I have been shopping for a 4x4 for quite some time now ,and I am thinking of trading in my second car ( BMW 528i ) for a used 2011 nissan xterra s . The truck is very clean only 12.000 miles, and the price is right . I have already read reviews for that generation of x terra but I was wondering if anybody on here owns one or had one before or know of any problems with them . I think that they are reliable trucks and the only comparable 4x4 is the Toyota 4runner but it is out of my price range . Any help would be appreciated .

My cousin and his wife have that same truck, and they love it; almost as much as their dinosaur age Subaru outback. ;P I don't have specifics, and that is my only association with one.

What year is it? They had two problems when they came out for 2 years the auto tranny would leak fluid into the radiator and the cam chai. Tensioner would die. ut if its not the first or second year for them than they are great. Awesome off-road nice inside and look cool

Thanks for the info . It a 2011 and I already looked into those issues and since mine does not come with a tranny cooler, so I'm not too worried .

I'll use it to go up to the cottage , tow a trailer , light off roading . I know that it will be hard on gas but that why I bought a sonic as a commuter . I am probably going ahead with the purchase tomorrow and hopefully I will have it by the weekend . I will definitely post pictures .

Yes ford. I grew up with Ford and will always buy one (sonic is my first Chevy) my ranger went places a jeep had a hard time going and I beet the living piss out of it on a daily basis for 2 years and had not drive train trouble . Explorers are another good SUV. ( do ur research for known problems though )

I don't think it will be that bad . I'll keep using my sonic to drive to and back from work and use the truck for other duties .

I know this isn't a sonic related question, but I was looking at a used cobalt ss turbo and just wondering your thoughts on buying a used car with a turbo? Just because I dont know how that person treated it. It's a 09 with 26,000 miles. Thanks for any input.
