Prado Vs Pathfinder
Last Updated: 05 February 2010

I put this page up so that you can compare the Landcruiser Prado to the Nissan Pathfinder or Terrano. The Pathfinder is supposed to be a direct competitor but somehow aren't compared very often.  The only reason I can work out is because its priced below equivalent Prado models.

These two are very different in the flesh.  The Pathfinder feels cheaper if you must know my opinion.

Of course technical similarities do not always mean that superior specifications means better performance.  Real life experience with both models are needed to judge properly.

The Nissan Pathfinder has been available in its current model R51 model cycle since 2005.  There are many different versions offered in lots of countries.

Note that specifications will change according to the trim models available and additional or less accessories. You should check the official Nissan website for your country for the most up to date information.
