I don't see why they can't make a new Xterra. Just take the current Frontier and get rid of the bed lol. They wouldn't want to potentially take some sales away from people who are cross shopping a Bronco, Wrangler or 4Runner? I know I'd definitely take the X.
That would be awesome, however with Nissan planers circling around the toilet bowl waiting to go down. They wouldn't know a great idea if it went right past them.
Yep. I had a 2011 XTerra with a manual 6 speed. My only hate on it was the leaf spring rear suspension and it did not have a locker rear diff. Put 120k miles on it and it held it's value pretty well when I sold in 2016. 3.5 VQ was port injection as well. I could get 22-23 mpg when hyper miling. I agree Nissan needs to make a new BOF Xterra.
Still have my '05 manual 4x4 Xterra. Mostly soft-roading these days, but fun!
With manual transmission and body on frame 🙌
Yes on the xterra,bring back simple 4x4
I remember when the Pathfinder was a rear wheel drive based on frame vehicle . Now it's a front wheel based unibody vehicle . It went from an actual truck type vehicle to more of an SUV now .
Which would make more sense to have an Xterra, since before the Pathfinder and Xterra kinda did the exact same thing for Nissan.
Hi Sarah can you review the new ford raptor, the Australian version it's just landed there in the state's recently.
I'd rather have the full frame & rear wheel drive any day.
The suzuki vitara/sidekick also got that downgrade, a shame for sure.
Was thinking the same thing. Pathfinder was a legit 4Runner competitor during the hard body era. I think today it is a Maxima with an SUV body like how a Highlander is a Camry.
You still make the most honest and insightful review on YT covering everything from the easy assessment to the indepth technical industry terms with humor and wit ❤❤❤❤
"One of these things is not like the other..." 🤣 I mean can you imagine FOUR of those on the slope? YES on an XTerra, btw. Y'know, I was thinking the angle of your hair swinging forward might approximate the dive angle of the test vehicle under braking... but, uh, I guess momentum kinda f---s that up. 😐 GREAT review, as always.
There are no Better or even equal New Car reviewers than Sarah. There is no one I can find that gets under the Vehicle measuring the thickness of Sway Bars, explaining the GUTS of a vehicle the way Sarah does. Your Fashion becomes you. Matching the "mushroom" color in your Top to the Pathfinder's color is great. The Catholic School Skirt completes the package with the Scientist White Coat. Who can resist Sarah's Bolster test and her facial expressions doing the Brake Test!! Great Work Again, Brava.
Yes, bring back the Xterra. Base it on the Frontier so it can actually be used off road.
YES! They should bring back the Xterra! I bought a brand new one in 2006 and still going strong. Zero issues and I love it!
That would be a yes on the Xterra, great vehicle.
I have a Nissan cockroach, a 2000 Frontier with 214k miles and still going strong. Many original parts; engine clutch transmission AC rear brake shoes. Famous KA24DE engine popular with drift cars and other swaps. Mine is still sorta nice. I clean it periodically but the sunshine is taking its toll on the window seals, clearcoat and etc.
OMG, you don't only make car reviews informative but also fun to watch and listen to. Keep on doing what you're doing and the way you're doing it, waiting for the new Xterra review 😉
Love my 2007 Xterra 230,000miles, so reliable, so versatile. I would buy a new one!!!
Yes on the Xterra based on the frontier. Double yes on it having an optional manual and hose out exterior.
Yes for Xterra. This Pathfinder is great for what it does. I agree on the price, what a deal.
Miss the XTerra
1000000% yes Sarah!!! I want a new Xterra too!
Still my favorite 3 row SUV the Pathfinder Rock Creek package!❤❤❤❤❤
“Jiggle the diglet” has GOT to be a tshirt, please. 😂🎉
Yes, they need to bring back the Xterra. I've owned a 2015 Xterra Pro4X since new, and just hit 100k miles. I love it, and plan on having it for many more years. I would definitely consider another one, but would want a manual and a diesel would be sweet.
Bolstering assessment always makes my day better. I need a clip of nothing but bolstering for hours and hours…😂😂😂❤ Hats off to all you manufacturers willing to let this GORGEOUS woman give your vehicle a rundown, she is the best!
That wasn't a drain in the trunk storage compartment. That's where you access the release mechanism for the spare tire. And speaking of tires, those Toyo Open Country AT2's are so underrated. There's a reason why some of the best stuff is still made in Japan, and those tires definitely live up to that sentiment.
I had a 2007 Xterra 4x4. Drive that for 7 years. It was a solid rig.
I’ve been watching your videos for a few months now, i truly enjoy your content and the honest reviews. Thank you so much for all your content.
