The VQ40 engines were surprisingly rock solid. Got nearly 300,000 miles on my Pathfinder before I sold it, and I still see it driving around from time to time.
It's really not so much most of their engines. It's usually their transmissions and their interiors...also they have thin paint. But Nissans when properly maintained can last a long time. I had an '03 Frontier with a 4 banger 5 spd. RWD and that thing NEVER left me stranded and fired up 99.9% of the time. Had almost 375k miles on it when I sold it with MINIMAL problems.
Very true. Nissan's Jatco CVT transmissions have given Nissan as a whole a bad name. They aren't bad transmissions, per say, but if you treat them like a regular AT (aggressive driving, not changing CVT fluid, etc) they will not live long. We have a Jatco CVT in our Outlander Sport, and we just passed 200k and the transmission is still rock solid. That being said, the CVT fluid has been changed every 30k miles and we've always been gentle with it.
Shopped for a used 4Runner back during the chip shortage. High mileage ones were insane prices. Looked for the next best thing. Scotty’s last Xterra video and Car Wizard’s Frontier review sold me so I picked up a ‘14 Xterra S 4x4 used with 90k. Now at 117k miles with just basic maintenance. She’s THIRSTY but I love my X.
@@pineappleoverlord9k462 FAR better and they can easily go 300k. Especially post 2011-2012ish when all the kinks were finally ironed out. Even if you needed to, it’d be easy to get new parts because that gen Frontier ran into the 2020s. You’ll love it.
Same story for me. After seeing reviews on both vehicles, I couldn’t justify paying so much for a slower vehicle. I love my X and will replace the engine or trans if I have to to keep it going.
I've had two Xterras, and just bought my third; it's 17 years old, with 164,000 miles on it. It has a plethora of computer codes showing up, one of them being the crank shaft sensor. It stalls out, just like this one did. I knew about this when I bought it, so why buy that headache? Simple: IT'S AN XTERRA!! I know what I'll have, after it's fixed, which is a BEAST that will carry me happily many, many more miles! ❤
I'm a former Nissan tech (during the 2001-2003 era) and fell in love with the round headlight Xterras. I needed to replace a car fast late 2022 and had been eying up the newer Xterras as well as 4Runners. I got so much more vehicle with the X than I could have for the overpriced 4Runners. I found a 2011 Pro-4x in Night Armor gray locally with 140k on the clock and several performance mods. We had a record snowfall that winter, and with some new Nitto TerraGrappler tires that X tore it up! I have 185k on it now, and it has a couple repairs to do but I love it. Added a 2" lift with new Bilstein shocks, it looks amazing. I love this thing.
I love my Xterra!!!! She's just over 100,000 miles and she is my ride or die. I love this car. Does everything I need it to do! I can only hope and pray she last's to almost 500,000 miles!!!
So many people including Scotty are misinformed about Nissan reliability. Nissan has always made cars and trucks that last long. Just look up how long do Nissan engines last and look up how long do Toyota engine last, and do the same with Honda as well. Nissan engines and transmissions have out lasted Toyota and Honda. It’s a false reputation that people keep repeating. Nissan engines on average last 300k Toyotas last 250k look them up. I’m a mechanic and I also drive a 2001 Xterra v6 for the last 23 years. I have 449k miles on it, it still runs great, over 95% of the parts are original including the drive train, and AC system, all power windows.
@@ianc279they're great cars. 2000-2001 was first gen 2002-2004 was first gen face lift. You could get either a 2.4L 4 cylinder 5 speed or a 3.3 Sohc v6 5 speed manual or 4 speed auto. Both transmission options are AWESOME. Don't expect to tow the best, but you could. As for 2005-2015, those are second generation Xterras. People consider 2010 and later to be a "facelift" 2nd gen. Between 2005 and 2009, the Xterras (now with only a 4.0 V6 available) have an issue with their radiators. The fluid used in the automatic equipped Xterras can experience something called SMOD (strawberry milkshake of death). The fluid will corrode the internals of the radiator away causing the ATF and coolant to mix and destroy the transmission. This being said, the 2010-2015's are much more recommended to buy, but the 2005-2009 are great assuming you are willing to install a new radiator, and an external transmission cooler thus mitigating the need for the radiator transmission cooler as this is much much safer. All of this can be avoided if you get a 2005-2015 with a manual 6 speed. Fun fact, the second generation Xterras equipped with a manual transmission have a button that allows you to start the car in gear so you can crawl up a hill before having to use the throttle so you can crawl, even though it's a manual. I believe it's called the clutch override switch
I have a 2006 350z 206k miles....2006 Xterra 105k miles. My 350z was a track toy and autocross car. All original engine. Still will put you back in your seat at a stop light. Great cars, awesome engineering under both hoods.
@@kensisson7593 They used the Datsun name over here so that they didn't ruin their Nissan name in case the brand was a flop. Their brand wasn't a flop so they changed to their original name. The Toyotas were far worse at rusting than Nissan. They were equal when it came to engine and transmission reliability at that time though
I've got nearly 300,000 mi on my '06 Xterra right now. I bought it about 5 years ago off of a guy that never took care of it. Its actually been pretty reliable. The only problems I've had is the rear axle broke because the rear diff seal blew out because of a clogged breather and needed to be replaced, the catalytic converters clogged up so I needed to remove those, and the valve cover on the passenger side started leaking so I replaced both. Since I've owned it I've put in a new fuel pump, new brakes, calipers and rotors, new spark plugs and coils, new tires, and that's about it. Still runs great with a minor oil leak that I can find, still has very good power, and it's never left me stuck in the snow or mud.
I have a 2011 xterra pro 4x. I routinely take it off road for hard to access camping, long road trips for fishing. 200k miles on it and not a single issue yet. Just regular maintenance!
