If your considering the Toyota FJ Cruiser for your next SUV you should take a few moments and look real hard at the Nissan Xterra. For 2010, the Xterra is yet again available in four well-outfitted trim levels X, S, Off-Road and SE making it simple for buyers to establish the exact Xterra model for their particular needs and lifestyles. Enhancements for the 2010 model year include revised X Gear Package content (now standard on Xterra S and SE models), the addition of Technology Package content as standard on Xterra SE and OR models, and simplified exterior and interior color selections. Nissan makes it a little easier for find the exact model you want Vs the Toyota FJ Cruiser.
As in previous years, Xterra features a long wheelbase for an excellent ride and abundant interior room, yet overall length is highly controllable due to the short front overhang helping to increase maneuverability in off-road hill climbing and trail situations. Xterras flexible interior is roomy enough for up to five adults and their gear, with plenty of leg room, headroom and cargo room. A standard 60/40 split folding stadium-style rear seat with detachable seat bottom cushions and an available fold-down front passenger seat (Off-Road model) create added utility for hauling long recreational gear. The Toyota FJ Cruiser Seattle only has two real doors and makes it difficult for passengers to get in and out of, especially if they have extra gear.
Underneath its exceptional exterior design, every Xterra features a fully boxed, all-steel ladder frame and a strong suspension featuring a steel double-wishbone front suspension and solid axle leaf spring rear suspension, with stabilizer bars front and rear. Xterra Off-Road models feature Bilstein high-performance gas shocks, a rear tire deflector and skids plates covering the oil pan, fuel tank and transfer case (4WD only). The Toyota FJ Cruiser frame and suspension is not even in the same boat as the Nissan Xterra as its built on a traditional C frame.
Xterras list of safety features and equipment includes Nissan Advanced Air Bag System (AABS with dual-stage supplemental front air bags with seat belt and occupant classification sensors), driver and front passenger seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bags and 3-point front/rear seat belts with pretensioners and load limiters and adjustable upper anchors. All Xterras also come with standard roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bags with rollover sensor for improved front and rear-seat outboard occupant head protection.
