The Nissan Xterra is a versatile SUV that is perfect for camping, hauling your boat, commutes in the dead of winter, and trips to the beach. The vehicle has four-wheel drive, an interior made for comfort and easy clean-up, a roof rack, plenty of trunk space, and handles in any condition.

We got this vehicle when we moved north near lake effect snow. This winter, we were able to travel through unplowed snow and ice using the four wheel high and low drives. The driver's seat has plenty of leg room, although it does sit high off the ground and takes a bit of a stretch to get into it. We may add step bars later. The interior is comfortable and the ride is smooth. The traction, as I said earlier works better than anything I've driven to date, and it has good pickup when you accelerate.
