Hello my friend
Iused to have explorer but i sold one year ago a really faced many problems .
first is is not a desert car , so the 4x4 system is so week on sand and it was shutting down each time i go to the dunes .
second the spare parts here are so expensive so i used to buy the parts from UAE whitch takes time
the only advantge for explorer that is a very relaiable car in the city.
Now pathfinder 2001,2002,2003,2004 are very good cars and i have 2001 and i vever enterd a carge until now thank god
and afcourse it easy to find spare parts out of the company for nissan and rearly you can find for Ford from my experiance
but if you are talking about the new one , it is the best without making comparison with any car in its class belive me .
my father has Armada ( the big pathfinder ) and you realy feel like you are in a fast monster.
