Since the Pathfinder has changed vocation, the only authentic all-terrain vehicle left in the Nissan family is the Xterra. With its body-on-frame construction, solid rear axle and off-road suspension, this vehicle appeals to active individuals. The interior was designed for intense usage and there is no shortage of storage compartments. The 261-hp 4.0L V6 can be ordered with either a 6-speed manual transmission or 5-speed automatic.
