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
16:35 I have had 4 wonderful cockroaches. One got over 330,000 miles on it.
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.
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.
"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.
I have an xterra and want it to be brought back, but I'm so afraid of what they'd do to it.
Can’t be worse than what gm did to the Chevy blazer.
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 ❤❤❤❤
After 30 years of owning several Nissan’s, I wouldn’t purchase a new one unless they bring back the X and a MT option.
Yes, bring back the Xterra. Base it on the Frontier so it can actually be used off road.
Yes on the Xterra based on the frontier.
Double yes on it having an optional manual and hose out exterior.
I have a 2012 Pathfinder which is what I consider to be the last REAL Pathfinder. And yeah, they should definitely bring back the XTERRA but Nissan is such a weird company these days being under the control of Renault which is so "French!"
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.
That would be a yes on the Xterra, great vehicle.
Ok. I’ll admit it, I watch these videos to hear you say “shteel”. Lol. I used to be a big fan of Nissan. They lost me with the teeny spare. 🤦♂️ At least the transmission isn’t a CVT.
So many inappropriate jokes to make.. So little time.
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 😉
1000000% yes Sarah!!! I want a new Xterra too!
Xterra was there last great addition to their lineup with a real skid plate...It was a real truck that could take a beating and had a great 4 wheel drivetrain...I have 400,000 miles on my 2011 xterra and don't plan on letting it go anytime soon...I'd buy another one in a minute .I don't want a soccer mom skid plate with all wheel drive .
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.
Yes for Xterra. This Pathfinder is great for what it does. I agree on the price, what a deal.
Absolutely wish Nissan would bring back the Xterra.
Australia
The Xterra was really overlooked by quite a few. I like Jeeps and 4Runners, but the Xterra was always more in my tax bracket.
I still daily a 2015 Xterra
Id love to see Nissan bring it back. I do hope its a body on frame rear wheel based vehicle though.
I dont mind so much that the pathfinder went to a 3rd suv style. The front wheel based bothers me for some reason
Yes, please bring back the Xterra! It's like they're trying to make up for a lack of an Xterra when they should just make a new Xterra instead.
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! ♥️
A body on frame Pathfinder would have been nice. I'll keep my 2008 V8 R51. I'll agree, a body on frame Xterra would be nice as well.
Same. I'm keeping my V8 for as long as I can!
As somebody who has an xterra I would realllllllly like them to bring it back. Only real other option now is the 4runner and the gx. Be nice to have more on the market. (Detroit trash doesn’t count of course)
I'm with you on a body-on-frame Pathfinder or Xterra. I remember the Pfdr from the early 90s and it was one of the coolest little trucks out there. Then Nissan ruined it, made it Momwagon (no offense to moms/dads out there.) Then they kinda made the Xterra, well-reviewed as a 'new' Pfdr...then killed it. Come to think of it, Nissan, Honda and Toyota ruin or kill their best-loved vehicles. Not just trucks either: Prelude, CRX, Integra, S2000, Supra, G35, etc. I think they listen too much to marketing guys, not customers.
Sarah,
Speaking of cockroaches, I do believe our friendly neighborhood Subaru vehicles are probably the cockroachiest of them all 🧐.
🐧 keep the aspidistra flying! 🐧
🌹 Love, 🌹
Paul
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?
I think there's a demand for AFFORDABLE and compact off roaders. Not these oversized SUVs with "offroad trims"
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.
They need to make a simple, powerful Xterra. Don't overthink it Nissan.
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!
It’s sad how car manufactures are moving away from unique vehicles and lots of different options, to all samesies. We don’t need another SUV.
Hello I have a 88 SE-V6 Pathfinder 2-door with VG30i I do my own work on it. I have about 4k into it and its a better choice to off road and would have done all that you asked. I watch your channel while I eat my bachelor chow hint hint
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.
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.
Yea Nissan definitely needs a new Xterra, but I saw some concept designs that made it just as long as the Pathfinder 😮. My Xterra is still running strong though, so I can wait😅
Bring back the Xterra. I had a 2002 and loved it. I traded it for a Titan and now that is being discontinued.
Nissan should definitely do a modern version of the X-Terra that can climb that mountain. ❤❤
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. 👍👍👍
As the owner of a 2009 Xterra, I would l love to see them come back but I get the feeling they would nerf it and turn it into every other grocery getter.........but with boob lights and a roof rack.
A new Xterra done right would be so cool! Come on Nissan!!
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!
Nissan needs a new Xterra. I would like to see you MOD out your sisters X into an off road project.
Xterra Please!
I still drive my 2002/190K Xterra. Bulletproof.
Yes! Bring back the Xterra! Had my SE 4x4 for 17 years! Nissan could totally compete with the Bronco if they did it right. Simple ‘ol skool stripped down “park it in the sun to activate the heated seats” vibe. I’d definitely consider it if it had the same lean look of the original. Who wants another egg shaped SUV!?!?! Nobody!!!
Yeah the Xterra would be nice. But i hope that they bring back a normal and or manual transmission for the Maxima.😢 Matter of fact if they brought back the maxima with an automatic transmission i would get one as soon as its available.
Meh, I feel like Nissan should give up on SUVs, bring back the Pulsar instead 😂
Still my favorite 3 row SUV the Pathfinder Rock Creek package!❤❤❤❤❤
I have a 2011 xterra with the 6 speed manual and i love that truck. I wish they'd bring it back.
