Collated some old footage from the mighty Nissan Xtrail because people seemed to enjoy the Xtrail videos. It was a great vehicle and for a while my only 4WD.
I’m on my second X Trail T30 and a T31, love them. Here in the UK a more acceptable size of a 4x4 and very capable. X Trail and an Oztent makes for a great camping holiday! Great video!
Thanks for the demo 👍🏼 got the late release of the 2010, auto petrol. Been fitting out for some serious travelling. Very pleased with this little beauty 👍🏼🇦🇺
Hi and thanks for your comment I did use lock often but as you would know when you go over 40kmh it would go into auto. It is a good 45min soft beach run to get to calcup hill so I did have to stop a couple of times due to the 4WD system running hot (sensing a difference in speed from front to rear) auto works well on the sand although any real challenge I engaged lock mode. When towing my caravan I used it in auto all the time, otherwise the front wheels would spin. This did hammer the rear diff clutch pack and it had noticeable play hence when on the beach working hard it would slip. Great vehicle
I don't have the Xtrail anymore but I did upgrade the tyres with Bridgestone AT 697 size 235/65R17 i think. I also lifted the vehicle with larger springs to stop the underneath hitting the sand and slowing it down. I had a steel fabricator make a 3-4mm bash plate for it to.
Mines was a 2.5 petrol, I recon the diesel would be a good match with low down torque, just make sure first gear is short weather it’s manual or auto because there is no low range. You would want it to be very responsive off the mark during test drive. When in boggy sand she needs to be able to pull from low revs. I would like to test an auto diesel.
Great video, I feel more confident now with my new T31, I was a bit esceptical. Forgot got mentioning I took mine to the beach using Auto only, no need of lock.
Loved my 2005 T30. Got written off after a crash two days ago. :-(..... Looking for my next but used prices are crazy. Pretty much double the usual price.
No because lock actively applies the brakes so I only used it when presented with a challenge, otherwise auto works well. I did have to stop a couple of times on the beach run due to flashing 4WD light which means the rear diff was starting to slip but I had towed a caravan in auto a lot which had worn the rear diff clutch pack
Yewww! Love this, I have a 2013 petrol. Looking to take it on the beach in a couple weeks so this has instilled some confidence in me.. Looks like speed and momentum is your friend. Is your vehicle stock standard or have you added any mods? Cheers :)
Current Vehicle vehicle we are using and we loves X trail... but I really dont understand what doing with xtrail when its drag down word with another jeep can any one explain it to us...
Hi there, the 2.5lt petrol with the CVT is good but will struggle to reverse is really soft sand. I would love to try the diesel auto MR20 I think the engine is. I think this engine may work better in really soft sand but I haven’t owned one. Try ask someone that has. These vehicles need a lift, a bash plate and some goods tyres.
I own the diesel that’s called the M9R with lots of torque 360 nm starts to kick in at 2000 rpm ! A little more engine noise compared to the gasoline version but a lot more power where you need it Whenever you need it ;)
Hi Ryan I had it for about 4 years and traveled about 80,000kms. I did not have any issues with the CVT even though I towed a 2t caravan. Not to say it wouldn’t have had some issues later in life. I would just check CVT oil condition and test drive for any noise, CVT’s seem to start making noise when you take the throttle off. Hope this helps
Yes it is a T31 with a great traction system called active brake limited slip. This system applies the brakes to the wheel that is spinning when in lock mode.
Hola, tengo Nissan Xtrail T31 2008 2.5 4x4 Gasolina Manual QR25DE Levante las 2 llantas para ver si las llantas traccionan con LOCK, pero solo se movian las 2 llantas delanteras q estaban en el aire Y las traseras no traccionaban en el piso
Hi i m considering to buy one with at least 150000 kms on it, did you have any problem with cvt transmission, cause i lived zona where you have uphills and downhills, with some off road dificulties and snow, i m thinking in the worst scenario of towing a cars friend uphill, and i considering this version 2.5 cvt tekna, thanks :)
Not that I am aware of but in lock mode it does apply the brakes to the spinning wheel as you will be able to see in some of my videos. This feature works well and reduces the risk of broken c/v or axles
Hi John 9 PSI on Calcup although generally 14psi Tyres were bigger Bridgestone AT I have posted the size before can I ask you to review other reply’s because I cannot remember 😀
Hi Kevin mine was a 2.5 petrol and had good power, I have driven the diesel and it felt great but haven’t tried it off-road. I am sure it would be good
Thanks dusty. Reading some of your replies that the diff clutch was slipping a bit is understandable after pulling 2t. Coming from a coaster (18lt/100) to a xtrail I’ve been contemplating either getting a van or just going with the xtrail to keep it simple. I think I’ll stick to decking out the car for travelling as I am enjoying the 8.3lt/100 I’m getting now. Plus I’m a solo traveler. Watching your video (and others) helped me decide on getting the xtrail t31 2.5 petrol manual. Cheers
@richietmn It is true CVT are weak transmission with slippage gears with whinning noise.Their transmission are subject to overheating and getting to limp mode especially after on long journeys.
@@edwinalexander1170 hi I had no issues with the CVT, the 4WD system did overheat during prolonged sand work but that may be as a result of towing a lot in AWD. The rear diff is activated by a clutch pack and when the back wheels are spinning at a different speed from the front it indicates slippage and the 4WD system flashes.
Hi Oscar, the beach was on quite an angle and a vehicle stopped in front (bogged) and when I tried to start again it started to slide down the bank. So I decided to get recovered rather than slide closer to the water
Amazing car, my dad has a 2011 in the same color and it is great, it’s comfortable in the city and a great off-roader
I’m on my second X Trail T30 and a T31, love them. Here in the UK a more acceptable size of a 4x4 and very capable. X Trail and an Oztent makes for a great camping holiday! Great video!
Petrol or diesel, looking at getting a T31, but cannot decide on engine.
Our Xtrail has been passed on from my Father to me. 12 years in action and planning to have a paintjob and ceramics on it. Great SUV
Thanks for the demo 👍🏼 got the late release of the 2010, auto petrol. Been fitting out for some serious travelling. Very pleased with this little beauty 👍🏼🇦🇺
Just send it! Yewww! Love these Xtrails!
Wow that was impressive
Wah... X trail very strong from my expected...
I own this car since 2017....one of the best.
Little Rippa mate. You must have fallen in love with it doing a lap and performing the way it does. 👍

