The lack of cargo space has always been an issue for Wranglers, but being the most widely aftermarket supported vehicle, there are lots of accessories for hanging stuff on top and out back. Just look at the ones often seen on long trail rides. Lots of junk "hanging" on them.

But... sure is nice to have everything inside, dry, and easy to get to.

The Wrangler has a lot of pros and cons. It isn't in the same market with the Xterra. Different class of vehicles. Plastic versus steel bumpers should be the first clue... Besides, there are 3 other (non-Wrangler), bigger models, if you really wanted a Jeep. I like the quality of Nissan, always have.

I just wish Nissan USA would offer a diesel option, as Jeep did for the 2006 Liberty. Betcha we see Nissan coming out with a diesel option for the 2007 models!
