Nissan Pathfinder was last redesigned for the 1999 model year, and even then represented an evolutionary rather than revolutionary change from the previous generation. Still, the Pathfinder remains winsome and efficient, with a square-jawed galoot look up front, emphasized by last year's new grille. Multi-parabola headlights give it a bit of a jeweled appearance.New alloy wheels add some freshness for 2003. SE has a step rail for climbing into and out of the truck, while LE has running boards. The tailgate lifts up from the bottom. A separate release allows just the rear window to open. This can be performed by pressing a button located on the inside door grip next to the fuel door release.
The outside door handles are small and dated in design. The spare tire is mounted underneath the rear of the chassis, better for interior space. The radio antenna is wrapped in swirled wire to reduce wind noise at speed. The roof rack has adjustable sliding tie-downs. SE comes with a unique titanium-colored roof rack with integrated air dam.
