Are you referring to the older real truck Xterra or the newer car-based Xterra?
The Xterra is built on the same frame as Frontier.
Yeah, I don't think there was ever a car based Xterra. Maybe confused with a Pathfinder?
I had a first gen Xterra that was based on the old Hardbody. Great vehicle. The 3.3 VG was a little down on power but the manual tranny helped. I got close to 200,000 miles out of it before I sold it for $5000 and it never gave me a bit of trouble aside from a corroded battery clamp that killed it in an intersection on a nice 100 degree day a few years back. My fault, though.
The newer generation Xterra should be a decent tow vehicle within limits. The older ones were way too down on power to tow much of anything.
