2013 Nissan Xterra PRO-4X Muddy Off-Road Colorado Review (Part 1)
Vložit
- čas přidán 15. 08. 2024
- ( www.TFLcar.com ) The 2013 Nissan Xterra PRO-4X is a very off-road worthy traditional SUV. In other words it is not one of those new fangled crossovers. Instead it has a traditional body on frame design with a normally aspirated powerful V6 engine. And since we are testing the top of the line PRO-4X Xterra, we also get all of the good off-road bits like stiffer shocks and underbody protection. In another fun and informative TFLcar off-road review we take the 2013 Nissan Xterra PRO-4X up to the top of our off-road trail deep in t he Colorado Rocky Mountains. How does the 2013 Nissan Xterra PRO-4X do when the road turns rocky muddy and steep? Just watch this video to find out.

It is to bad that Nissan as elected to discontinue the X. But truth be told I would rather she die than be bastardized into some CUV.
+GeeBigSup Like the Pathy?
+William Ahlers lol the new pathfinder is so ugly... it looks just like all the other 1000 new "car utility vehicles"
Nah they're only discontinuing in the US, everywhere else including Canada still has it
they even first teased that the prado might come to the states or at least build a pathfinder or armada based on it....yeah nope it got even worse, hell the juke RS could probably best it off road lol
Out of Canada too.
7 years and it is that good....I have a 2011, mountains, snow, its all good !
"The front is an independent rear suspension"
You heard it here folks! :P
*laughs in Pontiac fiero*
"If it had a manual transmission I'd buy it, since it doesn't, I'd say lease it". The Xterra comes in both 5-speed automatic as well as a 6-speed manual. Also, I'm surprised you guys didn't mention any of the features the Pro4X comes with like a locking rear diff and the hill descent control. In fact, you didnt talk about ANY of the features of this rig.
Amatuers...lol
It's cringe. They didn't talk about the factory 1" lift or the Bilstein shocks. Like you said they didn't mention the locking rear diff or hill descent. They didn't show 10% of what this vehicle is capable of.
Like most of us Americans, the only Nissans that they know about are a 370Z or GT-R...It would shock a lot of USA off road boys to learn that oversea, the Nissan Patrol is second ONLY to the Land Cruiser in ability and numbers, and actually outperforms the LC in the desert!!!...There are more than just Jeeps out there guys....
@@freedomrider266 Yeah and in the states the Xterra is the FJ Cruiser's competition. I'd love patrols here, but I'd also love if you guys had Xterras there, I think the Navara guys would appreciate them at least.
My xterra currently has a Nissan Titan front IFS suspension and diff swapped in. live.staticflickr.com/65535/50212511237_90fa78031b_h.jpg
They're too busy working the comedy routine
I have a 2002 4x4 and I drive it on rough terrain most of the time, everything still original on it I just maintain it properly and this thing is a beast crawling up these mountains where I live, even the paint still original and very shiny...
The best off road vehicle I currently own, sitting on 31s. I’ve jumped it. Climbed in the snow. Just banged the crap out of it. Still rides great
But I don’t recommend air time.
I have a 2005 Xterra. Have done many off road trips like this. Blow 4-Runner and Jeep out of the water!
Good review 👍 hope Nissan starts making them again soon maybe when new 2021 ++ frontier comes out ???
We have the 2012 s version and it works awesomely!!!!
I am a young guy, but i've had a lot of special cars. The Xterra is still my favorite of them all. Its tough, capable, reliable as hell, and doesn't complain about anything.
Great relic!
You said if it had a MT buy it. You never mentioned that the Pro-4X is offered with a 6spd manual. I have one. Love it.
7:47 Did he said the front was an "independent rear" suspension?
Did anyone else notice how he checked the coin at 6:57, then casually dropped it to get another shot at landing on "heads"? My guess is it was on "tails" when he checked his wrist. We used do do that in elementary school if the coin toss didn't go our way.
i've used the "heads I win tails you lose" trick a few times, too. its actually worked.
Kudos to Nathan for the Pontiac, MI shirt!
I am so happy seeing you here 7 years younger.
This video is so old, Tommy was sitting in back in a child seat.
