Fitment questions

What years of Nissan Pathfinder rear tailgate will fit my R51 (2005–2013)?

The R51 Pathfinder ran from 2005 to 2013, and tailgates from within that generation share the same basic body structure, making them the most likely candidates to fit. However, there were running production changes during this long run, so whether a tailgate from an early R51 fits a later one without issue is worth confirming with the breaker against your registration. Always check the part against your VIN before purchasing.

Will a Pathfinder tailgate from a 2004 or earlier fit my 2006 model?

No — the earlier Pathfinder (R50 generation, up to 2004) and the R51 (from 2005 onwards) are entirely different platforms with completely different body pressings, so the tailgates are not interchangeable. You need to source a tailgate specifically from an R51 to suit a 2006 model. A good breaker will confirm compatibility against your registration.

Does trim level matter when sourcing a used Pathfinder rear tailgate — for example, does an S trim tailgate differ from a Tekna?

Trim level does not affect whether the tailgate will physically fit — the body pressing is the same across R51 variants including S, SE, and Tekna grades. What can differ is the glass, badging, wiper arrangement, or whether a rear wash-wipe motor is present, so bear in mind you may need to swap over your original components or buy additional parts. A breaker can advise on what ancillaries come with the unit they have.

Does it matter where on the R51 lifespan the tailgate comes from — did Nissan change the pressing mid-generation?

The R51 ran from 2005 to 2013 and is generally treated as one generation for fitment purposes. Whether Nissan made any pressing changes to the tailgate at any point during that run is not something that can be stated with certainty here, so this is exactly the kind of question to put to your breaker when you supply your registration number. A reputable dismantler will be able to check the specific part against your vehicle.

Will a Nissan Navara or Terrano tailgate fit a Pathfinder?

No — although these vehicles share some Nissan heritage, the Pathfinder R51, Navara, and Terrano are different vehicles with different body structures and rear arrangements, and their tailgates are not a straight swap. Always source a tailgate confirmed as coming from a Pathfinder of the matching R51 generation. Your breaker can verify this against your registration before you commit.

I need a Pathfinder tailgate but I'm not sure of my exact build date — will any R51 do?

The R51 generation (2005–2013) is your starting point, and in most cases tailgates from within this generation are the right family of part. Because mid-generation production changes can affect panel details and we cannot state with certainty every change Nissan made, the safest approach is to give your registration to the breaker so they can match the part precisely to your vehicle. Never assume a fit on year alone.
