2023 Nissan Pathfinder Rock Creek Is Better Suited to Finding Paths, Rocks, Creeks – Roadshow [CNET]

To be fair, this isn’t Nissan’s first Rock Creek-badged Pathfinder. But the new SUV — which debuts Sunday ahead of the New York Auto show — has a bit more in the way of meaningful upgrades that’ll make it better off road.

For starters, the Rock Creek has an 0.6-inch suspension lift compared to a standard Pathfinder, which isn’t that big of a deal, but will surely be helpful when combined with the standard 18-inch beadlock-style wheels and beefy 265/60R18 all-terrain tires. Nissan says the suspension has “unique Rock Creek off-road tuning,” though it uses a front strut and rear multilink setup like the base Pathfinder.