Lock rear differential, at the end of video very handy.
We miss this fun SUV
Dude, my ebike could do that trail! But so could my 06 Off Road Xterra. Fun review thanks!
There is a local group in SW Missouri, they really test these! I like the review, and always watch your reviews. I was real close to having my wife buy one of these as her vehicle. Instead we purchased a highlander, and am impressed. I saw the SW Missouri group do some trails in their area, and ever since then, I wanted one. Power windows, locks, and that much power!
I mean Toyota FJ cruiser Ford Bronco& Sport yup I want the Xterra!
Ha, I just saw this, I know this is from a few years ago Nathan, but the front doesn't have an independent rear suspension Lol! No worries, just busting your chops. Your videos have definitely come up over the years.
Thanks a lot! Yes, please - give me some ideas! There is one thing: we use this trail (the Left Hand Canyon ORV trail) because it is our measuring stick for "basic" off road driving. Sure, we could go and do serious boulder-bashing, but that would take us away from a trail we can ascertain the basic characteristics of the vehicle at hand. We use the same location because we know it and know the various levels of ability needed for each vehicle. Still, I'm always game for a new ORV trail. Thanks!
Pro-4X package is quite a bargain. You get rear view backup camera, navigation, bluetooth, much better audio than base version. I even consider it as everyday car.
I bought a nissan frontier pro-4x with a manual. Worth every penny
People that dismiss this Xterra favoring the FJ I think they over simplify life. This Xterra is way more comfortable in long journeys and in city. It drives almost like a sedan, in my opinion. This is a no nonsense car. It got all you want to have in a car, and yes, it can go off road as any unmodified jeep wrangler. The only complaint is the fuel MPG... bad. All Nissan cars have bad MPG. And yes, they are not pretty. But yes, they are comfortable compared to Toyotas.
Take the sun glases off when taking to the camera.
Did he call the front an "independent rear suspension" ?
I have gyno in my balls
4 actual doors for starters, and its one of the best priced truck based SUV's on the market for what you get! and definitely not underpowered. The VQ40 has plenty of power for the size of the Xterra.
Approach/break over/departure still better than the new Colorado ZR2
these cars never change!
yes !! love the off road reviews !! how about the 2014 4runner !
You didn't show the frame is so damn heavy duty on those.
Thank you guys! I wanted so much to see a new review of the Xterra. I love this car and it´s off road capabilities. I hope the on road review for this Xterra would be more detailed on features. And Nathan should take his kids for a long ride in the back seat just to tell us how comfortable they were.
31k.. amazing. Wranglers and trucks today are 45-50k
I own a 2004 2.8 turbo diesel 5 speed manual ,hi And low Xterra ,I love it
Great video guys, when you guys do the reviews for alot of the suvs or crossovers, can you address blindspots and rear vision.
This car is absolutely badass
Nissan exterior is awesome
Little better than jeep wrangler unlimited‘s in Rubicon and Jk
As always great and fun review! The back ground music is also great!
Thanks for reviewing this vehicle. Your Moab review first turned my attention to this 4WD and I am really excited to hear your thoughts during tomorrows on-road review. I've been looking at buying a 4WD for a while and the Xterra PRO-4X seems to the favorite. The other two in this field (FJ and Jeep Wrangler) are good but each have some limitations/drawbacks. Love both the channels. Thanks!!!!!
Love the review guys, and love the truck
Manual trim comes with Dana44, Auto does not. Also has rear Lockers.(both auto and manual)
Nothing beats the big mud hole in the Sorento!!!
Jeeps have had 4 cylinder engines over the years, but none that were Fords. Over the years they did use some GM and even Audi 4 cylinders and even a Renault 4 cylinder diesel, but no Pinto motors. Not that it would have been a bad thing. The Ford 2.3 was a good engine and is still in widespread use in various motorsports classes across the country.
I love my pinto and my titan swapped frontier
Pinto jokes. Never gets old lol
I remember the first pinto when it came to the new world along with the Nina and Santa Maria.
