2011 Xterra comes with Four-wheel drive and the available Dynamic Control Package. Power source is one of three gutsy engines as A 210-hp Supercharged V6 for mountain-climbing boost, a 180-hp regular V6, or a torquey 143-hp 4-cylinder. Eaton provides a roots Blower-type. It’s no off the shelf model either, but customized by the folks at Eaton just for this V6. This is a perfect match, also there are modification in car by Nissan engineers on V6. As a result a thumping 210 horsepower and 246 lb-ft of torque. And a boost that is immediate, consistent, and on tap at any altitude.

The 2011 Nissan Xterra is styled with extra-wide fender flares, stamped out of high-carbon steel, not glued on as a separate piece. These fender flares help protect the exterior finish and accentuate the aggressive off-road styling.

There are also pockets and holders and nets for things like maps, cups, sunflower seeds, binoculars, surf wax and more of life’s basic necessities.
