Regds, Badar Dear @Badar Tariq the latest Pathfinder unfortunately has less than the minimum 8inch ground clearance as is required. The approach angle is also extremely low and not suitable for off-roading in dunes. 3 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

But i am not sure if this is the right forum to discuss the right choice of 4X4 vehicle for off road. My plan was to buy an old one with diff lock option, only for off road purpose. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
