This is one thing people seem to get confused on. The transfer case is geared at 2.02:1, but with lower transmission gearing (3.580:1) and axle gearing (4.90:1), the Xterra has a final low range reduction of 35.43:1, which is very comparable to the 4Runner (about 43:1) and Cherokee (about 32:1 to 36:1).

With CALMINI's gears my ratio is 65.06:1, or just a tad shy of the Rubicon.
