Hi All,
I'm hoping the experts here can lend a little help. I am an Ex-Xterra owner (2001). I loved the truck and it was stolen from me(still bitter!) several years ago. I'm in the market for another one and have a few questions.
I am looking for something in the 2005-2010 range most likely. I'd like to keep the budget to under 18k in order to spend some money on a lift, parts, etc.
Questions:
- Opinions on differences between the earlier year 2nd gens and 2008+? Keeping in mind I will be wheeling. Gear ratio's, diff lock's, etc..
- Recalls/problems. I've seen the recalls online but are there any other common issues I should be aware of? I saw someone mention that earlier year 2nd gen's had timing chain issues as an example.
- Anything else I should be aware of?
Just starting my research and excited to get another one. Cheers everyone!
Dan