As you stated, after setting aside what they DIDN'T resurrect (a body-on-frame SUV), for what it is at its price, that's a nice vehicle. Nice color as well.
That little Crosstrek was an animal🔥
Love the color matched top, very nice!! And yes, the Xterra needs to come back, smaller/midsize vehicles are fading away and it's a damn shame.
A Pathfinder can find its way to the mall parking lot, and tow a tiny RV too. Rock Creek refers to the rock creek you may find on display inside a Cabelas store, near the stuffed bears, and off grid style cafe latte dispensers. ;)
Love your reviews
Hell yes on the Xterra...still driving my 2009 - kicks ass in the snow!
Just the greatest 😊❤️
I've been in quite a few vehicles from economy to utility to luxury and appreciate many aspects of different vehicles. (While sentimental value is a factor) The gen 1.5 Xterra is one of my favorite vehicles of everything I've been in and owned. I know there are others that do things better, but I smile every time I get into it.
You are right-on about the value versus price compared to the competition. I think the Pathfinder exterior design is still one of the most attractive. Great job color-coordinating your wardrobe, BTW. Agree the Xterra needs to make a comeback. Really enjoyed your vlog with Small Sarah and Angel. Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍
I shared your video to my xterra groups! ❤
Its kinda funny, when u were at SEMA and watching u go around, i was thinking the same thing about the Xterra should be back in production. Long time subscriber, keep the great content coming! ♥️
There's concept pictures of a 2024/2025 Xterra on the net, looks cool. They could easily base it on the Navara/Frontier D40 platform and they could use the 3.0 litre twin turbo V6 from infiniti and the 9 speed automatic. That would really be sick!! Great review like usual. Thank you Sarah.
I agree. I miss the XTerra. The elevated back seat was a nice feature.
Keep at it, you’re doing great!
Wow the interior sound dampening is awesome.
Another great Sarah video
It looks nice, is well equipped for the price, and it doesn't have some wet fart of a turbo 4cylinder huffing away under the hood. The VQ actually sounds like an internal combustion engine. I like it.
I had a Xterra and it did LOVE Moab. Towed the popup out there, offroaded for two weeks, and then hauled it back. NOTHING broke. Loved it but the backseat was tight with leg room and fuel economy wasn't great 16-17mpg). Great review and very detailed.
I also like the VQ sounds
Color matched to perfection Sarah.
Nissan needs to bring back the Xterra and you need to bring back "Small Sarah"! I use to love how you & SS played off each other!
Great video very informative. Thank you. 🏎️
Prayers 🙏
As always, your off-road reviews are highly entertaining - love that rally special stage! Top notch, and I was not expecting anything less. Thank you for what you do and Stay Awesome!
Yes for the Xterra!! Had a 97 Pathfinder, gave it to a friend and it's still going at 490 000km!
Patreon numbers are up, because of your hard work 🇦🇺👍🤗
I had a 2011 Xterra Pro4X we called the Silver Tuna. We live in Upstate New York's Tug Hill area. The Tuna was more than capable for the conditions we enjoy! She was even used for pulling bogged down Down stater's snowmobiles on occasion. A Great vehicle that should be revived!
7.3" of ground clearance, ladies and gentlemen, 7.3". My 1997 4Runner had like 11.3" of ground clearance STOCK. And when the shocks gave out I bought 2.5" OME shocks and 32" tires, almost double the ground clearance of what this "SUV ROCK CREEK" edition has. Let that sink in for a second.
That pathfinder looks awesome.
Saw one this morning.First Pathfinder I’ve seen in awhile
As someone who works on a Nissan transverse V6 (Murano) occasionally, I totally agree with your wrench score if you have to do anything other than fluids/brakes. Last thing... please get your name in for the 2024 WRX TR and BRZ tS... would like to know if you think Subaru is turning the corner.
Big YES for a new Xterra! My mom had a (then brand new) 2006 with a 6-speed manual, 2 wheel drive, and manual locks. It was fast and still went everywhere we wanted to thanks to high ground clearance. I pine for a low-mileage 4x4 model.
Loved the Xterra. Was thinking this exact same thing just a couple of days ago.
you are the most honest reviewer. 💌
When leaving a comment about a Nissan car, you can say something like, "I'm loving the design and performance of this Nissan; it's a fantastic ride!"❤
All the car you need in the USA for most people, most of the time. Great colour and a great price. Sounds decent like all VQ's, great to hear about the ZFG 9 speed.
The cottagers is Canada would love that. Fast enough to get to their next adventure on time, wild enough to have a little fun and probably not too fast to handle... although they'll still crash pretty often.
