Pathfinder’s 3rd Generation
“At the 2004 North American International Auto Show, Nissan unveiled a completely redesigned Pathfinder for the 2005 model year. The new Pathfinder uses the Nissan F-Alpha platform, and is powered by a 4.0 L V6 engine VQ40DE (270 hp, 291 ft•lbf). A 2.5 L l4 YD25DDTi (174 hp, 297 ft•lbf/403 N•m) Turbo Diesel is also available in Europe and other markets.
Until 2005, most Pathfinders were built in Japan, before shifting production to Smyrna, Tennessee. In late 2003, a full-size SUV, the Pathfinder Armada, debuted. Although they share a common name, they have little similarity and use different platforms. The "Pathfinder" prefix was dropped for 2005, leaving just the name "Armada". The Pathfinder is sold as the Terrano in many markets outside of North America. In 2005, a redesigned Pathfinder was released and the Pathfinder name became international as it sold worldwide. These were the first to be sold in the UK."