I have an 07 Xterra X with a standard transmission and no options. Even has crank windows. I didn’t want any dumb stuff that would break. It has been such a resilient vehicle and runs great. It has taught me so much about cars and I take great care of it. It only has 210k miles on it, but when I get to 500k I’m bringing it to Scotty to make a video.
I have an 02 xterra 150 k miles manual that has a carburetor lol 4 cylinder had it 8 years bought it for 5k. Best low maintenance car i have ever bought just oil changes. Everything is manual including the engine
This issue is normally the sensor. I have had the same problem with all my v6 nissan and infiniti vehicles. Change it and probably change all of them. They all go out around the same time
So true, it has taught me above all how to drive a car :) Keeping this thing on an icy road with the rear wheel drive teaches you something. Thank God I have a clutch.
I inherited my dads 05. it's an automatic but same crank windows and no power seats or mirrors. only has about 110k on it now. My son drives it. nothing major done to it. brakes. muffler.rear shocks. brake lines. ac compressor. radiator. Make sure you do the integrated radiator transmission cooler bypass so you don't get the pink milkshake transmission killer. search it here if you don't know about it.
@@u-know-thisI'm looking at a 03 Nissan Xterra 5spd and it's a 4cyl. Is it really as slow as people say? I'm not expecting a blazer but a little pep is nice. Also what does it cruise at 75mph on the highway?
I have a 2014 pro-4x. I absolutely love it. And ironically enough, I just had the crank sensor crap out on me 3 weeks ago. Replaced it along with the 2 cam sensors. Lost the bolt for the passenger cam sensor to the abyss. She runs like a dream again.
I love my 2006 2wd xterra, 4.0 L still runs good and drives good! 165,000 miles and still gets over 20 mpg on the highway! I’m gonna drive it till the wheels fall off, then I’m gonna put some more wheels on it, and keep driving it!! 😎
We have a 2007 Pathfinder that is on the same platform and engine. Ours is at 201,000 miles and does not use a drop of oil. The 4.0 is a great V6. Just make sure the radiator has been replaced/checked as they had a recall because they would crack and mix coolant with transmission oil.
VQ33DE and VQ35DE are good engines too on the Pathfinders. They have their quirks but I have an '03 Nissan Pathfinder SE and he VQ35DE is a gas hog (but has V8 power like hp/tq figures) but it's a SOLID engine and the transmission shifts like butter. Only thing I've had wrong with it is an oil cooler o-ring that caused pin hole oil leak (common issue but $10 to fix myself). It has 174k miles on it and I've seen folks with my gen Pathfinder (with 3.3 and 3.5 V6 engines) with 300k on them still running.
my 06 pathfinder got 300,000 miles on it ... got it from 30,900 miles . Still going strong , while my buddies have gone through 3 chevy tahoes aready all dead engines .. and he still haven't learn his lesson yet... only thing i hate about this car is it's a gas guzzler, but well worth it
Yeah I wouldn’t get anything American now a days but older ones would last a million with the same engine. But now a days for sure a Japanese engine will do that more of the time.
My son is an autotech. He bought one of these (2006) and it had the faulty timing chain tensioners at 60k. So, he immediately tore into the front end and replaced all chains/tensioners and just like you're saying, Xtera's are indestructible if you take care of them. He has a healthy commute so I know he's been putting the miles on this and I'm sure he'll trust it until at least 300K. The Xtera is about as dependable as the venerable 4Runner.
What's not to trust after 300k if you're the one doing the maintenance? I'll tell you what, I'm going to drive my 4runner until I'm no longer able to drive.
My aunt has a 2012 Xterra 6 speed stick with 700k zero problem, father had a 2004 5 speed stick sold with 400k and 3 years later the owner added an extra 50k without issues
Used to detail cars for a Saturn dealership right out of high school. Saw many of the early model cars that were drivin with 500,000-600,000 miles on them.
Have a 2005 with about 135000 miles. Second owner. Have had about 8years. As mentioned rides a little rough get about 20 mpg if I "try" probably 18 avg. Have plowed through 24" of snow. Use to haul firewood. Turns on a dime. Good work vehicle.
I have an 07 with the 6 speed manual transmission. I had it for 4 years and my son learned to drive stick in it. I replaced the catalytic converters and they are expensive but worth it if you are planning on keeping the vehicle for a long time.
I have a 2013 xterra pro 4x. Just serviced the manual transmission and diffs. It is a wonderful vehicle that is easy to work on. I did an old man emu lift and suspension kit and this thing is wonderful. I barely drive it and have just under 80k on it. I'll hold on to it for many years to come.
Had my silver 2003 XTerra for 20 years and it finally gave out this month - kinda embarrassing to be driving something for that long - but I just couldn't let go - was like a member of the family :D . I definitely got my money's worth and I feel lucky that I made a good decision way back when. The boxy look is where it's at.
Just sold my 07 X with 220k Miles and got a 4Runner. This video makes me miss the ole X but then I remember all the parts and labor I had to put into that thing to keep it running (like a new computer this past summer) and I am just glad to have a reliable vehicle again in Toyota!
Pay to repaire or pay toyota tax 😂 I love my xterra I paid 6k for 5 years ago but 100% have to fix somethings from time to time. But mostly the coolant lines. Engine and transmission work great. 4runners were my first choice but 6k doesn't get you much for one of those
For anybody that has this particular vehicle or it's sisters the pathfinder and frontier, make sure you do the integrated radiator transmission cooler bypass or you could end up destroying the transmission with the pink milkshake of death. I did for a while then upgraded to a better radiator. search on youtube if you haven't heard of it.
I have a 2005 Xterra automatic 2 WD with over 300,000 miles. The model is called Off Road. My daughter, who is a professional mechanic with her own shop, told me the main parts below (tranny etc) are plated. She never changed anything major since I bought it from my neighbor for $4000 except for an alternator here and brakes there. She religiously maintains it every 5,000 miles. I had to paint it last year because the original paint of many Nissans, specially in Florida where it is hot and wet, faded badly. I hope I can keep it until the 500,000 miles. The Nissan dealer I went to last week for parts for another Nissan vehicle my daughter is working on, told me he never sees Xterras traded in. Owners keep them. I told my daughter that Nissan would do well reintroducing a new special commemorative model or whatever so that we all can trade our older Xterras for a new one. "Dream on" she said!