This is a nice rig, and that colour is freakin awesome. I cant get past how off center the rock creek logo is on the tailgate tho. haha. Great vid, as always Sarah.
ABSOLUTLEY YES! Bring back the Xterra ! I Loved Mine! It was 4x4 and a Rare Manual W/ 260 HP! Very Fun!
Thanks!
That thunder was vibes!
I had a 88 SE Pathfinder 5 spd. Wish I had it still. Loved that design!
Nice review - great to get the context of value against competitors
Another great video, and also another great outfit that matches the car❤
Sarah, you simply do the best vehicle reviews out there. I have no interest in this kind of vehicle, but if I were a parent with a family of skiers, I'd give this a close look.
Your content is outstanding!
I’ve always been a fan of the Pathfinder, but an even bigger fan of the XTerra.
I have a 2011 xterra with the 6 speed manual and i love that truck. I wish they'd bring it back.
Sarah, I'd really like to see a SNT branded pointer finger thing in your merch. Just think, we viewers could be finger swatting stuff on our end in unison with the hairy cardboard call outs! How fun would that be?
100% They should bring back the Xterra, but this version of the Pathfinder gives me a little hope. Like they remembered they used to be some really dope off-roaders and maybe they should do a little more of that. Great review as always, Sarah.
Nissan should definitely do a modern version of the X-Terra that can climb that mountain. ❤❤
The Xterra was really overlooked by quite a few. I like Jeeps and 4Runners, but the Xterra was always more in my tax bracket.
Yes Xterra, , I had the old school Pathfinder " Hard body " I had a 1993 Pathfinder got it in 1997 for the 1 owner only had 25k miles had it 15 years it was a beast i was running 31 inch tires never stuck in the snow , But by 2012 it only had 150k miles but it started having issues, some 18 kid bought it in 2012 for 2000 dollars and was making it into a mud running
Yes on a new Xterra! I’m driving mine that I bought 23 years ago!
I like the way you did this video!
Luv the desert Thunders storm sounds. I could actually smell the wet sage.
Excellent review! It appears to be the joint product with the Mitsubishi Outlander as the base. I have the 2012 Xterra and it gets about the same fuel economy..Awesome!
Bring back the Xterra. I had a 2002 and loved it. I traded it for a Titan and now that is being discontinued.
I like this package. Nice interior, capable.
They need to make a simple, powerful Xterra. Don't overthink it Nissan.
Interesting AND entertaining. Yup, that's Sarah.
Dig those shoes!
Nice all around family wagon to tow the boat and do sand washes, etc.
I really like this model.
I had an Xterra back in 2008, they could easily make one off of the new Frontier platform, better than that mall crawler Pathfinder.
You were having fun!
I just drove my 05 Xterra thru snow and ice. Flick the 4x4 on. Go. Yokohama Geolandar tires were excellent.
I thought this exact same vehicle color and all. I love my new ride ❤️😎
Hey Sarah, pretty nice addition especially for the money I don’t think they’re gonna last like the old ones did but let’s hope so. great review as always have a good one🐧🐧🐧👍
I'M GLAD SOMEONE'S SAYING IT OUT LOUD! I would probably buy a first year model cus i want one so bad.
As alway's a great review. I would love for Nissan to bring back the Xterra! Wish they had never discontinued it.
Definitely but make it small like the first one
I loved my 2012 NISSAN Xterra. Pro4X. BEST SUV I've ever had. Now I have a 2017 Titan. Again, love it. That said if you're looking at say an exploder or some thing similar, this is one worth looking at.
My 10 year old Murano gets the same gas mileage. But I would much rather have this - looks great. Great review Sarah.
That Pathfinder looks really well made for a modern car. It should last as much as 50K miles before crumbling to pieces. Nissan should make a very basic Xterra without any electronic anything that lasts 300K miles and costs like $20K. And don't change the design for 20 years.
Love the Xterra, and this Pathfinder didn't do half bad during the off-road section, obviously not designed for HD applications, but there's room for improvement. Also, VQ engines are the best. Wish Nissan would put one back in the Altima with AWD.
I like the 'hairy cardboard' in the inner wheel wells, it is much easier to get mud and crap off it rather then the smooth black plastic.
Nice review Sarah, I currently run a 2010 Xterra , my first Xterra was a 2008 and I drove it to AZ from NH towing a 21’ travel trailer. I just put on a new set of Cooper Road & Trail AT’s, the are da bomb. I heard from a Nissan dealer that Xterra will be brought back in 2025. So I will wait for that rather than give in to this Pathy with a big sticker price.😊
