The new Pathfinder will join the Armada, as well as Nissan's full-size Titan and midsize Frontier pickups at its plant in Smyrna, Tennessee. Nissan's Decherd, Tennessee engine facility, situated nearby, will supply the engines.

With the all-new 2005 Pathfinder, Nissan has once again upped the ante in the midsize 4x4-capable SUV class, and simultaneously recharged the longstanding Pathfinder vs. 4Runner feud.