Great Video Scotty! I'm the original owner of a 2006 Xterra S, AT 2WD and have driven it from Florida to California and all points in-between since I bought it nearly 17yrs ago (Sep '06). Had an aftermarket tow bar installed in 2011 for my move from Cali to Arkansas and it has towed what ever I've attached with no problems. There have been a few recalls which were taken care of but for some reason my VIN was not listed on the recall for the coolant leak into the transmission. I eventually did replace the transmission and radiator due to the coolant leaked into the transmission but not before 240K miles (2020). I do need to replace right side EGR system which I plan in the next month or so. I love my Xterra and plan to drive it as long as I can. Thanks for the videos!
Wow great video Scotty! You always have the most fascinating content! Seeing what a vehicle looks like after 500,000 miles is very interesting. It is incredible just how durable certain vehicles can be with the proper maintenance. Your advice is invaluable for anyone looking to make their car last for the long haul.
There are lots of good parts at junk yards. One night someone smashed the driver's window of my 97 T100. It is over two decades old and not that common a vehicle. But I got a replacement window at the local junk yard for $25 and the tint matches exactly. The worst part was vacuuming up all the little glass pieces.
the company that i work for has an 07 - 09 xterra AWD as a company/utility car and its the most safe vehicle that i would think of buying , yes is a gas hog , but in the region we drive it doesnt get stuck in the mud , or lacks speed , totally recomended truck :)
My aunt has 2001 Nissan Xterra. It has over 300000 miles. I've been in a early 90s path fiber and it had 400,000 miles. my neighbor had a 90s Pathfinder as well and I remembered she told me the AC went out after 20 years. Those Nissan's far surpasses quality of Toyota. All those cars were not maintained properly either. They are tanks
I have the 2017 frontier. Same as the xterra essentially. Went through a nasty rutted up dirt road and up a very steep incline in 4lo with the automatic locked in 1st. Never overheated and did great. Hardly a slip on a very wet and muddy incline. I do have a set of mudtires on it which help greatly to. Frontier with this drivetrain was made all the way up to 2019. You can get them used with super low miles still.
My dad has a 2008 Nissan Frontier with 190K miles. It has an automatic transmission that’s never been touched. It’s a shame they went to crap with Jatco. The only Nissans I’d ever buy now are their trucks!
My 2003 Nissan pathfinder is still trucking great after 300k miles. Just change the oil, some seals and a few sensors. Nothing major. Terrible gas mileage but my truck is reliable!
Just got back from a round trip drive between Dallas and Orlando in my 2008 Xterra with 195K miles. Most dependable vehicle I have ever owned. I keep up with general maintenance and changing fluids and the engine and transmission still perform like champions.
I have my second Nissan Xterra 2007 manual 4WD. Great vehicle I plan to run into the ground. With some recent work done it drives better and faster than ever.
I have a 12 Xterra and towed a 5000 lb camper from Missouri to Half moon bay California and back. Did well. I had to get a load leveling hitch and a trailer brake controller. 180k miles on it now bought it with 10 miles. Only issues is a P0335 and a P0420. New sensors and it was good to go. Need to replace cats though. Regardless i will probably keep that vehicle till it dies.
It's important to state that Nissan owns a third of Mitsubishi Motors. "Mitsubishi" per se is a group of companies with Mitshubishi Heavy Industries being the biggest (afair)
Man I wish they still made these. When I was looking for a car in 2020 (after not owning one for 12 years) I was really disappointed in the selection Honda got rid of the Element, Nissan stopped making the Xterra and Toyota stopped making the FJ Cruiser
Thanks Scotty I just bought a 05 Xterra 4x4 with 151k miles and base on what u said I think I got a great deal for $2,760 dollars mine drives great so far so good
My dad has a 07 2wd with 215K miles. I’ve been offering to buy it for years because he complains of the fuel economy. It’s got a rebuilt transmission at 160K miles. That thing is torquey and decent to drive. I’m going to be pretty upset when he sells it to someone else instead of me.
I have 365k on my 2007, paint peeling off (it’s white) common issue. Heater core blew, not sure I want to spend the $$ on the labor for a new one at this point, but I love this thing.
I had a 2004 Chevy Impala LS that we had for 18 years until it got T-Boned with 3.8 engine that Never had a Wrench on it--original Water Pump Alternator, etc. Did Replace Brake Pads and Rotors one Time but that's it. Best car that we have ever owned...
My 4.0 L, 6-speed, 6-cylinder Nissan Frontier, which is the exact same truck as the Xterra, lasted almost 300,000 miles before I got rid of it. The weakest part of that truck is the timing chain. They tend to go out around 170k 200k miles.
Which isn't that big of a deal. Most Toyota and Honda V6 engines have timing belts that need to be replaced every 100k miles, which isn't much cheaper than replacing a timing chain. So no big difference of having to replace a timing chain or timing belt.
@@NATEG01 A belt is made of rubber, and a chain is steel. Nissan used cheap components for its timing chain. There's a reason why Toyota went back to steel timing chains. They can last 400k miles.
@@theylied1776 Most previous Toyota models of Highlanders, 4runners, and Sequoias had timing belts that had to be replaced every 100k miles. My point being, if a timing chain breaks in a Nissan every 150-200k miles, it is no more expensive to fix than replacing a timing belt in a Toyota every 100k miles.
@@theylied1776 And btw, all Nissans / Infinitis I've owned have been better vehicles than all Toyotas and Lexus that I've owned. The worst car I've had is a Lexus.
