Hey folks, I am a new member and a new owner of a 2007 Xterra. I bought it at the end of July and so far I love it. It has gone everywhere I want it to go. I...
Hi Folks, Just wondering if anyone would mind sharing towing experiences (good or bad) that they have had (especially with a 2006 Xterra manual transmission). ...
Tim, Word of warning: My 2001 4X4 5 Speed is only rated at 3500 lb. Did it change since then? Double - check your manual. No experience with that heavy a...
I've got an '01 4X4 5 speed. I have a 17ft boat that probably weighs less than 2000 lbs and my X pulls it no problem. I live in Utah and pull up some pretty...
Hi, I have a 2002 xterra and tow just about every day. I have a smaller backpacker type trailer rated to about 750lbs, which i use for tools and a larger...
In my experience, trying to tow a 4000lb travel trailer here in Pa it just didn't work. For my own piece of mind I installed all synthetic fluids and an ...
Thanks everyone for your input - it is sounding like the Xterra may not be the best choice for the trailer I am thinking of pulling. Good to know ahead of...
Tim, I recently towed a UHaul 12x16 double axle trailer with my '03 Xterra (automatic) and it wasn't too bad. I couldn't do more than 55 before the trailer...
By swaying, I'm assuming that you mean fish-tailing. Fish tailing is caused by more weight being distributed to the points behind the axle of the trailer. Try...
Tim, I occasionally tow my Scout trailer (about #3500) with my '03 automatic. I had to install electric brakes control, without, it was just too difficult to...
Hi all. I've had my 06 X 4x2 AT since Feb and I'm lovin' it. Perfect for Central Texas geocaching and commuting. The only things I've noticed are the hood...
I am looking at buying a 2002 or 2003 Xterra and am wondering if there are any known mechanical issues to look for for those years (and lets say around 60,000...
1. Look to purchase the popular supercharged models, the older models with the whimpy 3.3 motor use alot of gas and pound for pound just dont cut it. 2. Think...
Say what? The SC models don't really have that much oomph vs. the non-supercharged models, really not worth it if you ask me, and there have been more than a...
Yup, the book gives a nice little jump. The 3.3 alone just doesnt cut the mustard unless you do lots of engine work, slap the off road headers on and go...
Most Xterras have the LSD. All SE models do, and the XE models had it if they had the Sport package which included the front tow hook and fog lights. You can...
I would advise against a brush guard, they're useless and often compound damage in a collision beyond the area that was directly impacted when they bend back...
... Actually the 180hp 3.3 works just fine for me. I've pulled the same uHaul someone else mentioned (the dual axle one), and I regularly pull a trailer with...
The 05 xterra 4.0 liter engines known issues are Timing chains, front end, intake air leaks, fuel gauage issues/sendunit. if need more details please send me...
Wow, I ahd no idea there were that many issues with the first year of that new motor. I kept my research to the 3.3 motor and 2002 chassis when debating...
All, I'm installing a Rockford Fosgate 1694C 6x9 in the rear passenger spot. It's a 2003 and appears to have been replaced prior to me owning...there's...
Does anyone know if this exists. A cargoliner for a 2005 X, that has wraps up the back of the backseat, and when you lay the seats down it would protect the...
Hi, I had been looking for that type of liner and am afraid it probably doesnt exist w/o customizing some other setup. The aftermarket vendors and designers...
My X has about 70,000 miles on it and I noticed in the past few days that if I depress the O/D button to turn the O/D off, while in Drive, nothing happens. If...
... What is "low" anyway? My 2000 has P R N D 2 1 I don't understand what you're describing anyway. For further clarification, note that the overdrive on/off...
Low = 2. When driving at normal speeds in D (O/D is on, so it's 4th gear), and I depress the O/D button the floor shifter, nothing happens. The car stays in...
Ed in NJ, Yes the 4.0 has timing chains because it has a dual overhead cam. Nissan change from the belt was 04 and timing chains are in 05. I have talk withh...
