The Nissan Pathfinder debuted for the 1987 model year as a rugged 2-door SUV built on Nissan's Hardbody truck frame. It directly challenged competitors like the Toyota 4Runner with its distinctive styling, including the triangular rear side windows. A 4-door model joined the lineup in 1990, but the first-generation (WD21) body-on-frame models remain the most significant for collectors.
Enthusiasts seek out the early Pathfinders for their simple, durable construction and genuine off-road credentials. The 2-door variants are especially prized for their classic 80s SUV aesthetic. Unlike later unibody generations, these early models offer a direct connection to the analog, truck-based roots of the segment, making them a popular platform for off-road builds.
The market for collector-grade Pathfinders is growing, with top-condition, low-mileage WD21s selling for over $37,000. However, the average sale price of $10,367 reflects a market dominated by later-generation models used as daily transportation. Clean, original first-generation examples are becoming harder to find and represent the top of the market.
Prices range from $405 for project vehicles to $37,251 for pristine, collector-grade examples.