2009 X with 168k....runs great just gettimg the P0303 code once a while, and noise pulley. Has always do a little rattle when acceleration but very low. Great SUV
The 4.0 liter v6 has some guts. Also on the 2005-2010 you should google SMOD and make sure you take appropriate action. And get your timing chain and guides replaced on schedule. Otherwise it’s a pretty good truck.
Junkyards are the dirty secret dealer parts departments don't want you to know. Many have vehicle inventory on their web site with row and space locations so you can enter the yard knowing where to search. Some will send you an email soon as the car you want enters the yard. And, learning how to remove a part (at a self serve yard) can teach you how to install it. The yard will cover any damage you might do. But try not to.
Owner of 2 XTerras since 2002. Not a chance i’m selling my 2015 XTerra Pro4x. Solid a a rock Reliable, fun to drive and good working truck also. Recommend hands down
I drive a 2005 Frontier 4wd crew cab with 250K miles on it and little things here and there pop up, but the sucker runs good and is great for hauling and 4wd off roading. I only put tires on it, brakes, struts, shocks, plugs, a few sensors from time to time, but even the AC works great.
My dad kept his 2001 Xterra for 18 years, 18 freakin years! He drove it like a maniac and beat the crap out of it doing handyman work. It was a very dependable SUV, no matter how much he abused it, the thing kept going. He managed to put well over 200,000 miles on it before he sold it a couple years back.
Crankshaft sensor failure is a very known and common easy fixing issue in Xterra/Pathfinder/Frontier world. In the other hand, please, change the O2 sensor or catalytic converter life span will shorten soon.
The earlier 2nd generation auto- trans models had issue with transmission failure.. transmission are good but trans cooler in radiator cracked. You end up with a mix of coolant and trans fluid in the transmission. I bypassed my radiator with a larger power steering cooler off a Nissan SUV from wrecking yard. The xterra also has additional trans-cooler. Good for towing. Mine has 128,000 on a,2005.4x4 Lifted with 285 16s. .
My 2001 Pathfinder has 264,000 miles on it, bought it from an in-law who never took care of it. Its V6 3.3L engine and transmission still run like new, I hope to get at least 200k more out of it 🤞🏻
Mine is nearing 100k. Bought it with 50 and did the other 50. I’m very happy with it made all my teenage off-roading dreams come true 😂 I actually wanna buy another 6sp and keep it stock cuz mine is modified and I plan on doing vk swap in the future. I love it both stock and moded.
Had a 2006. Big POS. I babied it. Oil pressure drops due to timing chain cover seals, automatic tranny slipping, electrical issues to name a few. Had to reroute tranny cooler lines to eliminate the ‘milkshake’ of death. Got rid of it and never going back to Nissan
That is a generic code with no simulation of the sensor, check the sensors values and signal to pinpoint and diagnose properly checking each wires continuity as well
A rwd Nissan with a traditional transmission is very damn close to a Toyota in durability and longevity. Pathfinder with body on frame and RWD is right up there with the 4Runner.
@@amandeepbaa6978 It is the direct rival, below the US we get them too, you get the armada, The Patrol is a fantastic monster, the Pathfinder and XTerras are used a lot too (the old oness) you can see them climbing dunes.
They have the peppiest self driving on the new ones I have ever seen. It doesn't just sort of roll it's eyes at you and start to go faster they really dig in!
Wouldn’t exactly say all Nissan fwd trannys were crap, the cvt hundred percent but the 4spd torque converter in the 90s and early 2000s and 5spd torque converter early 2000s-mid 2000s was a solid transmission, put it this way there’s a big difference between an early-late 2000s 4 and 5spd auto Honda tranny and really any Nissan torque converter.

Shopped for a used 4Runner back during the chip shortage. High mileage ones were insane prices. Looked for the next best thing. Scotty’s last Xterra video and Car Wizard’s Frontier review sold me so I picked up a ‘14 Xterra S 4x4 used with 90k. Now at 117k miles with just basic maintenance. She’s THIRSTY but I love my X.
im getting a 2014 pro 4x one! cant wait for it and the price for it is FAR better than a 2014 toyota 4runner/tacoma so its insane
@@pineappleoverlord9k462 FAR better and they can easily go 300k. Especially post 2011-2012ish when all the kinks were finally ironed out. Even if you needed to, it’d be easy to get new parts because that gen Frontier ran into the 2020s. You’ll love it.
Same story for me. After seeing reviews on both vehicles, I couldn’t justify paying so much for a slower vehicle. I love my X and will replace the engine or trans if I have to to keep it going.
I love how every time he mentions “junk yard” a gm dealership pops up in the top right corner, lol
I've had two Xterras, and just bought my third; it's 17 years old, with 164,000 miles on it. It has a plethora of computer codes showing up, one of them being the crank shaft sensor. It stalls out, just like this one did. I knew about this when I bought it, so why buy that headache? Simple: IT'S AN XTERRA!! I know what I'll have, after it's fixed, which is a BEAST that will carry me happily many, many more miles! ❤
If the crank sensor is giving problems, chances are the camshaft sensors will fail soon.
I'm a former Nissan tech (during the 2001-2003 era) and fell in love with the round headlight Xterras. I needed to replace a car fast late 2022 and had been eying up the newer Xterras as well as 4Runners. I got so much more vehicle with the X than I could have for the overpriced 4Runners. I found a 2011 Pro-4x in Night Armor gray locally with 140k on the clock and several performance mods. We had a record snowfall that winter, and with some new Nitto TerraGrappler tires that X tore it up! I have 185k on it now, and it has a couple repairs to do but I love it. Added a 2" lift with new Bilstein shocks, it looks amazing. I love this thing.
I love my Xterra!!!! She's just over 100,000 miles and she is my ride or die. I love this car. Does everything I need it to do! I can only hope and pray she last's to almost 500,000 miles!!!
