Ohh man. The nissan xterra. For
people who cant afford a
toyota and are smart enough not to get a jeep, the nissan xterra had 2 model years official model years, but 3 styles.
2000-
2004 - the first xterras, relatively reliable had 2 front ends the
square light and bugeye these came with the 2.4l i4, 3.3l v6, and a fucking SUPERCHARGED 3.3l v6, because who doesnt
love a little bitta whining from your
car when your spouse already does that
2005-2008 - sketchy year of the xterra, they usually get this fucking thing called SMOD which is where the radiator fluid mixes with the tranny fluid and it fucks the transmission to death. And the timing chain tentioner guide could fuck up cus of the guide is FUCKING
PLASTIC, the engine options for this were the vq40de, but it wasnt “solved”
2009 - the first year of the facelift, same issues as the non facelift
2010-2015 - the relatively safe years of xterras, feturing the
4.0 vq40DE that had all the issues solved for the most part, just do
oil changes and youre peachy.
Now that we got all the fun stuff outta the way lets break into the other bullshittery. Money. How much money does it take to fill up this
beastWell, at the time of writing this it is 50 bucks for a full tank and it drinks
gas like a alchoholic drinks coors lite or jack Daniels. It drinks. So be prepared to crack into your collage fund or whatever to fuel this absolute tank.
Trail goer #1 - “hey is that
tom in his new SUV? What is that?”
Trail goer #2 - “doesnt look like a
4-runner to me”
Tom - “you guys like my Nissan Xterra?”
