How's the unibody for off roading?

I have a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder SE off road trim and since it's a body on frame, you can understand why I'm asking about the new models. How do they do in off road conditions, especially compared with the older ones?

The latest Pathfinders come with a unibody design, which means they can manage light trails pretty well. However, they don't have the same level of articulation and durability as the older body-on-frame models when it comes to more demanding off-road conditions

I got a 2023 Pathfinder SL 4WD and used to drive a 2007 Off-Road trim, so I totally get the comparison. The new ones are unibody now, so they're not as rugged as the old body-on-frame models. That said, mine handles dirt roads and mild trails just fine.
