DESIGNED TO KEEP UP WITH
YOUR LIFESTYLE...
Based on our acclaimed Frontier pickup, the Xterra is designed to keep up with your lifestyle, and keep going as long as you do. The Xterra's performance features include:
Power: The 170-hp 3.3-liter V6 lets you tow up to 5,000 pounds, thanks to 200 ft-lbs of torque, 90% of which is generated at a mere 1,500 rpm. Don't need that much engine? The 4-cylinder is no slacker - it delivers 143 horses and 154 ft-lbs of torque, and can tow up to 3,500 pounds.
Traction: Choose between traction-enhancing 4WD or economical 2WD. Either way, your Xterra rides on road-gripping, 235/75R15 all-season tires with standard anti-lock brakes. Larger 265 tires and Limited Slip are available.
Suspension: All Xterras feature an agile yet sturdy double wishbone front with stabilizer bar, and solid axle rear with leaf spring and stabilizer bar. The ground clearance ranges from 8.7 inches on the 4x2 4-cylinder Xterra to 9.2 inches on the 4x2 V6 Xterra.
Durability: The body-on-frame design features a full-length, steel-reinforced ladder frame that provides rugged strength and a resilient backbone for towing and hauling. Nissan's unique DURASTEEL® body panels offer superior corrosion protection. And the 4-cylinder engine incorporates a maintenance-free timing chain.
There's more to cargo carrying than muscle. In addition to the power you need, the Xterra features several ways to store, secure, haul and hold:Three Accessory Bike Racks: Secure up to six rides -- two each on the roof, hitch, or best yet, the interior. The interior rack from the minds at Yakima® keeps 2 bikes upright inside the cabin, safe from low clearances, tailgaters and anyone with bike envy.
Heavy Duty Tubular Roof Rack: Constructed from the same aluminum used in competition-caliber mountain bikes, the roof rack features aerodynamic, adjustable cross bars and a range of accessory attachments custom-designed by Yakima® to let you configure the most complex loads.
Removable Roof Rack Storage Basket: Stash loose or wet gear, with cut-outs to let the water drain out.
Tailgate Storage Compartment: This convenient space keeps a removable first aid kit readily accessible.
10 Tie-Down Hooks: Hang and secure your gear on the cargo area ceiling and floor boards.
50/50 Split Fold-Down Rear Seat: When the roof rack is full, just fold back a seat for longer items.
