- Nissan is adding a Rock Creek model to the 2023 Pathfinder lineup.
- It comes with a suspension lift, all-terrain tires, and many visual tweaks.
- The Rock Creek will go on sale in the U.S. this summer.
Nissan is bringing back the Rock Creek trim for the Pathfinder, and the new generation of the mid-size SUV wears the rugged-looking modifications better than the old model did. Available for the 2023 Pathfinder, the package includes a suspension lift, different wheels and tires, a roof rack, and a few other styling differences inside and out.
The Rock Creek model’s front end has a different grille and front fascia, and Rock Creek badges adorn the front doors and tailgate. The 18-inch beadlock-style wheels are wrapped in Toyo Open Country All-Terrain tires. The suspension is lifted 0.6 inch and all-wheel drive is standard equipment. Nissan also says that revised fuel mapping means that the 3.5-liter V-6 makes an extra 11 horsepower and 11 pound-feet of torque when running on premium fuel, making for new totals of 295 hp and 270 pound-feet; Nissan says this upgrade is only for the Rock Creek, so other 2023 Pathfinder models will make do with the same 284 hp as before.
Inside, the Pathfinder Rock Creek has leatherette and fabric upholstery with embroidered Rock Creek logos on the seats, along with orange contrasting stitching throughout. It comes with second-row captain’s chairs, which are otherwise available only on the SL with the Premium package or the top Platinum trim.
Four two-tone exterior color schemes will be available, along with six monotone exterior colors. Nissan has yet to release pricing for the 2023 Pathfinder Rock Creek, but we reckon it will fit in somewhere between the AWD SL and Platinum models when it goes on sale during the summer.
