When passing on the highway I normally drop down to 4th for more power but if I really want to pass quickly I use 3rd and run it right up to redline and then shift to 4th.

I bought my truck to drive it not to baby it although I buy a new truck every year or 2 so I'm not really concerned about longevity.
Do everyone a favor and post up the VIN # of your Xterra so that when you sell it/trade it in in 2 years, we all know not to buy it. Thank you.
