  Great SUV with crappy tires - 2011 Nissan Xterra
  By vjx - April 28 - 1:17 am

  Love everything about the Xterra except the tires. First time 4 wheeling lost a tire. Cant understand why they put jelly bean tires on an otherwise rugged SUV. Soft tires also contribute to poor gas mileage. If you can afford it, switch the tires out ASAP.

  Solid Truck, lacks features, it is what it is though. - 2011 Nissan Xterra
  By skrillax - February 5 - 1:37 am

  I bought the 2011 Xterra about 6 months ago. Its a very solid truck, tons of power, great torque, havent had the time to get down in the snow but it seems to carry itself well through all other weather situations. It definitely lacks some features for a 2011 model, suck as an AV input or a USB input. The stereo system isnt as bad as people say, just change the head unit and it sounds fine. Interior could use some better materials, but its a Utility / Off Road built truck, its good for what its built for. Get a Pathfinder if you want luxury.

  Traditional Midsize SUV - 2011 Nissan Xterra
  By creepers - February 12 - 8:08 am

  If you like the traditional SUV then you will love the 2011 Pro-4X. 4.0 liter V6 is high output engine is more than enough power. Great ride with they Bilstein performance shocks. Good looking tires (had the car a month - do not know how the tires will wear yet). Traditional SUV exterior styling. Leather seats are super comfortable. Rockford Fosgate head unit sounds great. The auxillary interface is nice. The IPOD interface is also a major plus. Nice big side back windows. Looked at a new FJ and used H3 but decided agains because the size and or lack of windows.

  2011 Xterra S, you wont be disappointed - 2011 Nissan Xterra
  By One Trick Pony - January 15 - 10:00 am

  Ive never written a review before but have read others and found them helpful. Because of other positive reviews I purchased my 2011 S model and what a GREAT vehicle. The Xterra rides great, its very quiet,the performance of the 4.0 engine and trans is impressive. I drive approx. 100 miles per day and Im getting almost 20 mpg on the button. The brake pedal is a little spongy but not a big deal. Even the base radio isnt disappointing to listen to. I do wish they made the upgraded radio an option with the 6 disc changer for the S model. I also drive a new 2010 loaded F-150 Platinum as my tow vehicle. Ive owned BMW, Porsche, Acura, Corvettes, Shelbys etc. and the Xterra will be a keeper.

  Great SUV - 2011 Nissan Xterra
  By moose72690 - November 1 - 1:48 pm

  Great SUV!!! I have the 2011 Xterra S Black. I put a NISMO cold air intake on it and it sounds fantastic! It feels safe with all the features and how high you sit up. The only complaint is that it gets 19mpg at best and there is no AUX port????

  Love it! - 2011 Nissan Xterra
  By offroads11 - July 16 - 4:27 am

  the 2011 Nissan Xterra S is our first Nissan. As far as brand we will never buy outside Nissan. The Xterra is a true SUV. Handles great off road and on long road trips. We love the outside design as well as the interior. For the price it is a great buy!!

  X gon give it to yuh - 2011 Nissan Xterra
  By Matty - June 24 - 5:29 pm

  My wife and I were looking for a 5 seater 4x4 truck with good reliability for a great price. The xterra is easily the best value in that sector. After 2010 the SMOD issue and timing chain issue was fixed and the xterras are very reliable as a result. We love the unique styling, utilitarian interior (its nothing fancy at all) and decent power. The 280ft-lb of torque are available within the first 1/4" of gas pedal movement making this thing feel very peppy. I wish the interior was a little nicer and I hope the car can hold up to the salt roads here in Mass but for the price it cant be beat. Were getting 19MPG consistently which is good enough for me.

  2011 Nissan Xterra Pro-4x review - 2011 Nissan Xterra
  By nissanboy1 - April 18 - 7:39 pm

  I bought my Xterra strictly for its offroad capabilities and here is my opinion after 36k miles: I bought a manual tranny model cause I was unsure if Nissan fixed the automatic tranny problem. First gear on the 6 speed is pretty good ratio wise for crawling around technical rocky terrain, I live in NV where that is most of the terrain. The stock tires were terrible offroad and should not be used in hard wheeling conditions. My Xterra would climb like a billy goat, but performed terribly in snow and mud as it wouldnt allow wheel spin to get through such. I blew up the front axle when I pulled the fuse to allow me to actually get the front wheels spinning in snow. Towing is sketchy!!!
