I have found a 03 QX4.. Does this have the same engine as the Pathfinder.
I'm reading 3.5L 240 hp on the QX4..
Does both of these have this engine. I got to reading on how piss poor the
gas mileage is on the QX4.. Is it as bad on the 03 Pathfinder.
Somebody fill me in on engine/gas mileage... Did either come with a smaller
engine. I understand the 06 has 4.0L 270hp??
Also the QX4 is a rear wheel pull . Are all of them rear wheel pull.. I
thought hey were all front wheel.
educate me
Tks

It sounds like you were fed some bad information by someone. The QX4 is
identical to the Pathfinder in any given model year. Same engine, same
body, same options, etc. They are either rear wheel drive or four wheel
drive. Expect 16 to 19 MPG on one of these with 2 wheel drive and the 3.5
liter 240 HP engine. Mileage is less if you have 4WD.

I get 17-19 MPG with my 3.5L '01 PF, except when I tow my boat trailer.

This one is 03 with 32K, has both rear heated seats, GPS, just about
everything. I went to a Auction with a friend/small lot dealer.
I had pathy on my mind did not even know what a QX4 was until I saw this. I
have been reading up on this. I thought some pathys had a 160hp.
I bid 15K on this but seller did not sell. He wanted 17,200. Ends up my
friend knows of him and has bought his cars before.
I did offer $16,000. He came back 16,500 2 days later. This is for my
daughter, with 3 kids in college my money is real tight and I have it
figured to the penny what I can spend. Time I do Ins, giving my
friend/dealer $1,000. I was sure hoping he would take 16 and be done, I'm
just about to do the 16,500 though. So damn much car for the money. The
biggest turn off is it is 4x4. Hurts my gas . I thought all OX4 were 4x4.
Think a 02 pathy LE would be more in line for my money.
Thanks for everybody's feedback to set me straight

Another question might sound stupid but....
If you have 4x4 not locked in 4x4 does it mean it will not get as good
mileage as if it was 2x2 only?
Otherwords if its not locked in 4x4 it will get the same mileage as 2x2
only.

No, there is extra weight and parts spinning that wouldn't be in a 4x2.

All '03 PFs were the 3.5 liter motor, at least in the US.
Ditto for '02.
I think there were some '01s with the 3.2L pushrod motor (< 200 HP).
Everything before '01 was the 3.2L or 3.0L motor (I had a '95 3.2L and an '87 3.0L).
The 3.5L motor, at least in '01, was 240HP with the automatic, 250HP but
a bit less torque with the stick. Dunno about '02 and later.

FWIW, trucks are almost always RWD or AWD/4WD.

I own one now. My daughter don't know its coming. I now have to sell her 99
New Beetle with 100K miles.
Wife drove the QX4 when I brought it home and said she was keeping it. Wife
said it was to luxury for a 21 year old.
Now I might need to sell her 2000 Explorer.
WOMEN damn what do you do next.
This is a O3 32K miles has every thing you can think of. It has both power
seats. All four seats have seat warmer. It even has
GPS thing in it. I don't know what else it has.. I have a friend who is a
stealer I MEAN dealer, he took me to a sale. Dangest thing I ever seen
5 lanes of cars. Folks bidding took me bout a hour to fig out the lingo...
I picked my nose twice and bought a hummer once.. hehehe
I bought this one for 16,000
anyway thanks for all the information
Warren what else does this have? Do they all have the same features?

In that time frame ('02-'03), the QX4 came with all the features. On the
Pathfinders, the same features were available but as options. My '02
Pathfinder LE has virtually every feature available on the QX4 of the same
year (Nav, DVD movies, perforated leather seats, memory seat, 6 disk
changer, etc.). From inside the truck you can't tell them apart. The only
thing on the QX4 that was not also available on the Pathfinder in '02 was
the dash button to open the rear hatch window.
