The newer vehicles Nissan has been putting out in the past few years have been geared towards the majority, and not the wheeling minority. Unfortunately, it's created rigs that do great on pavement, but are severely lacking in strength offroad, or for heavy duty work. It's unfortunate, but it's been working for Nissan on the sales end, so I don't see them changing their target audience in the future.

You'll probably get bashed for saying negatives about Nissan around here, so please, do yourself a favor and keep any negatives to the 05+ models, as the previous models do not suffer from this weak condition!
Good points. The lacky I talked to said a engineering defect must exist. I told him the SPECIFIC known defects, about how both diffs are smaller then the Gen I trucks yet with so much more power.......He just ignored me.

He also claimed(at first) the Xterra was not designed for off-road eek Ok...So that is why all marketing was geared to off-road....you have an off-road model with the most advanced drive system, clocked drivetrane, vast model improvements specifically for off-road and that big ole off-road sticker on the side :rolleyes:
