fille9 Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 I am thinking about a beach permit to do some surfcasting mainly at Smiths Point. I think my Pathfinder is a bit too low to the ground for beach use. Looking for opinions... Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Baiter Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 What year? My sons 98 is great. Do a search, Pathfinders are well respected beach vehicles. There's lot of lower vehicles out and about my local beaches. I see this guy with a Honda Element all the time, no issues and I guarantee that's lower than yours.

fille9 Posted November 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 I had a Ford full size Bronco in the past 1988. It was higher than my Pathfinder and still I did bottom out and get stuck in the sand a few times.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take my 2003 4Runner out on the beach, and my clearance is no greater than yours. Air down your tires and you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket500 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 No problem with a Pathfinder off-road even though few are taken there. Its built on the same platform as a Nissan Frontier pickup and XTerra SUV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaks212 Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I have a 1998 Nissan Pathfinder, and taking it on the beach isn't a problem at all. Just make sure you air down on the soft stuff. I would invest into a MV1050 air compressor. Gas is decent on a on the Pathfinder. Better than the Wrangler and Jeep Cherokee Sport.

Frenchy1 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 I have an 05 Frontier crew cab. Basically the same thing as a Pathfinder but with a bed instead. I run the beach quite a bit with it and haven't had any problems with ground clearance. Don't sweat it. It'll be fine! Ryan19 years and still Proudly Serving!

silverking448 Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 I use my 2001 with zero issue. Â Paths get a bad rap on gas mileage. Can't compare apples and oranges. Paths are built on a truck frame and built for off-road. They are not some unibody thing made for suburban malls. Regardless some SUVs get a little better better gas mileage; some get worse. No 4 wheel drive SUV other than a hybrid gets close to anything that is respectable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
