I have an '02 Pathfinder SE. I love the vehicle but the ride is pretty harsh. I know the SE is designed to have a stiffer ride, but is there anything I can do to soften it?

 

Nissans are notorious for a harsh ride. Your best bet is to do what i did and replace the Stock tires with a much better riding Michelin Cross Terrain tire. You will notice an immediate improvement. These tires are not cheap but They ride so much softer and quieter.
