Friend just picked up a brand new 2005 Xterra, Off Road edition. Comes with all sorts of goodies like 2/4 wheel limited sleep, locking rear diff,vdc,etc...
And he was able to find a manual, 6 speed!
That thing is fun!
Truck definitely has some power, he was able to chirp his tires on a 1-2 shift
Actually feels faster then my GTP(not that it actually is hehe) because you're so much higher up and all you see is the road accelerating, and it's quiet too, you don't really get the sense that you're at full speed until you look at the speedometer! Has 265hp/284tq, now that's a meaty V6 that's for sure.
only thing is getting out the back seats with those tiny doors can be a pain, but who cares, as lnog as the driver's comfortable eh?
Overall a great truck,decently quick+has plenty of room under the hood
