Unless I missed it somewhere higher up in the replys, sorry if I did, a 2005 Jeep Rubicon does 0-60 in 11.1 seconds a 2005 OR Xterra will do it in 7.3. I know no one buys a 4x4 xterra for drag racing, but getting onto a short freeway on ramp or passing on a single lane road happens to most of us every day. The Xterra gets about 1 mpg better than the rubicon to boot, even with the additional horsepower. It all goes back to the core argument that the Xterra is much easier to live with as a daily driver and only vehicle.