I agree with some comments, show more off road, complete view of the road. You guys are pretty good! Also different topic nissan customer service does suck
Just bought an 03 4X4 with the supercharged VG33 as a project car today. Picked it up for $800, couldn't pass it up!!
yea idk but the side air bag deployment problem unless fixed is a deal breaker
I have an Xterra off road and I prefer the Auto over the manual trany, I feel it does better off road.
If u noticed nissan dosent redesign there cars that often
The last good old SUV !!!
You guys should do a throwback review of the 2005-2012 Nissan pathfinder. Great SUV.
I'm waiting for them to do just that.
At least it has decent head room.
You guys should make a offroad adventuring test between mercedez benz amg g63, nissan xterra, toyota land cruiser, toyota tacoma, jeep wrangler, toyota fj cruiser, land rover lr4 and maybe the ford f-150 raptor This is just proposals.
ranger.. :-D
Hey lets not leave out a 98 Pathfinder ;)
"Slo mo mud time" FAIL! Sorry but laaaaaaame review of a great vehicle.
I am not an off-road guy, unless you count the driveway, but it sounds like a diesel with its good low end grunt would be the best choice for off-roading, esp. for the low speed rock hopping.
Yes it does and we're about to test the newest one in a few days. Stay tuned!
I'm 16, just got a new Xterra and I absolutely love it. Even though I would rather have a Jeep (who wouldn't) and I HATE Japanese cars. But, like my parents said, I'll get what they buy and I will like it. And I do. Mine is white 2012 xterra x with black rims. Sexy
You guys haven't challenged this vehicle at all, I want see this vehicle going up the cliffhanger.
Great video guys. Love your stuff
That was smooth Roman. Letting the quarter "accidentally" fall off your hand ;) lol
The issue with nissan you cannot get Original Nissan parts to buy at the dealer. Earlier models, parts are discontinued.
Nathan, did you give it only a lease it because this particular xterra was automatic, or because they don't come with a manual at all? Because they are definitely available with a 6-speed standard. Either way, great video guys! Love the off road reviews.
which is better a new 2013 nissan xterra pro-4x or used 2010 hummer h3 alpha
Yeah i heard Nissan is having problems with these engines something about coolant leaking into the transmission or something like that. The frontier pickup has the same engine too. I wish Nissan would make these direct injected and redesign both these vehicles
it's almost identical/competes with the Toyota 4Runner, how could you miss that?
thelocustemperor Xterra is a Compact SUV. 4Runner is a Midsize SUV. That's why they compared it to the FJ. Know what you're talking about before trying to call someone out.
you think the xterra is compact...?
endocry Does this car look compact in ANY WAY to you? 😳
yea a stock first gen xterra is the same length and only 3" wider than a focus of the same period. 4" SHORTER than a modern forrester and 1" skinnier. i offroaded one for thousands of miles. put ~$300 into it (not including your 32" tires) and lose the mudflaps, step rails, and sway bars and go almost anywhere.
The xTerra and Frontier are due for an upgrade... I just really hope they don't totally mess em up like they did the Pathfinder.
Yea, I was trying to say, "The front is an independent suspension, UNLIKE the rear." Come on, I was teetering and excited. Even I make mistakes.
Not mentioned in the review, the 4.0 is a stroked version of the 3.5L, and it's got a low range transfer case. That combo typically works well for both on-road and off-road without being a tractor on the road. Still, a modern diesel might be nice. They are always heavy and expensive though.
Are Nissan ever going to update this car? This is the 9th model year. It has fuel economy, transmission, gearbox and in car tech lifted straight from 2005.
which is good...look what happened to the pathfinder when it changed. Turned into a POS 4 door mini van
That's a pretty tame trail. 4 wheel drive not even necessary.
I've done harder trails in my minivan.
LOL, I know what you meant :) Just had to poke a little fun. Was a good video, and demonstrates the downside to IFS.
So here's my questions, would you rather have the Xterra pro4x or the wrangler unlimited sahara? And then if you threw in xterra pro4x or the wrangler unlimited rubion? Would your answer still be the same? I have struggled between which of these 2 vehicles to get. I am a jeep owner, and lover. But the xterra is a little more comfy, and maybe better mpg?
I took it to Moab. It was able to hang with a Jeep Unlimited Sahara - everywhere it went. YOU bring the minivan and prove me wrong. Get it on video and you'll get $100.
