From what I am reading this seems to be an issue with models between 2005-2010 model year. Can someone tell me what Nissan changed after the 2010 model year to solve this issue? Also shame on them for handling this so poorly and not solving this much sooner. You can't tell me that Nissan did not fig...

From what I gather the S will need the stock control for the switch. So that would need to be changed the ? Is are the wires there and if so could a dash switch be wired in and used instead of replacing the entire light stock on the steering wheel?

I had a 2006 4Runner with 170,000 trouble free miles and I really did not want to get rid of it but it was getting tired. I pull a 4,300l lb 23ft camper a few times a year so I needed something to pull that. I looked at a new 4Runner but I did not want the big payment and also for 2014 the 4Runner t...

I often wonder just how bad that is for the engine when I was learning how to drive stick I can recall my father saying "don't bog it! Down shift". My old Volvo had a button on the auto you could choose between economy and sport mode and our PF is just like the economy setting. On the Volv...

Not happy with gearing

I have noticed on my 2012 PF that it is always trying to look for the tallest gear. I had the same issue with my 2006 Toy 4Runner if you get stuck behind someone driving slow on a slight grade it can be annoying as I feel like I'm bogging the V6. With my 4Runner I would often drop it into 4th gear a...

R51 frame?

Do the R51 PF, Frontier, Armada, & Titan truck all share the same frame just longer or shorter depending on application?

Mud/splsh guards

My 2012 "S" model PF did not come with and splash/mud guards in the wheel wells I would like to add them although I don't see them listed as an accessory from Nissan? Should I even try to find factory fit splash guards or just find some aftermarket models?

Aftermarket fog lights

I have a 2012 PF "S" model so it did not come with fogs and with the driving I do in all weather I really need them. I have noticed some here have added oval or square fog/driving lights to the front lower grill area and this seems like a good idea for me. For one I'm not crazy about the c...

I did a lot of research on that vibration when I first got mine and I think the verdict was a poorly designed engine mount insulator. That's the flexible part of the engine mount that allows the engine to flex/rotate and absorbs vibrations. While it does a good job at the former, it sucks with the ...

Vibs at idle

I have had my 2012 V6 Path for about 3 weeks now and it has aprox 7,600 miles I have noticed that say at a stop after a few seconds at idle it has a vibration that will go away if I just rest my foot on the gas to bring up the rpm only like 100 or so. Is this vibration common with the PF? And if not...

Radiator issue resolve?

From the info on this site as well as others it seems the radiator/trans issue was resolved with the 2010 model year. Does anyone know what Nissan did to resolve this issue? New radiator design maybe? Or trans fluid line relocation?

Rear area cover

With my old Toyota 4Runner I had a cover for the back area that retracted so no one could see your stuff. I now have a 2012 PF and I was wondering if it's possible to get one for the PF? Was it ever offered as an option?
