I traded my 2001 Xterra XE for a 2005 Xterra Offroad.

The different engine was a huge factor. MUCH more power.

The interior has been upgraded, and with exception of the 16 inch tires I LOVE all the differences from 2001 to 2005. To me it seems like they really listened to the owners on what they would like to see and made as much happen in 2005 as they could.

I still love driving this new one, it was very much worth it to me.
