, guys. Thank you. Please keep it up.
Thanks, will do!
Really nice…Nissan is coming back. The price is very reasonable too. Thanks for the great review. Glad for the V6 and no CVT..
They have a long way to go for a comeback. Nobody is buying Nissan these days.
the was the coolest car intro ive seen lol love your guys vids Edit:disappointed there's no led turn signals there should be especially on the top model
Thanks! We appreciate that!
As a new owner of a '23 Pathfinder Platinum all wheel drive, you both are spot on. The seating is incredible/quiet/good factory warranty. The fuel savings engine on-off switch drives me nuts...I would like a switch that I can permanently turn off. With 2k now on it, averaging 23.2 mpg, I'd say 9/10 so far.
It doesn't have a turn off switch?
@@stuckinchaselandia6427 He means you have to turn it off every time you get in the vehicle.
I just purchased this model three days ago with the Baja Storm color. I passed on the Rock Creek as it didn't have the rear remote Hatch opener nor a driver side electric seat. My former Pathfinder had the same problem and my passengers were sitting lower to the floor which I didn't like. The new Platinum will be my final car.
Congrats on your new Pathfinder!
Pleaseeeee call out headrests that are uncomfortably too far forward with no ability to adjust the angle. I’m having to shop for a vehicle that doesn’t hurt my neck. Same with the seat for long drives - needs to be comfortable. Your long haul opinions are valuable because we can’t do a long drive as a test drive. Lucky to even get a test drive with some models. Who could possibly choose a vehicle without even driving one. That is why your Opinion matters. Not just features only. Not afraid to point out negatives = more views and trustworthiness. Keep up the good work!
Love the looks of the Pathfinder looks so much better. So glad has a 9 speed transmission instead of a CVT. The body looks slimmer and more stylish, love new exterior color Baja Storm a nice vehicle for the money.
For sure, I recently rented a few Nissan's for work and was impressed by the quality.
After doing 8-9 test drive of Mercedes, boxwagon, Tesla and Audi I think pathfinder platinum is worth the luxury compare to others …
Looks good
Wow guys!! That intro was awesome!!! Love this new style. Your reviews get better and better.
Thanks so much!
Excellent video!
Great new format👍🏼
Glad you like it! More to come!
Are the rear view mirrors dimming?
i love the new pathfinder. . i would buy the platinum if i had the money and not afraid of driving somthing so big cause im short and little in size😅. i drive a focus for my first car. trans is rough though
Very nice review! Happy 2023!!
Thanks! Same to you!
Very fresh interior design!
Does the Platinum Nissan package have a built-in trailer brake like other SUVs that have the towing package?
Nice review! You hit on all the good points of this PF, especially now that Nissan got rid of the CVT transmission. I own a 2022 Pathfinder Platinum. Kind of regret not getting the Palisade. This new PF isn't all that cracked up to be. 1. All the paneling seems flimsy, within the first two month of ownership the plastic trim above the headlight came off, the double sided tape used didn't hold anymore. Good thing it was still under warranty. 2. The side mirrors doesn't auto fold when you lock the car, it's a manual button you need to remember to press every time you get out of the car. (I also have a Kia Stinger and that options comes with the top of the line model GT2) Since the PF Platinum is the top of the line you would think it would have that feature as well. Also, there is no auto dim for the side mirrors either. Just the rear view mirror. In this day and age, with all the LED headlights coming from the back and front you would want the side mirrors to dim to keep from getting blinded. 3.The front passenger chair doesn't move up or down, just back and forth. This can be an annoyance if you are about 5'2 or shorter cause you will require a booster chair. 4. The brightness level of the dash is dim to super blinding bright. The dim I feel is a little too dim and it strains the eyes when looking and the bright is so bright it creates a almost halo affect around the dash. 5. Now it's nit picking, but why would Nissan put the steering wheel warmer on the passenger side? 6. The camera's are good but not intuitive, you would think putting it in reverse and then drive the camera would switch with the drive selected, nope. Imagine parallel parking your car, you throw it in reverse the camera comes on and then you put it in drive and you have to press the camera button to show the front view so you don' t hit the car in front or the curb and scratch up those rims 7. This one is a bit of a safety issue, the gas nozzle pops the handle like when the tank is full. Not all PF has this issue, it might be a limited to a batch, but every time I pump gas, to avoid the pop, there is a sweet spot on the gas handle that you have to hold to keep the gas flowing until it's actually full. We've mentioned it to Nissan and they just told me to hold it like I how I just explained it.
I wish I saw this review before I bought my 2023 pathfinder. I do like the suv, but some of your points are mine as well. Why is the steering wheel button on the other side?? Did they forget about it and that was the only spot left when they remembered? I traded in my Lexus for this and I do miss my 14 inch screen. I keep telling myself I did the trade to get more room and I definitely got that.
