Xterra
Guide picks
Previous 1 2 

Canadian Driver (2000)
Though the Xterra shares the front-end of the Frontier pickup truck from the A-pillars forward, the Xterra looks more aggressive.

Car Trackers (2000)
This vehicle plows through the wilderness with sure-footed traction, thanks to a part-time four-wheel-drive system -- locked in this instance in the high range.

Curbside (2000)
Inside, the XTerra has a rather unadorned appearance, much as one would expect in a vehicle based on a compact pickup truck. While it’s not at all cheap, it is functional.

Edmunds (2000)
There's really not a lot to dislike about the truck. It's got a decent ride, good ergonomics, and feels as though it's built extremely well.

Epinions (2000)
Owners of the 2000 Nissan Xterra share their experiences - both good AND bad. Here you'll get unbiased advice, personalized recommendations, and comparative shopping tips.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (2000)
Xterra is a rugged-looking ute with a step-up roofline that sets it apart from the look-alike utes. A tech-look tubular roof rack also gives Xterra a distinctive profile.

Motor Trend (2000)
See why Motor Trend gave the Xterra their "SUV of the Year" award.

National Highway Traffic Safety Admin (2000)
Crash test results on the 2000 Nissan Xterra 4-DR. 4x4 model.

New Car Test Drive (2000)
The base XE offers ruggedness, but not much else. All the really neat stuff is in the option packages and accessories.

The Car Connection (2000)
In the roughest conditions — the sort that the typical driver will never actually experience — Xterra's body-on-frame construction is an advantage over its car-based competitors.

The Car Place (2000)
The XTerra's typical-SUV suspension -- independent in front, with a non-independent solid axle at rear -- delivers typical-SUV handling. Body lean is well controlled for an SUV, though more severe than you'd find in a car.

The Car Place (2000)
The designers went a little over-the-top on a couple of minor points. The asymmetric bulge on the left side of the rear hatch is there solely to accommodate a cute little first-aid kit, and the tubular side rails would be more of a hindrance than a help in most off-road situations.

Truck World (2000)
Based on the acclaimed Frontier pickup, the Nissan Xterra is designed to keep up with your lifestyle, and keep going as long as you do.

Woman Motorist (2000)
Rugged looks are not just a marketing ploy. Xterra will be just as much at home in the foothills as on a trendy foothill drive.
