( www.TFLcar.com ) The 2013 Nissan Xterra PRO-4X is a very off-road worthy traditional SUV. In other words it is not one of those new fangled crossovers. Instead it has a traditional body on frame design with a normally aspirated powerful V6 engine. And since we are testing the top of the line PRO-4X Xterra, we also get all of the good off-road bits like stiffer shocks and underbody protection. In another fun and informative TFLcar off-road review we take the 2013 Nissan Xterra PRO-4X up to the top of our off-road trail deep in t he Colorado Rocky Mountains. How does the 2013 Nissan Xterra PRO-4X do when the road turns rocky muddy and steep? Just watch this video to find out.

"If it had a manual transmission I'd buy it, since it doesn't, I'd say lease it". The Xterra comes in both 5-speed automatic as well as a 6-speed manual. Also, I'm surprised you guys didn't mention any of the features the Pro4X comes with like a locking rear diff and the hill descent control. In fact, you didnt talk about ANY of the features of this rig.

@UltimateAPBTS 5 лет назад

Amatuers...lol

@eriklehman4580 5 лет назад

It's cringe. They didn't talk about the factory 1" lift or the Bilstein shocks. Like you said they didn't mention the locking rear diff or hill descent. They didn't show 10% of what this vehicle is capable of.

@freedomrider266 4 года назад

Like most of us Americans, the only Nissans that they know about are a 370Z or GT-R...It would shock a lot of USA off road boys to learn that oversea, the Nissan Patrol is second ONLY to the Land Cruiser in ability and numbers, and actually outperforms the LC in the desert!!!...There are more than just Jeeps out there guys....

@DRTMaverick 4 года назад

@@freedomrider266 Yeah and in the states the Xterra is the FJ Cruiser's competition. I'd love patrols here, but I'd also love if you guys had Xterras there, I think the Navara guys would appreciate them at least. My xterra currently has a Nissan Titan front IFS suspension and diff swapped in. live.staticflickr.com/65535/50212511237_90fa78031b_h.jpg

Thank you guys! I wanted so much to see a new review of the Xterra. I love this car and it´s off road capabilities. I hope the on road review for this Xterra would be more detailed on features. And Nathan should take his kids for a long ride in the back seat just to tell us how comfortable they were.

@Muddn777 9 лет назад

There is a local group in SW Missouri, they really test these! I like the review, and always watch your reviews. I was real close to having my wife buy one of these as her vehicle. Instead we purchased a highlander, and am impressed. I saw the SW Missouri group do some trails in their area, and ever since then, I wanted one. Power windows, locks, and that much power!

@socksandtea 11 лет назад

Thanks for reviewing this vehicle. Your Moab review first turned my attention to this 4WD and I am really excited to hear your thoughts during tomorrows on-road review. I've been looking at buying a 4WD for a while and the Xterra PRO-4X seems to the favorite. The other two in this field (FJ and Jeep Wrangler) are good but each have some limitations/drawbacks. Love both the channels. Thanks!!!!!

@tomlee6263 5 лет назад

@thefastlanecar im looking to grab an older model xterra, tacoma, or 4Runner for some offroading and camping/roadtrips. I'm not looking to grab a new tacoma or 4runner bc its out of my budget. Which do u think is the best buy for the buck? For example, a 2012 Tacoma offroad for $27-30k with payments for the next 5 yrs? Or a 2005-6 Nissan xterra 4x4 (unknown if it has rear diff lock.

@sierratough4934 6 лет назад

Buy an xterra 2010 and above.

Ha, I just saw this, I know this is from a few years ago Nathan, but the front doesn't have an independent rear suspension Lol! No worries, just busting your chops. Your videos have definitely come up over the years.

@theliberalelitist 10 лет назад

Did anyone else notice how he checked the coin at 6:57, then casually dropped it to get another shot at landing on "heads"? My guess is it was on "tails" when he checked his wrist. We used do do that in elementary school if the coin toss didn't go our way.

@weitiw5845 11 лет назад

wondering which trail did you guys usually test sub offroad or mud road?

@sideshowbilly3755 7 лет назад

So how does this Nissan Pro-4x compare to the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 Limited or Overland? (5.7L Hemi and 3.6L versions) (both on-road and off-road)

@scottharrison3391 7 лет назад

The Jeep is nice and more luxurious, but priced way more.

That was smooth Roman. Letting the quarter "accidentally" fall off your hand ;) lol

@NathanDAdlen 11 лет назад

Thanks a lot! Yes, please - give me some ideas! There is one thing: we use this trail (the Left Hand Canyon ORV trail) because it is our measuring stick for "basic" off road driving. Sure, we could go and do serious boulder-bashing, but that would take us away from a trail we can ascertain the basic characteristics of the vehicle at hand. We use the same location because we know it and know the various levels of ability needed for each vehicle. Still, I'm always game for a new ORV trail. Thanks!

@exhaustedpluto 11 лет назад

Nathan, did you give it only a lease it because this particular xterra was automatic, or because they don't come with a manual at all? Because they are definitely available with a 6-speed standard. Either way, great video guys! Love the off road reviews.

@NIGHTMAREuki 11 лет назад

@DukeWhite04 11 лет назад

So here's my questions, would you rather have the Xterra pro4x or the wrangler unlimited sahara? And then if you threw in xterra pro4x or the wrangler unlimited rubion? Would your answer still be the same? I have struggled between which of these 2 vehicles to get. I am a jeep owner, and lover. But the xterra is a little more comfy, and maybe better mpg?

@marlonsanchez2504 9 лет назад

Hi guys i like 4x4s and im thinking to get a jf cruiser but i would like to hear your opinion which one would be better for snow off road and nasty weathers, thanks

@joshhdz41 8 лет назад

Jeep Wrangler

@mkp1214 8 лет назад

Technically normal SUV's with awd and not 4x4s are better in snow mainly because of the lower centre of gravity

@09blackcobaltss 11 лет назад

Doesn't the Xterra have a 6speed manual option?

@Woodcote 11 лет назад

Fun review, I enjoyed it! I sure wish Nissan would update their engine. There are several 2.0 direct injected engines that make about the same HP/torque as this huge 4.0. If Nissan could drop something similar in to the Xterra with a 6-speed manual that would be worth buying.

@boostseason 11 лет назад

any plans on reviewing the new Infiniti Q50 soon?

@MrNicholg 11 лет назад

Not mentioned in the review, the 4.0 is a stroked version of the 3.5L, and it's got a low range transfer case. That combo typically works well for both on-road and off-road without being a tractor on the road. Still, a modern diesel might be nice. They are always heavy and expensive though.

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to listen to it to tell me there thoughts on if it is the top end, lower end or the timing chain? Thx William

@xlthumper 3 года назад

If it is a sort of high pitched whine, it will most likely be the timing belt tensioners. They are known to wear out prematurely.

Are Nissan ever going to update this car? This is the 9th model year. It has fuel economy, transmission, gearbox and in car tech lifted straight from 2005.

jydracing, I believe they were in Left Hand Canyon, just outside of Boulder. There's a trail there called Big Momma Hill and I don't see anything short of a heavily modified Xterra making it to the top. Our LR3 rides the sliders quite often going up it.

Nathan, I have owned a total 4 Xterras (own an Xterra S now) from 2008-2012. I lived in Colorado for over 13 years and wheeled just about everywhere it could go. But I couldn't quite recognize the trail you guys were on, But it was too simple to properly test the Xterra Pro 4X. I could give you ideas on trails in the Woodland Park, CO area that would truly test the capability of the Pro 4X, including having to engage the locker, without risking any damage. If you are interested, let me know.
