Just in case it hasn't been mentioned, you can configure the 2005 Xterra in the future vehicles section at www.nissanusa.com .

After going through myself, some things I noticed:

Currently No 6 speed offered on the SE..?? I thought the 6 speed was going to be available on all trim levels.

VDC will be available only on the AT until April of 2005 when they will offer it on the 6 speed. :p

Hill descent and hill start available only on the AT.

Prices they have, although not final, look great!

Have fun.
