2005 Nissan Pathfinder Road Test

When Nissan introduced its full-size Pathfinder Armada last year, a general concern spread over those faithful to the venerable midsize Pathfinder. Would this Chevy Tahoe, Ford Expedition competitor replace their favorite SUV? While it was initially confusing for Nissan to attach the Pathfinder name to their new full-size sport utility, which was recently simply renamed the Armada, it's hard to blame the Japanese brand's marketers for trying to associate something all-new with an SUV as legendary as the Pathfinder.