So many people including Scotty are misinformed about Nissan reliability. Nissan has always made cars and trucks that last long. Just look up how long do Nissan engines last and look up how long do Toyota engine last, and do the same with Honda as well. Nissan engines and transmissions have out lasted Toyota and Honda. It’s a false reputation that people keep repeating. Nissan engines on average last 300k Toyotas last 250k look them up. I’m a mechanic and I also drive a 2001 Xterra v6 for the last 23 years. I have 449k miles on it, it still runs great, over 95% of the parts are original including the drive train, and AC system, all power windows.
Hi, do you recommend the 2005 Nissan Xterra al wheel drive?
@@ianc279they're great cars. 2000-2001 was first gen 2002-2004 was first gen face lift. You could get either a 2.4L 4 cylinder 5 speed or a 3.3 Sohc v6 5 speed manual or 4 speed auto. Both transmission options are AWESOME. Don't expect to tow the best, but you could.
As for 2005-2015, those are second generation Xterras. People consider 2010 and later to be a "facelift" 2nd gen. Between 2005 and 2009, the Xterras (now with only a 4.0 V6 available) have an issue with their radiators. The fluid used in the automatic equipped Xterras can experience something called SMOD (strawberry milkshake of death). The fluid will corrode the internals of the radiator away causing the ATF and coolant to mix and destroy the transmission.
This being said, the 2010-2015's are much more recommended to buy, but the 2005-2009 are great assuming you are willing to install a new radiator, and an external transmission cooler thus mitigating the need for the radiator transmission cooler as this is much much safer.
All of this can be avoided if you get a 2005-2015 with a manual 6 speed.
Fun fact, the second generation Xterras equipped with a manual transmission have a button that allows you to start the car in gear so you can crawl up a hill before having to use the throttle so you can crawl, even though it's a manual. I believe it's called the clutch override switch
I have a 2006 350z 206k miles....2006 Xterra 105k miles. My 350z was a track toy and autocross car. All original engine. Still will put you back in your seat at a stop light. Great cars, awesome engineering under both hoods.
Datsuns would rust out, just like early Toyotas. Datsuns reputation got so bad they changed the name.
@@kensisson7593 They used the Datsun name over here so that they didn't ruin their Nissan name in case the brand was a flop. Their brand wasn't a flop so they changed to their original name.
The Toyotas were far worse at rusting than Nissan. They were equal when it came to engine and transmission reliability at that time though
307k miles on my 2006 Xterra. Original owner and she hasn’t been babied. Great off-road/overland rig.
I've got nearly 300,000 mi on my '06 Xterra right now. I bought it about 5 years ago off of a guy that never took care of it. Its actually been pretty reliable. The only problems I've had is the rear axle broke because the rear diff seal blew out because of a clogged breather and needed to be replaced, the catalytic converters clogged up so I needed to remove those, and the valve cover on the passenger side started leaking so I replaced both. Since I've owned it I've put in a new fuel pump, new brakes, calipers and rotors, new spark plugs and coils, new tires, and that's about it. Still runs great with a minor oil leak that I can find, still has very good power, and it's never left me stuck in the snow or mud.
A common oil leak on these is the oil cooler gasket. No big deal to fix if that is the problem.
FRONTIER with an SUV Body! Nissan's answer to The 4RUNNER!
But Renault hates making money so they stopped making it
My xterra is almost 300,000 miles. Original owner. Original tranny, and engine. Basic maintenance on schedule

Traded in my 2013 Prius for a 2012 Xterra. Fantastic vehicle, really glad it’s Scotty approved 🙏
Much difference in gas mileage compared to Prius...
@@randybeard6040 came to say the same. I just did a road trip all highway and got about 18mpg. Worth it
How is it doing now? Is it a rear wheel drive?
I got my Nissan Frontier new in 2013, put over 254,000 miles on it so far and it's still going strong with very few things ever needed repair.
My 06 Xterra off-road has 185,000 miles on it, this video made me appreciate it even more 👍🏼
Keep it.. my neighbor has one and it never breaks down or needs work. I'm out here fixing my beaters constantly and have a little envy.
I'm looking at an 05 x with 200k 6spd tomorrow
@@jpadilla0515 nice.... My dad had one of them when I was young & still think that it is one of the coolest SUV's out there.
I have a 2011 xterra pro 4x. I routinely take it off road for hard to access camping, long road trips for fishing. 200k miles on it and not a single issue yet. Just regular maintenance!
I have an 07 Xterra X with a standard transmission and no options. Even has crank windows. I didn’t want any dumb stuff that would break. It has been such a resilient vehicle and runs great. It has taught me so much about cars and I take great care of it. It only has 210k miles on it, but when I get to 500k I’m bringing it to Scotty to make a video.
I have an 02 xterra 150 k miles manual that has a carburetor lol 4 cylinder had it 8 years bought it for 5k. Best low maintenance car i have ever bought just oil changes. Everything is manual including the engine
This issue is normally the sensor. I have had the same problem with all my v6 nissan and infiniti vehicles. Change it and probably change all of them. They all go out around the same time
So true, it has taught me above all how to drive a car :) Keeping this thing on an icy road with the rear wheel drive teaches you something. Thank God I have a clutch.
I inherited my dads 05. it's an automatic but same crank windows and no power seats or mirrors. only has about 110k on it now. My son drives it. nothing major done to it. brakes. muffler.rear shocks. brake lines. ac compressor. radiator. Make sure you do the integrated radiator transmission cooler bypass so you don't get the pink milkshake transmission killer. search it here if you don't know about it.
@@u-know-thisI'm looking at a 03 Nissan Xterra 5spd and it's a 4cyl. Is it really as slow as people say? I'm not expecting a blazer but a little pep is nice. Also what does it cruise at 75mph on the highway?
I have a 2014 pro-4x. I absolutely love it. And ironically enough, I just had the crank sensor crap out on me 3 weeks ago. Replaced it along with the 2 cam sensors. Lost the bolt for the passenger cam sensor to the abyss. She runs like a dream again.
How much all of this cost you?
