"Rear view on the Pathfinder is ok with second row seats up and third row
folded down flat. Â*Rear view gets obstructed through with third row up
and their headrests up.

I didn't notice on the Highlander that I tried if the backup camera
showed a "predictive" course when backing up. Â*The one in the Pathfinder
does ... meaning as you back up there is a outlined box that moves as
you turn the steering wheel indicating were you are moving towards as
well as additional cameras that show the front corners as well. Â*Pretty
much gives you an all around view of the vehicle. Â*It has an 8 inch
display screen, so it's pretty easy to see everything. Â*It also has a
"sonar" system warning that lets you now if you are going to hit anything.

Reminds me of flying lessons when you have to rely totally on
instruments rather than an actual view. Â*:-)

BTW, the Highlander was nice. Â*I think it had a softer ride than the
Pathfinder which is a bit more stiff. Â*I just preferred the Nissan overall."



Consumers Reports has the Highlander at the top of the mid size SUV pack most years
Rated tops for reliability which is important to me as I hope to get 12 years out of it.
My Basic PLUS model (I have 4WD and the 3.5 engine) has the plain small backup camera. No guide lines.
The higher end Highlanders came with a bigger screen and I believe the guide lines.
The softer tide is great for most of my driving but I don't like it on a twisty turny road. Feels a little top heavy.
