2008 Nissan Pathfinder Gets Optional V8

Nissan North America has announced pricing and specifications on its 2008 Pathfinder, which went on sale this week. For the first time, the Pathfinder gets a V8, the Endurance 5.6-liter unit that is also found in Nissan's Titan pickup and Armada SUV. The standard 4.0-liter V6 continues.
The V8 makes 310 horsepower and 388 pound-feet of torque which, according to Nissan, makes it is "the most powerful V8 in its class." Maximum towing capacity with the big power plant is 7,000 pounds, 1,000 more than the V6 version of the Pathfinder.

Pricing on the 2008 Pathfinder ranges from $25,700 for the 4x2 with V6 to $32,850 for the 4x4 SE with the V8. The Pathfinder SE Off Road, available only with four-wheel drive and a V6 engine, is priced at $33,900.

Among the other attributes of the '08 Pathfinder are a rearview monitor system, Intelligent Key and a Bluetooth hands-free phone system. The SUV is also restyled inside and out, with new front and rear fascias and a restyled grille, a new instrument panel and the all-important revised cupholder design.