I love my 2006 2wd xterra, 4.0 L still runs good and drives good! 165,000 miles and still gets over 20 mpg on the highway! I’m gonna drive it till the wheels fall off, then I’m gonna put some more wheels on it, and keep driving it!! 😎
We have a 2007 Pathfinder that is on the same platform and engine. Ours is at 201,000 miles and does not use a drop of oil. The 4.0 is a great V6. Just make sure the radiator has been replaced/checked as they had a recall because they would crack and mix coolant with transmission oil.
I did the radiator bypass on my 2007 since it has the separate transmission cooler.
VQ33DE and VQ35DE are good engines too on the Pathfinders. They have their quirks but I have an '03 Nissan Pathfinder SE and he VQ35DE is a gas hog (but has V8 power like hp/tq figures) but it's a SOLID engine and the transmission shifts like butter. Only thing I've had wrong with it is an oil cooler o-ring that caused pin hole oil leak (common issue but $10 to fix myself). It has 174k miles on it and I've seen folks with my gen Pathfinder (with 3.3 and 3.5 V6 engines) with 300k on them still running.
Does pathfinder have a rear wheel drive transmission?
The 2012 and older ones do.@@cyrusIIIII
my 06 pathfinder got 300,000 miles on it ... got it from 30,900 miles . Still going strong , while my buddies have gone through 3 chevy tahoes aready all dead engines .. and he still haven't learn his lesson yet... only thing i hate about this car is it's a gas guzzler, but well worth it
Automatic? 2.5 diesel?
Older tahoes are bulletproof.... pre 2004
Yeah I wouldn’t get anything American now a days but older ones would last a million with the same engine. But now a days for sure a Japanese engine will do that more of the time.
The 4.0 is no joke. Full frame including the Frontier.

My son is an autotech. He bought one of these (2006) and it had the faulty timing chain tensioners at 60k. So, he immediately tore into the front end and replaced all chains/tensioners and just like you're saying, Xtera's are indestructible if you take care of them. He has a healthy commute so I know he's been putting the miles on this and I'm sure he'll trust it until at least 300K. The Xtera is about as dependable as the venerable 4Runner.
What's not to trust after 300k if you're the one doing the maintenance? I'll tell you what, I'm going to drive my 4runner until I'm no longer able to drive.
My aunt has a 2012 Xterra 6 speed stick with 700k zero problem, father had a 2004 5 speed stick sold with 400k and 3 years later the owner added an extra 50k without issues
Scotty is the type of person to say "rev up your engines" in his intro, then proceed to tell you why revving your engine is bad for your car
Used to detail cars for a Saturn dealership right out of high school. Saw many of the early model cars that were drivin with 500,000-600,000 miles on them.
Have a 2005 with about 135000 miles. Second owner. Have had about 8years. As mentioned rides a little rough get about 20 mpg if I "try" probably 18 avg. Have plowed through 24" of snow. Use to haul firewood. Turns on a dime. Good work vehicle.
I have an 07 with the 6 speed manual transmission. I had it for 4 years and my son learned to drive stick in it. I replaced the catalytic converters and they are expensive but worth it if you are planning on keeping the vehicle for a long time.
One long time friend got 376,000 out of his XTerra
Wished he’d hung onto it , as it was a way better car than the one he got to replace it
It’s the radiator you have to watch out for with these and engine coolant getting into the car’s transmission, especially 05-10 Xterras.
Was the issue mitigated in the 2011+ models?
Mine had a bad rotten radiator 33,000 miles on it. 08 Xterra. No antifreeze mix yet.
@@Amokof yes. I have a 2011 and had to do a lot of research on this. Apparently it was fixed in 2010
I have a 2013 xterra pro 4x. Just serviced the manual transmission and diffs. It is a wonderful vehicle that is easy to work on. I did an old man emu lift and suspension kit and this thing is wonderful. I barely drive it and have just under 80k on it. I'll hold on to it for many years to come.
Had my silver 2003 XTerra for 20 years and it finally gave out this month - kinda embarrassing to be driving something for that long - but I just couldn't let go - was like a member of the family :D . I definitely got my money's worth and I feel lucky that I made a good decision way back when. The boxy look is where it's at.
My X only has 128K on the odometer; after a few repairs I needed to get done it runs like a dream; I love it!
Just sold my 07 X with 220k Miles and got a 4Runner. This video makes me miss the ole X but then I remember all the parts and labor I had to put into that thing to keep it running (like a new computer this past summer) and I am just glad to have a reliable vehicle again in Toyota!
Pay to repaire or pay toyota tax 😂 I love my xterra I paid 6k for 5 years ago but 100% have to fix somethings from time to time. But mostly the coolant lines. Engine and transmission work great. 4runners were my first choice but 6k doesn't get you much for one of those
For anybody that has this particular vehicle or it's sisters the pathfinder and frontier, make sure you do the integrated radiator transmission cooler bypass or you could end up destroying the transmission with the pink milkshake of death. I did for a while then upgraded to a better radiator. search on youtube if you haven't heard of it.
This man has saved me so much money 💰 Thank you scotty!!!
That's one Nissan I'd love to have. I'd also go for an older Pathfinder, too! Body-on-frame is the only way to go!
Just bought a Xterra today and i love it ! hopefully she treats me right
I have a 2005 Xterra automatic 2 WD with over 300,000 miles. The model is called Off Road. My daughter, who is a professional mechanic with her own shop, told me the main parts below (tranny etc) are plated. She never changed anything major since I bought it from my neighbor for $4000 except for an alternator here and brakes there. She religiously maintains it every 5,000 miles. I had to paint it last year because the original paint of many Nissans, specially in Florida where it is hot and wet, faded badly. I hope I can keep it until the 500,000 miles. The Nissan dealer I went to last week for parts for another Nissan vehicle my daughter is working on, told me he never sees Xterras traded in. Owners keep them. I told my daughter that Nissan would do well reintroducing a new special commemorative model or whatever so that we all can trade our older Xterras for a new one. "Dream on" she said!
