While the Pathfinder/Terrano was essentially based on the newly introduced Hardbody truck, the rear five link coil suspension was borrowed from the Safari to enhance its off-road abilities. In Japan, it was exclusive to Nissan Bluebird Shop locations, where it was called the Terrano and served as a smaller companion to the larger Nissan Safari. In certain countries, this generation also came with a 2.7 L I4 Diesel Engine known as the TD27 with the option of a turbocharger installed later in November 1988. All WD21 Pathfinders were available in both 2WD and manually engaged 4WD configurations, with base models installed with a 2.4 L four cylinder engine. Its optional 4WD system that could be engaged electronically while the vehicle was moving was unique at the time. Built on a ladder-type frame, the Pathfinder was Nissan's response to the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco II, Jeep Cherokee, and non-American SUVs like the Toyota 4Runner, Honda Passport, and the Isuzu MU.īefore the Pathfinder there was the Nissan Bushmaster (an aftermarket conversion of the Datsun Truck). The first generation Pathfinder was introduced in 1985 as a two-door body-on-frame SUV, sharing styling and most components with the Nissan Hardbody Truck.
