Wife had an Acadia and has a traverse now. It’s 3 years old and only problem was a battery so far. The battery is under the passenger back seat floorboard
I drive it often and it’s a smooth ride and tops out at about 120ish

Never drove a pathfinder but I did have a rental Nissan Frontier and recently. If the frontier is anywhere close to the frontier, it’d be hard to choose, for me anyways. I was impressed with the handling of the Nissan.

3rd row seats are pointless unless you’re a child.

Frontier is totally different.

Pathfinder is actually a unibody altma 4wd w ground clearance.

I was just in the market for my wife the same.

I had the list narrowed down to the Audi Q7 and an Acura MDX

I say that because the pilot is similar to the MDX and the Atlas is similar to the Q7

I will also say that she had an MDX prior (my daughter is getting the old car).
After driving both she much preferred the Q7. We got a pretty good bit off the MSRP which really sealed the deal for us. It was pretty close to the MDX.

I'm in the same boat except add in the Subaru Ascent
She's favoring the Atlas and the Ascent

I like the Telluride, and i've seen posters on here liking it already. The wife just can't get over the idea of it being a Kia.

Same boat. My wife is wanting a new car and the Ascent and Atlas are topping the list. I keep pushing saving some money and size and get the Forester, but she "needs" a third row.

My wife wanted a third row also but wanted a mid size suv, so we settled on an Infiniti QX60. Best decision so far, the car has great pickup for it's size and has tons of bells and whistles.

Same with my wife. She won't give me any reason why she doesn't like it other than it's a Kia.

Volvo XC90 is the best one on the road. Don't think they have a tow package though. Subaru would be my next choice or Toyota 4 runner would be my next choice.

Toyota Land Cruiser

Or, if you're on a "budget" - Toyota Sequoia.
