Dang Chris, you have the luck. :crazy:

Was a cow driving that van? :p

Hope you are not too sore, still hurting here after three weeks from my ski crash.
To answer your question ?

Ouch!

Time to find a 2011-2015 Nissan Frontier or Xterra.

I see you're going to look at a 2012 Frontier.

Take note of the turning radius as it's YUUUGE.

The Xterra turns much shorter due to the wheelbase.

If I didn't have my Jeep I'd have an Xterra Pro4X with the 6 speed.

Based on your luck with vehicles, maybe look into a 1966 Buick Wildcat with oak 2x8 bumpers front and rear. ?
My ex mother in law just traded her 2015 xterra with 110,000 miles in on a kia soul. It was getting too hard for her to get in and out. Wish i had known she was dumping it.

I had a 2016 and I can promise you that I remembered that oh so lovely turning radius bigger than a tractor trailer
My 2003 Maxima SE was a great car, but the turning radius was terrible. Must be a Nissan thing!

Well today definitely marks some kind of bad luck of sorts.

After two and a half years of having it The 93 Pathfinder is officially toast. As I was heading home from lunch I ended up getting hit by a f****** Dodge caravan minivan that I believe tried to beat the light and order to make a left turn hit one other car and then ran straight into my Pathfinder. Other drivers were not able to get their story straight and therefore the police are currently having to get video footage From the intersection that the accident took place. This all happened right after I ended up getting a green light and started to accelerate with one person in front of me. Once everything's figured out on who's at fault I will be working with my insurance to fight this to get as much as I can back since I put a lot of money into this vehicle. It was certainly a fun adventure vehicle that I found to be well worth having since it was very capable.

That said I am already looking at some other vehicles and will hopefully have an answer on what they might have in a few weeks

Had an 1988 XE and 1992 XE.Drove them north of 250,000 miles.They were solid vehicles.My only issue was the exhaust manifold bolts would snap after 60,000 miles or so.Sorry to see.GL

This particular one had over 300,000 on it and of course had the manifold stud broken problem. I already had a fix for that with another engine lol

Retired, work is a four letter word.
Hope you feel better at some point soon, this is my worst nightmare, that some dingbat will pull out right in front of me, why if I am the 1st in line at an intersection I wait a few seconds before I jump on it, lesson learned when on my M/C.

Really sorry this happened to you and your rig. With all the red light running and passing on the right, it's a whole new game out there. I had a bad collision in 1994 in a new Taurus and it gave me PTSD for about three months. The car that hit me ricocheted off a small pickup in the center divider lane next to me and all I saw was a flash of light in my peripheral vision before the airbag went off and knocked me out. The air bags in those days were no joke, the whole interior was full of acrid purple smoke (iodine based?) when I came to several seconds later.
 

Friday yet?

Really sucks. I've always been a fan of that generation Pathfinder. Hope the soreness is somewhat dissipating. Good luck with the vehicle search.

Well after taking a look at it today I will be taking a 2012 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X home. It is loaded with things I want. The only things it doesn't have is a GPS(got that covered) and a Backup Camera(not hard to fix). I guess it doesn't have Remote Start either, but that will change quickly!
