- Just a quick practice run at Hungry Valley. We only took videos of the first run of the three features we did, due to the the strong wind. The later runs were better, but we stopped recording and just enjoyed driving around the features.
The Xterra and the GX470 did really well in stock form, didn’t even need to use the lockers.
Going to be getting an X to go along with my Pathy soon. I love my VQ40s. :D
Go for it! I love mine, I’m sure you will too.
Gorman I've been there once did some test driving myself on my 2002 Sequoia! I used to own a 2006 Nissan Xterra off-road edition. Which came with factory e lockers on the rear. Mine was manual tran transmissions! But this is a fun video to watch to see what my Nissan would have accomplished since I never went here with the Nissan!
Those off-road editions with manual transmission have better gear ratios than the automatics. I’m sure that it will have no issues on these obstacles. Thanks for watching!
The GX driver is not as smooth as the other driver. You should have had him drive both SUVs for a fair comparison.
He did much better after a few passes. He’s used to driving a 4wd Honda Pilot and this is his first time driving the gx on a loose incline.
I did drove the gx on one of the obstacle and the xterra is definitely easier to throttle control.
Nice video Ben never been to hungry valley but it sure looks fun and I love that gx470 I might get one soon 🤞
Salamat Jeff! Yeah it’s an awesome overland rig, it’ll be perfect for you. Let’s hit Hungry Valley sometime.
Always amazed at the ABLS in my Xterra, can keep going in two wheel drive when alot of others have to switch into 4x4. And when I do engage 4x4 im amazed even more, even without lockers ! After owning 6 different Jeeps and two TRDs Im happy with the Xterra.
Yup, ABLS works. When I first got my Nissan, I didn’t even know about it. There’s no switch or even a light indicator for it, but definitely could feel it working.
What year did the ABLS come out? I have a Xterra 08 but I don't think I have that option
@@argentosebastian 05-15 so the whole second gen run but only 4x4 models. I heard it was only optional on the S trim but most other sources say all S’s have it if 4x4.
Nice Ben. We need to go on a trail soon.
Yessir, let’s go.
Lexus looks very solid👍
I have s titan swap xterra. Pro4x
That’s awesome. I’ll probably do the same, when its time to redo the suspension.
@@xbenture don't sleep on it. These things take a long time die
@@scottChapman25 If that’s the case, my wallet will be happy😆
Did the Nissan Xterra ever use the factory rear lockers? Or did it not need them?
Didn’t use the lockers, it wasn’t need it. I also took my Nissan Frontier here before and it did well without the lockers.
Gotta use 4 low on that Lexus to really take advantage of this type of terrain. That v8 really makes it want to take off with any throttle input.
I agree, that v8 has a lot of torque.
Yeah, he needs to learn how to drive that gx😂
@@vincehernandez7178did you watch the video?
Did you lock the rear diff on the Nissan during these tests?
I didn’t turn on the locker.
Maganda cguro mag switch ng sasakyan same obstacle then ano ang feedback nila which is more capable vehicle
I drove the gx one time on the same obstacle. Not much difference yung result. Madaling mag spin yung tires. Mas kontrolado yung input ng xterra.
@@xbenture xterra is better than gx? Gx is one with v8?
@@chatnavz I wouldn’t say it’s better. I will need to drive the gx more, for me to tell which one is better. They’re very different from each other. Yes the gx has the v8 engine.
Was the center dif locked on the lexus? Mechanically it seems that would be a more fair comparison since the xterra would be center locked as soon as it is in 4x4 while the lexus is all time 4x4 with center dif being open. Seems the nissan is quicker to react to slipping and engage the traction aid.
We both did not engage the lockers, we’re just in 4lo.
@@xbenturethe Lexus has a center diff. The xterra does not. Of the gx did not have the center diff locked it was at a severe disadvantage
Lexus say, crunch crunch.
A lift and some sliders should fix that.
Ниссан рулит !!
Xterra is far more superior off road!!
Very underrated.
V8 swap that xterra, then it will be a beast
Oh hey Miguel, you would know. You got the baddest built xterra.
V8 and titan swap = un phuckin stopable, or would that just be an armada altogether
@@johnnyreb9398 Yeah you get the v8, wider stance and a much cargo space..Lol
