Off-Road Performance
While the Rock Creek is designed with off-road enthusiasts in mind, it's important to note that it is still a unibody crossover. The enhancements, such as the suspension lift and all-terrain tires, provide improved capability for light off-road adventures. However, it may not match the performance of traditional body-on-frame SUVs in extreme off-road conditions.

Nissan Pathfinder SL. Purchased the car July 2021 when they first came out. I love everything about this car. I have not had any issues to date. Just went thru a snow storm with about 7inches of ice and snow. I am on a pretty steep hill and zero issues in the snow and ice. I really can't think of an issue i have with this car. I have taken this on 9 hour trip with a total of seven and had no issues in the mountains.… - 5.0
