Bought it with 28000 miles in 2003....385k today! It’s been a great vehicle and still has a great interior ( I added leather seats) and paint is ok, but fading. Not a speck of rust and the bottom looks like new! ( Florida Car). Sadly she’s probably on her last legs, my rebuilt transmission( replaced at 225k) is slipping and suspension parts are failing! Engine still runs great, but leaks oil and it’s probably time to move on! Update:Doing some detail work. Added a few miles since the last update. I don’t drive as much as I used to and I have a Mustang convertible as my primary driver. I continue to keep her as I guess she has no trade-in value😂 and because I can’t bring myself to give her away and she still does everything I need! Great in the rain, hauling landscaping supplies etc.2024 Update: still can’t bring myself to sell her! Nothing new to report added another 500 miles or so.

I've owned the Xterra for over 5 years at this point, bought it when it had 30,000mi. The odometer just passed the 130,000mi mark and the vehicle is still in outstanding shape. The only oddball thing I've had to replace is a bearing that supports the two-piece drive shaft, but I blame it on all the mud and water I've intentionally not avoided. I couldn't afford the insurance for 4WD when I bought it, but I certainly don't regret going with the 2WD- I've pushed this vehicle to the limit consistently on and off road, irresponsibly run the RPM's above 4K daily just to listen to the aftermarket parts work, and still, with typical maintenance (oil changes, trans flush), the X still runs strong.

I test drove many SUV's before settling on my Xterra. It out-performed everything in its class. I too believe the seats get a bad rap - I think they're plenty comfortable. I bought my wife a Pathfinder, but I prefer my Xterra.

The xterra is a solid vehicle. It's reliable and provides some off-road capabilities. The V-6 is notorious for oil leaks from the valve gaskets so be careful, maintenance costs will be higher since it's an SUV and the gas mileage isn't good. Other than that it's a good vechicle for the right price.

With only 4000 miles on the vehicle, I drove it to Northern Quebec from Augusta Georgia, towing a 4000 pound trailer. The vehicle never had a problem. Towed the trailer, kept up with traffic. Gas mileage was only 10.0 mpg, but what do you expect when dragging a barn down the highway at 70 mph?
