2000 Pathfinder owner here. Wouldn't give it up for anything. Doesn't have the larger engine and I'm glad. It has plenty enough power for the backroad 4x4 trails I fish at and does excellent in the snow. No need for less gas milage the large engine offers. (I don't tow)

The 4 runners are very nice too, although the only reason I could find for choosing it over the Pathfinder is if you plan on after-market modifications. The Toyotas have 10-fold more modifications available and, as a result, there are far (far) more replacement parts, service locations and the likes for the Toyota.