Couple things.. This does come in a 6 speed manual...
And this doesnt need a off road bumper to hit moab...
Check out the National Xterra Meet and goneMOAB for a great time off roading the Xterra
-_- the Pro4X Xterra does have a rear locking diff. The button is by the 4wd nob
Like the off road trail ,nothing else
My question is which system has the best rear-visibility? I thought the FJ Cruiser was poor at that, Jeep Wrangler was fine - but this? Is there a rear-cam or ????? Locking diff’s? And while my Pinto might not make this, remember, didn’t Jeep use the Pinto engine at one time?
its looks just like its suppose t look, or do you want them to get rid of the frame like pathfinder?
i always liked this truck
I wanna see nathan reviewing the corvette
Nathan, I have owned a total 4 Xterras (own an Xterra S now) from 2008-2012. I lived in Colorado for over 13 years and wheeled just about everywhere it could go. But I couldn't quite recognize the trail you guys were on, But it was too simple to properly test the Xterra Pro 4X. I could give you ideas on trails in the Woodland Park, CO area that would truly test the capability of the Pro 4X, including having to engage the locker, without risking any damage. If you are interested, let me know.
That was really cool/unique under-car video footage and the "slo-mo mud time" should come with a warning as 'car porn'.
Thanks to the entire TFL Car team for another entertaining and informative review!!
True, but does that also mean that the fJ competes with the 4runner?
jydracing, I believe they were in Left Hand Canyon, just outside of Boulder. There's a trail there called Big Momma Hill and I don't see anything short of a heavily modified Xterra making it to the top. Our LR3 rides the sliders quite often going up it.
Roman, was the coin tails when you slapped it on your hand? If so, I can't believe you would do Nathan like that. So wrong :)
Keep up the great work, love your videos. BTW....very creative and imaginative to have the cam under the Xterra. You don't see this much, but you can....on TFLC!
yes video doesn't show off road too well, but nothing i saw required 4 wheel drive in that rig. maybe that last section of video with a 15+ degree incline. wouldn't say that it keeps up with a wrangler with just a new front bumper. i say this owning a 12 pro-4x 6 speed. good call on mud flaps. i ruined one of mine the same way they almost ruined one. I do love these reviews. the pro-4x vs X and S road handle very differently so if you get the chance to compare on your next video, you should.
Well actually I have both the Xterra Pro4X and FJ cruiser I'm 6"1 250lbs and I fit fine in the back seat . The only thing that I wish the Xterra had is a rear diff lock like the FJ does.
Thank you for doing off-road tests. Most auto magazines/blogs just test on road or maybe cruise down a gravel road.
1guy: Thanx for the erudite comment - nice to see here. And I stand corrected…I was getting my Pinto/G.M Iron Duke/Jeep lore wrong, mixing it with my old International Scout’s AMC 258cu 6. Then I started confusing all the diesel Jeepney’s left over from WWII in the Philippines - and finally remember the Ford 2.3 was used at one time in the Mustang SVO? Thanx for the clarification!
What did the coin show *before* Roman dropped it to the ground and was it on purpose?
ANYONE LOOKING TO BUY AN XTERRA MAKE SURE TO READ ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION DEFECT!!!!!!!
97Mariner yes i would buy a toyota fj cruiser or a jeep any day before this,my sister had one and it spend more time at the mechanic shop than driving, i have a 2005 kia sorento 4x4 and i had never had a problem with it and my wife have an 03 mitsubishi montero limited both over 150k miles timing belt replaced every 70k miles and regular oil changes a set of brakes nothing major,but i would stay away from nissan their reliability reviews are awful
Rbhjr what year model?
2006
mines an 08 with 145k miles. 2k miles off road. no issues.
97Mariner Just do the bypass on pre 2010 models.
Can be set to automatic Nissan XTerra 2007.g of Pathfinder 2005.g
Great job off road truck
We're doing just pickup trucks and vans on that channel.
you mean rear locker that operates more like the FJ's locker does? i totally agree with that, you made it sound like the pro-4x doesn't come with a locker, which if you own one, you know it does. BTW you can bypass the BS nissan limitations on the rear locker pretty easily.
