Very interesting. 5/8" lift? :cautious: :unsure: :ROFLMAO: Wonder where the extra ponies come from and can we add those to our current motor?

That is interesting. I do like the look of those 18" wheels. Premium fuel at $5/gal though? No thanks for the extra 10 ponies.

Just big enough for some extra meat on the tires! I can already smell the body-on-frame trolls coming out of the woodwork to hate on it but I think it could give the Outback wilderness some competition.

Not quite there from a ground clearance perspective - Pathfinder Rock Creek = 7.1 + 0.6 = 7.7" whereas the Forester/Outback Wilderness is up at 9.2". Still a ways off from being a decent off road ground clearance but I'll take any improvement they can make!

Wish they would have made a 2023 Pathfinder Rockcreek Pro 4X with a 9.5 ground clearance.

You get the black grill there is at least 1 thread that discusses it. The grill just doesn't have the silver outlined vents at the top.

Yeah I’ve seen that one but really think that RC grille would complement the platinum bumper!

Curious if the Nismo prototype 2" lift and body armor will ever be available to the public for the Rock Creek.

I would love the 2" lift. Really was considering trading our 22 SV in for the 23 Rock Creek, but I just don't know if I can honestly justify the larger car payment. The 4WD, rims, and roof rack, plus the body kit looks super clean.....but man that miniscule of a lift backs me off a little bit. They say "every inch counts"......but this doesn't even give you that inch lol

Maybe "aftermarket" will provide us with something similar to the 2" (hope so)...

I'm awaiting my local dealership to receive a new '23 RC in Gun Metallic but I'm (already) lamenting the fact that RC's don't have the Bose Sound System, Power Liftgate, and the Auto-Dimming Rearview Mirror. I don't want or need a moonroof, "real" leather seats, 20" rims/tires, or any other specific additions the SL and Platinum offer, so... the RC it is for me then. I'm keeping the '15 PRO-4X for the real off-road & outdoor stuff, and we've got a '19 Rogue AWD for everyday use.

I added the auto dimming mirror to mine. Pretty cheap and definitely easy to DIY. The Bose system is 100% not worth it. Yes it’s better than the factory system, but for $500 you can make the stock system sound great through Crutchfield and it will be pretty straight forward (just by upgrading the Main speakers). The power lift gate is the next item I will source, if I come across the parts for the right price but definitely not a deal breaker. Other than that the passenger seat needs the 6-way power adjustment rails and power from an SL or platinum as the stock height is ridiculously low.
I too have a Pro4X Titan for anything serious off-roading. You ever on TitanTalk?

And THIS is why I dive in to these forums, be it for great discussion on various topics OR for well needed "sanity checks". Many Thanks for the insight!

I'm on the 2nd Gen Xterra forum every now and then, but I'll be on this particular forum a lot more moving forward.

How/Where did you get the power/harness to install the auto-dimming mirror on a RC?

I bought the mirror from a member on here. Came with the 2 wire harness that came with his framless mirror. Bought the accessory add wiring harness from Nissan for $13 that plugs in under the dash. Ran an additional wire from the new mirror to the harness with the 2 wire harness for the HomeLink and auto dim feature to work properly.

Part numbers, if possible, please. THX

(FYI, I'm out in the field with very limited bandwidth/connectivity and internet data; lucky to be even here on forum now)

This is the part number for the accessory harness. Plugs in under the driver side kickpanel.

I don’t have part number for the wiring that goes from the mirror to this harness as I believe the only way to get the wiring is by ordering either an auto dimming mirror OR one of the frameless mirrors.

I don't have the means to check and verify, but I'm being told that Canadian '23 Rock Creek's have (additional) features that U.S. '23 Rock Creek's don't have. Things like the upgraded rearview mirror and power liftgate as examples...

Knowing my luck, when the 2024 Pathfinders are released they'll probably have "Rock Creek" options for most trims... (Lol)