was this a diesel or a petrol XTrail??

Hi Dusty, I am considering one of these in diesel 2.0, what was yours running on?
Mines was a 2.5 petrol, I recon the diesel would be a good match with low down torque, just make sure first gear is short weather it’s manual or auto because there is no low range. You would want it to be very responsive off the mark during test drive. When in boggy sand she needs to be able to pull from low revs. I would like to test an auto diesel.
what tyre pressure did you run it at? what roof racks did you run for RTT? cheers mate
@@slobodank76 hi Bob going up Calcup hill I went down to 9psi very low
Roof racks were Nissan OEM
@@slobodank76 generally 15psi is a good place to start on soft sand
Good on ya!
Get out there!
Great video, I feel more confident now with my new T31, I was a bit esceptical. Forgot got mentioning I took mine to the beach using Auto only, no need of lock.
Thanks Sherman great vehicle just make sure you let your tyres down and raise the suspension.
Nice video - is this diesel?
Top top top j’ai le même Nissan Je adore.
I like x-trail👍
Cool!
Loved my 2005 T30. Got written off after a crash two days ago. :-(..... Looking for my next but used prices are crazy. Pretty much double the usual price.
Best Nissan 2023
petrol diesel I have the same one same color thinking about getting a 2 inch lift
Is she on same tyre size ? let me know what size if you have upgraded.
Excelente SUV...
👍 а где брал такую палатку на крышу?
Thanks for sharing this trip! Did you use "L" and lock all time in the sand?
No because lock actively applies the brakes so I only used it when presented with a challenge, otherwise auto works well. I did have to stop a couple of times on the beach run due to flashing 4WD light which means the rear diff was starting to slip but I had towed a caravan in auto a lot which had worn the rear diff clutch pack
Altamente, bom carro.

is it good to buy xtrail 2006 disel 2.0 ???? 75k run till now....... give me best advice
Well done 👏🏿 imagine the 4wd model in the Nissan 😂
The little engine that could.
Current Vehicle vehicle we are using and we loves X trail... but I really dont understand what doing with xtrail when its drag down word with another jeep can any one explain it to us...
dont underestimated Xtrail.......... lol
Seriously thinking about getting one of these versions of xtrail as my daily and explore vehicle.

