Well, is it fair to say that after reading this and the other post about broken drive train parts, that our 2nd gen Xterra's are pieces of crap?

Having read this forum and these posts about 4x4 issues when actually using the trucks to go off road, I no longer would consider or recommend the Xterra to anyone as a real 'out of the box' off road SUV. It really is just another fancy mall crawler after all.