I got a Nissan 2002 Xterra runs better I think it runs better than a brand new Bronco
Why would you trade a older version for a new one? Because of techs? Most old car last longer than most newer car nowadays.
I have an 04 Xterra with 235000 still going strong,fun to drive too.3.3 automatic 2wd
Great Video Scotty! I'm the original owner of a 2006 Xterra S, AT 2WD and have driven it from Florida to California and all points in-between since I bought it nearly 17yrs ago (Sep '06). Had an aftermarket tow bar installed in 2011 for my move from Cali to Arkansas and it has towed what ever I've attached with no problems. There have been a few recalls which were taken care of but for some reason my VIN was not listed on the recall for the coolant leak into the transmission. I eventually did replace the transmission and radiator due to the coolant leaked into the transmission but not before 240K miles (2020). I do need to replace right side EGR system which I plan in the next month or so. I love my Xterra and plan to drive it as long as I can. Thanks for the videos!
How many miles is on it.. ? Just curious I'm buying one with 220 so I'm 😓
At 6:09 Scotty talks about getting parts from a junkyard- pops up image of Chevy dealership. Comedy Gold!
Wow great video Scotty! You always have the most fascinating content! Seeing what a vehicle looks like after 500,000 miles is very interesting. It is incredible just how durable certain vehicles can be with the proper maintenance. Your advice is invaluable for anyone looking to make their car last for the long haul.
There are lots of good parts at junk yards. One night someone smashed the driver's window of my 97 T100. It is over two decades old and not that common a vehicle. But I got a replacement window at the local junk yard for $25 and the tint matches exactly. The worst part was vacuuming up all the little glass pieces.
Best purchase I’ve ever made. Just paid my 2015 pro4x off only have 77k miles on it, don’t plan on buying a new vehicle for a decade
My 2002 Nissan Xterra xe has 300,700 mile no major problems ever great work truck
the company that i work for has an 07 - 09 xterra AWD as a company/utility car and its the most safe vehicle that i would think of buying , yes is a gas hog , but in the region we drive it doesnt get stuck in the mud , or lacks speed , totally recomended truck :)
Hi Scotty I have a Nissan Pathfinder 2001 3.5 LE in northern Mexico, it works very well, greetings to all
My aunt has 2001 Nissan Xterra. It has over 300000 miles. I've been in a early 90s path fiber and it had 400,000 miles. my neighbor had a 90s Pathfinder as well and I remembered she told me the AC went out after 20 years. Those Nissan's far surpasses quality of Toyota. All those cars were not maintained properly either. They are tanks
Same happened to my 2008 pathfinder, new sensor and now it's all good 👍
Guy is so knowledgeable about this stuff. Always good to learn. Great stuff.
I have the 2017 frontier. Same as the xterra essentially. Went through a nasty rutted up dirt road and up a very steep incline in 4lo with the automatic locked in 1st. Never overheated and did great. Hardly a slip on a very wet and muddy incline. I do have a set of mudtires on it which help greatly to. Frontier with this drivetrain was made all the way up to 2019. You can get them used with super low miles still.
My dad has a 2008 Nissan Frontier with 190K miles. It has an automatic transmission that’s never been touched. It’s a shame they went to crap with Jatco. The only Nissans I’d ever buy now are their trucks!
My 2003 Nissan pathfinder is still trucking great after 300k miles. Just change the oil, some seals and a few sensors. Nothing major. Terrible gas mileage but my truck is reliable!
Just got back from a round trip drive between Dallas and Orlando in my 2008 Xterra with 195K miles. Most dependable vehicle I have ever owned. I keep up with general maintenance and changing fluids and the engine and transmission still perform like champions.
I have my second Nissan Xterra 2007 manual 4WD. Great vehicle I plan to run into the ground. With some recent work done it drives better and faster than ever.
I have a 12 Xterra and towed a 5000 lb camper from Missouri to Half moon bay California and back. Did well. I had to get a load leveling hitch and a trailer brake controller. 180k miles on it now bought it with 10 miles. Only issues is a P0335 and a P0420. New sensors and it was good to go. Need to replace cats though. Regardless i will probably keep that vehicle till it dies.
2015 XTerra 35K 2wd love it Had a 2000 loved it
I have 655,000+ on my 2004 Nissan Xterra
That’s awesome! Are you the original owner?
im a 2001 xterra owner. thats a lot of gas bro
Scott, Renault is setting Nissan free. They reduced their share stake from 45% to 15%. I also learned Nissan actually owns Mitsubishi.
Bad move
Good for Nissan!
It's important to state that Nissan owns a third of Mitsubishi Motors. "Mitsubishi" per se is a group of companies with Mitshubishi Heavy Industries being the biggest (afair)
@@zubiac exactly
Hmm interesting
Man I wish they still made these. When I was looking for a car in 2020 (after not owning one for 12 years) I was really disappointed in the selection Honda got rid of the Element, Nissan stopped making the Xterra and Toyota stopped making the FJ Cruiser
If you need a Jap ride then look at the Nissan pro4x trucks- probably what you’re looking for
So Just buy a Used one that has been well maintained
Thanks Scotty I just bought a 05 Xterra 4x4 with 151k miles and base on what u said I think I got a great deal for $2,760 dollars mine drives great so far so good
My dad has a 07 2wd with 215K miles. I’ve been offering to buy it for years because he complains of the fuel economy. It’s got a rebuilt transmission at 160K miles. That thing is torquey and decent to drive. I’m going to be pretty upset when he sells it to someone else instead of me.
I have 365k on my 2007, paint peeling off (it’s white) common issue. Heater core blew, not sure I want to spend the $$ on the labor for a new one at this point, but I love this thing.
