Nissan Xterra

The Xterra is a practical SUV with legitimate off-roading capability. It’s powered by a 261-hp 4.0-liter V-6, which is mated to either a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard, but part-time four-wheel drive with a locking rear differential is optional for the off-road thrill seekers. The Xterra can be had bare-bones for those looking for an affordable all-terrain vehicle, or you can throw sporting equipment at it, making it a locker room on wheels.