I would seriously consider buying an Xterra. Body on frame would increase that likelihood.
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.
Do you have a video on the off-road Honda Pilot 2024 model? May you compare the Honda Pilot and the Pathfinder?
The Great Algorithm brought you to my feed and I'm so glad it did. Yes, you're adorable but you give a lot of helpful information (and now I want to learn the metric system 😅). Fantastic, honest reviews, and I love your build projects! Did you finish the Celica build? Again, I love your work! 🎉🎉🎉
Nissan has become such a disappointment. I have a 2004 X and I would not replace it with that pathfinder
Thanks you for this well thought review, and you're just plain beautiful
as a current xterra owner... yes, a new xterra. and make sure it is actually off road capable... dont just make an suv...
I’ve always been a fan of the Pathfinder, but an even bigger fan of the XTerra.
I hope Nissan listens to you Sarah because they haven’t listened to me yet.
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.😊
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 had a 2007 Xterra 4x4. Drive that for 7 years. It was a solid rig.
Is there an issue with video release timing ? I just got a notification saying your video posted, currently 14 minutes ago, but there's currently comments from 55 minutes ago, also considering its an 18 minute video. I thought I was going to be the first comment lol
As an Xterra owner, I 100% would support Nissan building a new one to compete with the Bronco/Wrangler. That would be "trade in my old one Day"!!!
I just drove my 05 Xterra thru snow and ice. Flick the 4x4 on. Go.
Yokohama Geolandar tires were excellent.
... Please Nissan - close up the back of a Frontier Pro 4X & call it an Xterra ...
I think they should do what Ford did with the Bronco. Have an Xterra body on frame like the frontier without the bed...and another unibody Xterra that would compete against the grand cherokee and Bronco sport.
I love my Xterra. I want the next one to look like a suv and not a jumbo station wagon.
That pathfinder looks awesome.
Miss the XTerra
Yes , please please bring back the X - My 2005 is still going super strong .The only vehicle to have to navigate and endure Montreal roads with potholes and moon craters Leaf spring please .Salt is brutal , will need an update eventually.😭
popped the hood and the giant suitcase muffler IMMEDIATELY makes sense 😂 Trying to muffle a vuvuzela wielding wookie indeed
Yes!! Nissan definitely needs to bring back a new butt kicking Xterra!!
Nissan....we build cockroach vehicles. Catchy😅
I own a 2006 Xterra Off Road. It would be nice to see a modern version of it! 😃
I shared your video to my xterra groups! ❤
Please, PLEASE Bring Back The Xterra!!!!
I just sold my 2012 Xterra, I would buy a new model in a heartbeat
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.
Yeah bring back the XTerra!
Yes on a new Xterra! I’m driving mine that I bought 23 years ago!
I miss my Xterra (2002). Wish they'd bring it back.
I would love to see how a Hyundai Santa Fe XRT compares to this. They seem very similar in a way as "soft-roaders"
Yes, XTERRA!!!
Just bought a new Frontier and like the Pathfinder, under the hood is also unpainted. I love the truck but c’mon Nissan. Patchy flat paint and primer under the hood screams cheap. My $10,000 base model Chevy Spark was fully painted.
Otherwise love the truck.
Hell yes on the Xterra...still driving my 2009 - kicks ass in the snow!
I'M GLAD SOMEONE'S SAYING IT OUT LOUD! I would probably buy a first year model cus i want one so bad.
Another great video, and also another great outfit that matches the car❤
Nissan build cockroach like vehicles brilliant, though looking at what we get in the UK at the moment the most off-road type vehicle is the X-Trail don't even get the Navara pick up now.
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 do kinda miss the stepped roof of my '02 X ... but I'd love to see Nissan go after the BRZ/GR86 or MX-5, instead.
As much as I'd love to see it (I've owned both a Z31 & S13 and currently own a Z33), I don't see that happening.
Utes move the sales needle far more than sport compacts, and there's no doubt the bean counters would cite the poor sales numbers of the RZ34 (while ignoring low availability and the extreme price gouging) as the reason for not bringing a sport compact competitor to market.
EDIT: I really miss my N50 Xterra and would love to see a more modern (but not tech laden) version out there (with a front locker this time 'round) to run against the omnipresent Broncos & Wranglers.
I have a 2005 Xterra with over 164,000 miles on it. It's a great vehicle! I've been wanting Nissan to bring back the Xterra for years.🤞
I remember when the Pathfinder arrived in the mid 80s. At that time, it was a very desirable rig. Two row seating, v6 power, 4wd, and 5 speed manual.
This? Hard pass.
1000% Should bring back the Xterra. They hardly advertised it when it was in production and in today's market, it would do well. Especially the Pro4X models.
Have to say, Sarah... this Pathfinder's identity crisis is clearly laid out on the 'tailgate' or rear hatch. Some of the ugliest font and grouping I've seen on a modern vehicle.
I was thinking the same thing, almost like they asked the work experience kid to slap those stick on badges anywhere.
You are gorgeous, thanks for the video beautiful 🌹
Wish the Pathfinder was like 90's Pathfinder. It's sad to see how has bloated over time. Can't even climb what a Crosstrek did. Should have called it WalmartCreek.
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.