I had a 2004 Chevy Impala LS that we had for 18 years until it got T-Boned with 3.8 engine that Never had a Wrench on it--original Water Pump Alternator, etc. Did Replace Brake Pads and Rotors one Time but that's it. Best car that we have ever owned...
My 4.0 L, 6-speed, 6-cylinder Nissan Frontier, which is the exact same truck as the Xterra, lasted almost 300,000 miles before I got rid of it. The weakest part of that truck is the timing chain. They tend to go out around 170k 200k miles.
Thank you for letting us know. How much could we be looking to pay for such job? Just so I can keep it in mind when its time.
Which isn't that big of a deal. Most Toyota and Honda V6 engines have timing belts that need to be replaced every 100k miles, which isn't much cheaper than replacing a timing chain. So no big difference of having to replace a timing chain or timing belt.
@@NATEG01 A belt is made of rubber, and a chain is steel. Nissan used cheap components for its timing chain. There's a reason why Toyota went back to steel timing chains. They can last 400k miles.
@@theylied1776 Most previous Toyota models of Highlanders, 4runners, and Sequoias had timing belts that had to be replaced every 100k miles. My point being, if a timing chain breaks in a Nissan every 150-200k miles, it is no more expensive to fix than replacing a timing belt in a Toyota every 100k miles.
@@theylied1776 And btw, all Nissans / Infinitis I've owned have been better vehicles than all Toyotas and Lexus that I've owned. The worst car I've had is a Lexus.
2009 X with 168k....runs great just gettimg the P0303 code once a while, and noise pulley. Has always do a little rattle when acceleration but very low. Great SUV
The 4.0 liter v6 has some guts. Also on the 2005-2010 you should google SMOD and make sure you take appropriate action. And get your timing chain and guides replaced on schedule. Otherwise it’s a pretty good truck.
LOVE MY TITAN!
A salvage yard is a best friend.
I love my 2006 Xterra, solar yellow
Junkyards are the dirty secret dealer parts departments don't want you to know. Many have vehicle inventory on their web site with row and space locations so you can enter the yard knowing where to search. Some will send you an email soon as the car you want enters the yard. And, learning how to remove a part (at a self serve yard) can teach you how to install it. The yard will cover any damage you might do. But try not to.
I love the xterra, mine is getting its ac worked on right now. It was my dream car in HS and i finally got one
Amazing knowledge and funnier than heck. You are awesome mechanic and know all the ins and outs of any vehicles. 😊
Owner of 2 XTerras since 2002.

Recommend hands down
I drive a 2005 Frontier 4wd crew cab with 250K miles on it and little things here and there pop up, but the sucker runs good and is great for hauling and 4wd off roading. I only put tires on it, brakes, struts, shocks, plugs, a few sensors from time to time, but even the AC works great.
My dad kept his 2001 Xterra for 18 years, 18 freakin years! He drove it like a maniac and beat the crap out of it doing handyman work. It was a very dependable SUV, no matter how much he abused it, the thing kept going. He managed to put well over 200,000 miles on it before he sold it a couple years back.
That chevy junkyard part was hilarious
Nissan vq engines are legendary.
Crankshaft sensor failure is a very known and common easy fixing issue in Xterra/Pathfinder/Frontier world.
In the other hand, please, change the O2 sensor or catalytic converter life span will shorten soon.
We have a Titan and a Frontier. So far so good. I’ll keep an eye on the odometer on the Frontier - it has the 4.0 liter six.
cam and crank sensors are very common on these. simply replace them all with oem or hitachi sensors and you are done for a LONG time
I have a 2nd gen 2010 with 90k miles and it runs great . It gets up pretty quickly.
The earlier 2nd generation auto- trans models had issue with transmission failure.. transmission are good but trans cooler in radiator cracked. You end up with a mix of coolant and trans fluid in the transmission. I bypassed my radiator with a larger power steering cooler off a Nissan SUV from wrecking yard. The xterra also has additional trans-cooler. Good for towing. Mine has 128,000 on a,2005.4x4 Lifted with 285 16s. .
My 2001 Pathfinder has 264,000 miles on it, bought it from an in-law who never took care of it. Its V6 3.3L engine and transmission still run like new, I hope to get at least 200k more out of it 🤞🏻
Mine is nearing 100k. Bought it with 50 and did the other 50. I’m very happy with it made all my teenage off-roading dreams come true 😂 I actually wanna buy another 6sp and keep it stock cuz mine is modified and I plan on doing vk swap in the future. I love it both stock and moded.
Had a 2006. Big POS. I babied it. Oil pressure drops due to timing chain cover seals, automatic tranny slipping, electrical issues to name a few. Had to reroute tranny cooler lines to eliminate the ‘milkshake’ of death. Got rid of it and never going back to Nissan
My neighbor has one and it’s holding up very well, (200k miles) he takes good care of it, keeps it in the garage, Florida car.
That is a generic code with no simulation of the sensor, check the sensors values and signal to pinpoint and diagnose properly checking each wires continuity as well
2005 standard with 326,000. New clutch at 304,000. Timing chain tensioners too….that was a hell of a job. Great vehicle I love it!!
A rwd Nissan with a traditional transmission is very damn close to a Toyota in durability and longevity.
Pathfinder with body on frame and RWD is right up there with the 4Runner.
Actually better than Toyota looking at value for money.

I still have my 91 Nissan, 2 seat, 5spd manual trans, garaged, runs GREAT, Z32.
2 of the 5 greatest mistakes in my life involve selling Nissan trucks
One, a 92 4cyc truck (5spd) with 200+K miles and an Xterra.
Wouldn’t exactly say all Nissan fwd trannys were crap, the cvt hundred percent but the 4spd torque converter in the 90s and early 2000s and 5spd torque converter early 2000s-mid 2000s was a solid transmission, put it this way there’s a big difference between an early-late 2000s 4 and 5spd auto Honda tranny and really any Nissan torque converter.
Four-wheel drive no matter who make some can and do get stuck even with off-road tires. The key is how you drive it
