Overview Information
The 2nd generation Xterra was all-new in 2005. Based on a version of the Titan's F-Alpha full-size truck platform, the Xterra is taller, wider and has a longer wheelbase than its predecessor. The interior is larger, and the cargo area features some of the innovations from the Titan. All Xterras are powered by a 265-bhp 4.0L version of Nissan's corporate 3.5L V-6. Xterra are offered in 2WD and 4WD versions, with a choice of a 5-speed automatic or 6-speed manual. An optional 300-watt Rockford-Fosgate(R) CD audio system can crank out the tunes anywhere the Xterra goes.