@@mk5224 I know how you feel. If I could go back, I would have gotten a Telluride or Palisade I think the new Honda Pilot is real nice.
@@terrorsz75 where I live, you can't find either without a six month wait unless you buy used. I think the Honda is in the same category. Whatever vehicle I buy, there is always something I wish was different. I would like to say I'm not picky but I am. I have a stressful job and I want to love what I drive to get to it. I don't see the harm in that....I do what I can to keep car dealers in business :)
I just drove home my new 2023 Pathfinder SL with the premium package.
Congrats on your new Pathfinder!
@@CarConfections Thanks
Excellent video of the 7 passenger Nissan Pathfinder!! Great job guys!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Question how many watts does the platinum trim come with
I like this review style. You guys should do more
Thank you! We are going to!
I think Nissan nailed it with the pathfinder. Love the fact that they went with a standard shift transmission rather then the CVT they have in the other vehicles which they have had issues with forever. Also give me the V6 without the turbo. Toyota really disappointed me by going to a 4 with the turbo. I will definitely be looking at the PathFinder as my first SUV. Probably the SL because I do not need all the extra electronic stuff on it.
Hey guys! Whats interesting is that ive been wondering when u guys would get a platinum for a while now 😅.
When are y'all going to do a review on the Honda Pilot
We are currently at 35,000 feet heading to drive one right now! 👍
Great review!
Thanks!
The 9-inch display could have used the real estate better by narrowing the side borders. If you are going to have that wide of a contraption, maimizing it would be neater.
I absolutely love the new changes to your video reviews, starting with this 2023 Nissan Pathfinder.
Glad to hear that! That means a lot coming from a long time viewer and fan!
@@CarConfections thanks so much Drew and Mason, it has been some time since I commented on any video on your channel. I watched your Pathfinder review and was immediately captivated by your new intro. As a subscriber it's truly awesome to see something different and fresh on your channel.
Like the Pathfinder, don’t care for the price hike of the ‘23 model though… these 3 row prices are getting out of hand.
I agree. Our local dealership said there was a $3500 “market adjustment” above MSRP and no negotiating.
They truly are. Let’s face it though, if someone thinks they need a third row, they need to reevaluate things. The true issue is that they have too many kids.
Great new format, hope you keep it. You guys were very accurate with your evaluation of the Pathfinder as I have a 22 Pathfinder Platinum and know how well you covered it. Love the improvements in your reporting.
Thank you, we appreciate it!
I like it that you guys don't edit out small hiccups in the review like when your phone was ringing. Seems more natural
Thank you! We like to keep it real with you guys 😆
Id take naturally aspirated over turbo anytime
nice new format. kinda bummed how you didnt show all that the adjustments of the digital dash though.
The Pathfinder is nice. A very big step from the last gen. The platinum model is also very good, however i do feel like they could’ve done more for 55 grand. I feel the same way about the highlander with some of its features on the platinum. The incandescent cabin lights aren’t it especially when u have vehicles cheaper than this with LED’s. The signals and reverse lights could be better, however its nothing to grudge about. But when u think about it and compare it to the palisade and telluride those do offer plenty more features at the same price. The X-pro on the telluride being 55k offers features that u made find on a 70k vehicle and the overall appearance of it would put any luxury SUV to shame. This looks more like a 47k vehicle than 55k 😬.
But, they are Hyundai and Kia vehicles. I will take Nissan's long history of safe, reliable, dependable and long-lasting vehicles over either of those two manufacturers - it's the Pathfinder for me. If the pathfinder hadn't been beautifully redesigned, I stillnwould never even consider palisade or telluride. I would pick Subaru Ascent, Toyota Highlander, even the Honda Pilot before rolling my dice on Kia or Hyundai. No thanks.
To add to what MsCm said Tellurides are overpriced, and good luck getting out of a kia Dealership anywhere near msrp. Hyundai Palisaides are ok but pretty large, but are again, hyundais.
@@mscm4592we went through two fully loaded Telluride SXP, had issues with both (different model years) Once you own one and can kind of peel back the onion, you'll find there are A TON of little things that are sub par about the vehicle. There's lots to love but the bad isn't worth the headache to get the good.
Just when we think it’s a conclusive decision then here comes the Honda 2023 Pilot off-road Trailsport.
Where is the spare tire or the tires are all run flat?
Just got a new 23 model, black on black we LOVE ❤️ IT!!!!
Congrats on your new Pilot!
Rock creek is just an appearance package😂
New pilot is far better👍
How does it stack up against the palisade?
Actually... if u use premium gas on any model, you get 295 horses as opposed to using regular gas which gives u 284.
