Welcome.

1st you have to decide what you plan to do with your Pathfinder. I personally never look at a 2wd. 4x4 only for me. 2nd those are 2 different body styles. Have you decided which style you like better. This club has the body styles in different sections, you might go look in both areas and see which style better fits you.

I second mar1. But seriously the only thing I regret about my pathfinder is the lack of 4wd. I should have looked for one but insurance goes through the roof out here in Hawaii too many Crawler holes here.

If it's just a grocery go-getter and commuter car, then the 2x2 would be fine. I would think you'd get a little better mileage too. But if you live in snow country or go camping or driving down dirt or gravel roads, then a 4x4 would be good. I would probably just go for the 4x4 because you never know when you'll need it.
