Pretty sure if I was good at Tetris I could fit at least 40 bags of mulch. Love the X.

If you were a real man, you would’ve tossed a tarp in the back, driven to a mulch or landscape supply, and loaded it up.

 

[theEmu]

Pssh. If I was a real man I’d buy a chipper and mulch a tree myself. But this’ll suffice.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this - and its why I periodically find myself looking for a truck, before realizing that making the Xterra do it is way cheaper than the massive debt it would take to get a new truck these days.

So how about:
A complete demo'd bathroom? (except the tub, I had to make a second trip. Still cheaper than buying a truck)

Or a pine tree that had grown too big for it's space - this was a "one tripper"

I find myself in this situation 3-4 times per year - but still no tears in the headliner!

Was considering the Frontier but decided I could use the X more than the bed of a truck

Chuck Norris would have found a wild bull, put a rope around its neck and then rode that bull around his lawn until it fertilized every square inch.

I don't have a pic, but my wife once loaded the back of our X with bricks. I can't remember how many, certainly too many. Springs were beyond flat. Clutch wasn't happy but it did it just fine otherwise.

Back in the day when i still had my 1st gen X i loaded up about a yard of paver base in the back for my parents.

Prior to my Xterra, I had owned trucks since 1988.
There are times in which I miss the convenience of a truck bed, but I'm not willing to pay the inflated price which the market is asking for a pickup.

For those times which I absolutely need a truck bed I will hook up a 5x8 trailer.

Same. One can fit quite a bit inside X.

Yep. Hard to beat the $18.95 U-Haul 5x8 for several days a year rather than buying a pickup!

Which ceiling net is that?

 

[theEmu]

Which ceiling net is that?

Someone here recommended it. $15.99 on Amazon. I replaced the plastic clips though and I wouldn’t trust it with anything heavy. I keep a travel fishing pole and sometime jackets up there. Search:

Powertye 15in x 30in Elastic Cargo Net with 10 Adjustable Hooks and Tight 2in x 2in Mesh

 

[762terra]

Thank you. I'm always wary of the cheap ones, but also not willing to spend $100 for a ceiling net. LOL.
I'll give this one a try.

This thread is epic. I don't have a crazy load to share unfortunately. Apartment life has tamed this man....

Keep em coming!

 

[Smithsonite]

Well, I can't fit 4-tons of coal in a Xterra ...

For the record, I'll never put 5k lbs. in that trailer again. It was a little crazy seeing 80 psi in the tires look FLAT. 🤣

 

[WhtShadow]

I'll admit, I put all sorts of stuff in the back of my S-10 Blazer, but I finally bought a 5x8 utility trailer, and I find it some much more convenient. It also keeps the inside of the X clean and it holds about 3,000 lbs, or a 4x8 sheet of plywood, and that is hard to get into any SUV. However, not everyone has the space to store a trailer.