A lot of these features are available on the SL with the premium package for people who don’t want to go up to platinum. The only thing you don’t get inside is cooled seats and the digital tach as well as no heads up display.
It looks so much better with the full blk roof treatment.
Can you guys review from bottom on the suspensions?
Would love to see a comparison between Honda Pilot and other equivalent models, would love a summary of ratings for each review area and model
Coming soon!
I was all about the Telluride and the Palisade, but with the theft issues of both brands I’m looking elsewhere. Plus, as time has gone on, I find both of these to be a bit smaller looking in real life, than I thought they look in clips I’ve seen online I currently drive a 2010 X-Terra. Now checking the Pathfinder and maybe the Pilot.
If you have the bench seat in the middle row, will that slide forward and back also like you did with the captains chairs?
Yes, it's connected to the seat on the left side 👍
If the rates would come down or Nissan offers 0%. I'm getting one. Have the '18 with 90K miles and I can contest to the seats being comfortable. The Bose will blow you out if you are not careful. It's going to be a toss-up between the '24 Passport and this. Really don't need the third row and the Honda 10 speed is smoother.
Cool car. Now when you get a scratch on the leather in all cars good luck with cost of repairs and all the digital displays. that's why i use manual cars and cloth interior and regular lights.
Pathfinder and Honda Pilot, they design a really nice car and then cheap-out with the small entertainment display. And that is a deal breaker for me. I sat in the Pathfinder and it was great, offers a ton. I'm a lifelong Honda owner, new Pilot looks very nice. Yet both of them build these $50,000+ vehicles and cheap out on the end. It will cost them a sale from me, I'll just go with original plan, Hyundai Palisade.
Very nice yes... but how does it go OFF ROAD?
This is one of the best looking SUVs on the market, and great value too for the money!
Yeah for sure, that Rock Creek model is at my local dealer for 40k, total bargain
Is it coming to the UK? Probably not is my guess.
Sir, where is the provision for spare wheel
Dope intro
Thanks!
New video style is pretty smooth
Thank you! It'll get even smoother in future videos!
I luv the new pathfinder
I wish my 2022 QX60 had fog lights like this one.
Hey guys, does the Pathfinder let in a lot of wind noise when cruising down the freeway? I've heard / read that the Telluride is quieter than the Pathfinder. Thoughts? Thanks for your valued time 👍🏼
Its pretty quiet in our testing. The Telluride is quieter however, but it's not a huge difference
What about hybrid model? Are the planning to have it soon by end of 2023 or next yeae?
We haven't heard of any plans for one, but hopefully they will!
Even though this engine is great, the explorer is better. In every category of the engine especially on that ST trim making basically 400 HP. One of the best V6’s in terms of power figures. However with that inline 6 cylinder coming in clutch with the new mazda cx-90 i can already see it being almost as good if better than the entire class even the explorer.
I owned an eco 6 cylinder in the explorer for 6 yrs, great performance. But when 70,000 miles hit and the timing belt slips(a recommended change at 75,000 miles) it tears up a lot of internal parts including a turbo charger. I just bought a 2023 pathfinder because of comfort, towing and a naturally aspirated v-6. The afore mentioned issues with the explorer is a problem with all of them apparently for the model year I owned. Don’t know if it’s been corrected in newer models or not, but wasn’t worth chancing again for me.
56.8 on yhe sound reading. What was the Telluride/Palisade resding?
www.carconfections.com/sound-level-readings
Very beautiful suv definitely better than Hyundai Kia and resell value is very good finally new transmission good job Nissan
Where does the spare go?
Since when are food coupons, 'bad boys?' Nice vehicle; thank you for review.
"the prop stick could be hot on a hot day" LOL..
Japan always made vehicles with nice transmissions and gear boxes
Hello, Congratulations Cool 👍👏👏👏
When is it's comming in India?
For SUV's a very useful measurement is can a 4' wide sheet of plywood or drywall lay flat in the back? The Armada is barely wide enough so I'm guessing the Pathfinder isn't.
Alex on Autos review does mention the width between wheel wells is just over 48 inches. That is one reason I picked the Pathfinder and I have already moved a few items that were 4 ft wide, like flooring for my basement.
@@b1riley1000 What year is yours? Good to know!
Can you please make comparison between Pathfinder Platinum & the new Honda Pilot elite 2023
Yes
When will you guys be testing the 2023 Honda Pilot?
We're on our way to test it out tomorrow!
I wish you guys would bring back your fuel tank capacity and driving range segment. Many reviewers neglect to mention it, especially on smaller cars.
Thanks for the suggestion!
The new format looks awesome! The old one will be missed however, for nostalgic reasons…
Thanks! Glad to hear that from a long time fan!
Are there parking sensors on the platinum model?
Yes, front and rear
The headlights look lile Curling Stone's. The top portion of the headlights look like the handle.
