I needed a small tow vehicle with a frame. For towing a small boat or small camper. I love this little truck...!!!

Old-school real SUV at a great value

My review says it all. I had a 2019 4Runner and 19 GX460 in the stable for the past few years and loved them both. Lets just be honest... they are the kings of quality and resale value. Now back to business. I realized I could get a 70k low mileage Xterra model S for half, if not 1/3 of the Toyota similar model. The truth though is the Xterra just is a lot funner to drive. It's slightly smaller, but feels much more nimble. It's still solid and well built, so a long highway trip at 80 mph is no issue. I have the S model and it could easily go beyond the GX and keep up with the 4Runner TRD. This was a great year for the Xterra and you can easily get 250k miles out of this engine and even transmission. The earlier models 2010 and below had serious automatic transmission problems. They also had timing chain related issues from poor quality parts on earlier ones. But 2012 worked all the issues out of it and was at it's best this year. The storage compartments are much better. But the interior is very basic, easy to clean, and decent comfort. The 4Runner and obviously GX are a lot nicer interiors but the Xterra interior is also built to last.

Purchased to replace my 2004 Discovery. Only good thing I can say about is it looks cool. Worst handling in snow I've ever experienced. Nissan dealership in Aurora, Co was overpriced. Definitely got ripped off on this certified POS. Do yourself a favor and spend the money to get a 4Runner. Interior is uncomfortable, seats feel cheap and flat, lots of creeks and vibrations from parts that sound like they're about to fail, but are certified "good" by mechanic. Absolute worst vehicle I have ever owned. Will never consider a Nissan again.

Mine has been pretty much perfect ever since I got it and it’s great to get on gravel roads with steep hills to get to certain hiking trails I love.
