Hilarious Wheelz!
I've been on the trails with a few XTerras and I have to admit, they hold their own compared to most stock SUVs. Too bad the frames seemed prone to crack on them. Otherwise, they are a Manly if ugly vehicle.
Say what you will about Toyota but my truck sports a brand new 'free' frame, springs, exhaust etc. just because it was on a list where it was known to have received some Very rust prone steel for the frames for a couple of years. My Buddy went back to Nissan with an absolutely never off roaded, two year old, under warranty Xterra with a seriously cracked frame on the drivers side where the motor compartment meets the cab. Despite returning a couple of times armed with a pile of Internet evidence of similar complaints and consumer reports and all he could get was a "You abused it, you pay for it." attitude. They also said it was unrepairable. After a few letters from his lawyer and a summons, they said they would fix it and ended up giving him a new vehicle.
