Replying to: bowke28 (Sep 02, 2004 3:29 pm) For 2005 as well? That's one of the features that stopped me from buying the previous X-Terras. Replies to this message: bowke28 (Sep 18, 2004 8:41 am)

Replying to: popealdo (Sep 18, 2004 6:55 am) because of the nature of the roofrack and the upward slant of the roof behind the front cabin, it cant be done with a power roof. thats ALL?!?!?!?! please...prioritize, mr. pope. the way a sunroof functions kept you from buying the vehicle you actually WANTED?!?!?! i just dont get it, i guess.
#76 of 83 Premium fuel by arizonajoe Sep 18, 2004 (4:13 pm)
Can anyone confirm whether or not the 2005 Xterra will require premium unleaded? Nissan has been requiring premium on more and more models lately. At this point, all implementations of the 3.5L V6 (from which the Xterra's new 4.0L engine is derived) require premium. I know the current SC Xterra requires premium, but I figure the supercharger might have something to do with that. My hope is that Nissan will wake up and realize that people do not want to pay for premium in a truck or SUV. The cost of fueling them is already high enough. The new engine is used across the new Frontier, Xterra, and Pathfinder, so it would be a major shock to a lot of shoppers (is there a single truck in the USA that requires premium?). Anyway, I test drove a Liberty, and today went off-roading for the first time since childhood with some Rubicon-owning coworkers. It was really fun, so the Xterra is on my list, and the CR-V and Escape are off. (They wouldn't have survived today.) Replies to this message: bowke28 (Sep 18, 2004 4:24 pm)

Replying to: arizonajoe (Sep 18, 2004 4:13 pm) regular unleaded will be fine, since there will not be a supercharged model.
#78 of 83 roll-over by mdellyd Sep 18, 2004 (5:51 pm)
Tonka9764, it looks like you have "done it on the cheap" as all you have an old X-Terra, nothing more, and getting a little long in the tooth as it will be two body styles old come next year. The foggers on the roof don't add character, they add wind noise! Yes, regular unleaded is fine. It is what I put in my 2003 Maxima. The cheapest I can find, lol. Does anybody know if the 2005 X-Terra has stability control? Roll-over is one of the reasons I bought my Maxima and as far as I am concerned I got the best body style Maxima ever made and in Black too! I can't stand the front end on the new Maxima and I think the front end on the Murano is hideous. Anyway, most of my friends tell my I will roll an SUV coming into the apartment complex or on an on-ramp onto the freeway as aggressive as I drive so I am worried about getting an SUV, but I love the new X-Terra. Hey, thanks for the advice on the weight of a 4X4 helping to prevent roll-over by lowering the center of gravity. The weight difference on a 2004 4X4 is a whopping 460 pounds which is quite a lot. More than I thought and all down low in the drive train.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm sure owners of CJ7s would feel that their outdated body styles were a negative as well.

PS: The 2003 Maxima IS the best looking EVER! NEVER will one be made as great as yours.

I will take a little wind noise as a trade off for the capability of lighting a whole campsite when pitching tents etc. Not everyone can afford a new vehicle, and who is to say that a few people (obviously not as brilliant as you) might prefer an older body style? Like, say a year old Maxima for instance. You can get a 2003 Maxima on the cheap too, as it is getting a "bit long in the tooth" as you put it. My comments were not to show off my vehicle, just to show other Edmund's users that paying if $30K for a new Xterra does not fit a budget, maybe sprucing up one that is a few years old, getting a 7/100K factory warranty might get them into a vehicle they desire. I'd like a brand new one too. It is a better vehicle, more power, slicker interior etc. But I wouldn't trade my "01 Xterra AND pay $15K on top of it to get one.
#82 of 83 05 changes by 03xterraman Sep 20, 2004 (8:59 am)
Anyone know what colors will be offered on the new Xterra? What about pricing? Is the 4WD system going to be a manual shift like my 03 or is it now going to be just a push of a button?
#83 of 83 Xterra Info by 03xterraman Sep 28, 2004 (8:33 am)
If you go to nissanusa.com and look under one of the headings (vehicle, I think)and click on future vehicles you can build your 05 Xterra. It even gives you pricing but the site tells you prices are subject to be higher or lower. Looks like they will offer one new color - night armor, looks like a very dark gray. Canteen, solar yellow, avalanche, black, silver, the red seems to be different and granite. Starting at $21,000 for the S model, starting at $24000 for the Off-road model and starting at $26,000 for the SE model. 03xterraman
