Xterra "two thumbs up"

I've only owned this vehicle for about a month, but it didn't take long to realize this is a great vehicle. Test drove jeep grands, and 4 runners. I've have always driven Toyota's in the past, but they're too expensive. My advice is save your money and get the xterra, "everything you need and nothing you don't" pretty much sums it up, they're not fancy but they get the job done.

Great off road-- weak spots are exhaust muffler will leak top rear seam to destroy the wiring harness and whatever else the hot gases hit---check the u-joints frequently---do regular maintanence and things will go good

TOUGH VEHICLE

Great vehicle but i had a bad experience with the muffler developing a hole a the top back seam, which damaged the wiring harness to the wheel sensor and the right wheel seal. This cause d the need for a new 1/2 axle and sensor and wiring (not cheap). This was made worst because the heat shield above the muffler was not designed long enough to protect the wiring etc. I since have fabricated a longer heat shield.

Coming from a 350z I really enjoy being high up. I do notice a rattle in the driver door around the window, oh well it's not that bad.