A little more engine noise compared to the gasoline version but a lot more power where you need it
Whenever you need it ;)
Wow...
Thanks for the review, Which engine and transmission did this one have ?
Hi there, it had the 2.5 petrol with the CVT transmission
Dusty Offroad thanks man !
Xtrail 👍👍👍💪💪💪
What tires for thé xtrail?
владею дизель т31 отличный авто
How long did you have it for? Did you ever have any issues with the cvt? I'm considering getting one but I've read some horror stories
Hi Ryan I had it for about 4 years and traveled about 80,000kms. I did not have any issues with the CVT even though I towed a 2t caravan. Not to say it wouldn’t have had some issues later in life. I would just check CVT oil condition and test drive for any noise, CVT’s seem to start making noise when you take the throttle off. Hope this helps
auto or manual if its an auto it has done a madness with a cvt
It’ was an auto petrol a bit hard to get moving in reverse in soft sand
Great Video haven't been game enough to take my 2011 Nissan Xtrail Ti off road. I guess its a T31?
Yes it is a T31 with a great traction system called active brake limited slip. This system applies the brakes to the wheel that is spinning when in lock mode.
@@dustyoffroad4090 Cool.
And it uses half the fuel of the other petrol in the group.
Хорошая техника при правильной эксплуатации . но только праворульная!!! Владею 3 года 2012 года выпуска
Amazing sand performance. Which tires did you have?
Hi Alex, I had commented on the tyres in a previous reply that will have more details, but from memory they were Bridgestone 235/65R17 I think.
@@dustyoffroad4090 , I see, thanks!
Hola, tengo Nissan Xtrail T31 2008
2.5 4x4 Gasolina
Manual QR25DE
Levante las 2 llantas para ver si las llantas traccionan con LOCK,
pero solo se movian las 2 llantas delanteras q estaban en el aire
Y las traseras no traccionaban en el piso
Yo tambien tengo un nisan xatail
Hi i m considering to buy one with at least 150000 kms on it, did you have any problem with cvt transmission, cause i lived zona where you have uphills and downhills, with some off road dificulties and snow, i m thinking in the worst scenario of towing a cars friend uphill, and i considering this version 2.5 cvt tekna, thanks :)
I sold mine with less than 100000kms so no issues for me
Is it possible to fit LSD or locker on rear ?
Not that I am aware of but in lock mode it does apply the brakes to the spinning wheel as you will be able to see in some of my videos. This feature works well and reduces the risk of broken c/v or axles
What tyre pressure and what tyres just stock?
Hi John
9 PSI on Calcup although generally 14psi
Tyres were bigger Bridgestone AT I have posted the size before can I ask you to review other reply’s because I cannot remember 😀
The 2 liter diesel has more torque than the 2 petrol engines, great for sand and has the heavier duty 6 speed conventional auto gearbox not a CVT.
Such a underestimated car! If they have more ground clearance that’s the only thing that slows them down 👌
2.0 petrol or 2.0 diesel?(which ine is better and WHY?)😊
Hi Kevin mine was a 2.5 petrol and had good power, I have driven the diesel and it felt great but haven’t tried it off-road. I am sure it would be good
What was your fuel consumption towing the van
Hi Tony, from memory it was about 17lts per 100kms
Pretty good considering the weight of the Van as it the full 2,000kg when loaded
Thanks dusty. Reading some of your replies that the diff clutch was slipping a bit is understandable after pulling 2t. Coming from a coaster (18lt/100) to a xtrail I’ve been contemplating either getting a van or just going with the xtrail to keep it simple.

No it’s a petrol 2.5 with CVT
Is the petrol better than diesel. Not sure what engine and spec to look for .??
As like me, 2.5 cvt is the best complectation👍
@@sergeykott1446i think 2,5 with MT or 2.0 diesel with AT is better
@richietmn It is true CVT are weak transmission with slippage gears with whinning noise.Their transmission are subject to overheating and getting to limp mode especially after on long journeys.

Why did you have to get skull dragged at the end?
Hi Oscar, the beach was on quite an angle and a vehicle stopped in front (bogged) and when I tried to start again it started to slide down the bank. So I decided to get recovered rather than slide closer to the water
This motor ? Hp? 180 HP?
Hi It had a 2.5lt petrol engine with a CVT not sure on HP sorry
Х-трейл рулит!
What engine
2.5lt petrol with CVT the engine you can hear in the video is my brothers patrol
Holy crap that music is annoying.
