If you're considering an Xterra because you're a genuine outdoors person, you're probably going to want to consider the four-wheel drive models. The Xterra is offered in rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations, including a special "Off-Road" model that has a beefed up suspension, engine and fuel tank skid plates and other enhancements.
If you're intent on getting an Xterra, be sure that it matches your needs. Take a close look at that back door – your passengers will definitely comment on it every time they have to get in and out.
The merits of the Xterra are many, and there's something to be said for rugged looks, truck heritage and refined road manners. It may not have "nothing you don't" need anymore, but the Xterra is a unique vehicle that's worth a look.
