Nissan Profile: Pathfinder

As a Nissan dealership in Arizona, our team eats, sleeps, and breathes all things Nissan. We are proud to have a charging station at our dealership for the Nissan Leaf, we get excited about 370Z, and we get really excited about the GT-R.

But today, we’re highlighting a Nissan favorite—the 2014 Nissan Pathfinder. Here are a few of the new details that have people buzzing…

You can go 30% farther on a tank of gas thanks to an improved transmission, more aerodynamic styling, and the fact that Nissan dropped 500lbs in vehicle weight on the new Pathfinder.

Room for 7 people, 80 cubic feet of cargo space, with the rugged, high-performance interior that you’ve come to expect from the Pathfinder.

Around View Monitor™ to get a 360-degree, birds-eye view of your surroundings gives you so much more than your average back up camera.

Advanced protection systems that include dual-stage supplemental airbags, along with side-impact airbags that move with you and adjust to your seating position.

The Pathfinder is available as a V6 or as a supercharged hybrid—one of the few hybrid vehicles that offers seating for 7.

The V6 Pathfinder is one of the most fuel-efficient crossovers available…
· MPG Estimates: City 20 MPG, Highway 26 MPG

The Hybrid Pathfinder offers great fuel mileage…
· MPG Estimates: City 25 MPG, Highway 28 MPG

A few of our favorite features…
· Bluetooth connectivity
· Keyless entry and ignition
· 7-inch Touchscreen audio display
· Heated mirrors (nice to have if your road trip takes you outside of Arizona)
· Bose audio speakers
· 360 degree parking camera

Low Tire Pressure Warning Light

One of the more commonly asked questions we get here in our service department is about a little light on the dash. If you aren't familiar with this light, it can look pretty ominous. Don't worry, it is only the Low Tire Pressure Warning Light. Tire pressure is an important piece of the performance puzzle and if you don't pay attention to it you can have some serious consequences.

"If tire pressure is too high, then less of the tire touches the ground. As a consequence, your car will bounce around on the road. And when your tires are bouncing instead of firmly planted on the road, traction suffers and so do your stopping distances. You'll also feel a decrease in ride comfort. (Hint: If you notice that every tie you own has coffee on it, check your tire pressure. It may be too high.)If tire pressure is too low, then too much of the tire's surface area touches the ground, which increases friction between the road and the tire. As a result, not only will your tires wear prematurely, but they also could overheat. Overheating can lead to tread separation — and a nasty accident. One sign of low tire pressure is if your tires squeal when cornering.And you need to check your tire pressure even if your tires aren't leaking. Why? Because tire pressure also changes with the temperature outside. Tire pressure decreases by about 1 pound per square inch for every 10-degree drop in outside air temperature. So if you last had your tire pressure checked in July, when it was 80 degrees outside, and it's now January — and the temperature is minus 20 — your tires may be underinflated by 10 pounds, which is dangerous." - CarTalk.com

Why The Best Family Vehicle Is A Truck

Truck commercials since the beginning have depicted feats of strength, power, and ability. We flip through any given channel during a football game to catch glimpses of strong guys dropping heavy objects into truck beds. Payloads, all-wheel-drive, and capacity are a few of the many key words that we throw around. But, one thing we constantly forget to mention is that the truck, specifically the Nissan Titan, is one of the best family vehicles out on the market.

Why?

Well, first of all what is family? It is a unit of people who depend on each other. What does a truck allow you to do? It allows you to be there for people. You can help your family move into a new home. You can tow your trailer up to your favorite camping ground to spend quality time together. You can bring home everything you need to put in a new yard and teach your children the importance of work. The list of reasons is almost endless. The thing is; all the reasons come back to what you can do. Not what you can't.

So pile in to the Titan for your next family road trip. You will find out what we already know, that it is comfortable, spacious, and allows your family an experience. Not just a drive.

Need a few more reasons? 

The 168° Wide Open rear doors on Titan King Cab make entering or loading the cabin a snap. And with no B-pillar to get in the way – plus a fold-up rear bench seat – your cargo flexibility is as wide open as your doors.

Here, you'll find more of what you buy a Crew Cab for. And that's space in all the right places, with more front and rear leg room than the Chevy Silverado, or Dodge Ram [*]. Because when it comes to space, the Titan Crew Cab is one full-size truck that truly lives up to its name.

Nissan Altima Intelligent Key With Remote Start

The Nissan Altima is packed with little features that make life easier. Here at Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa we are proud to be a part of such a great brand. One of the little details we want to focus on today is the Intelligent Key with Remote Start. 

The website states that "the Nissan Intelligent Key lets you tap a button on the door handle or trunk to unlock them while your keys stay in your pocket or purse. And the available Remote Engine Start System [*] lets you warm up or cool down your Altima before you get in."

Here is a little video we made at the dealership to demonstrate the key. Take a look and them come in and see us some time for a test drive!
