307k miles on my 2006 Xterra. Original owner and she hasn’t been babied. Great off-road/overland rig.

I love how every time he mentions “junk yard” a gm dealership pops up in the top right corner, lol

[@yeldarBkereD]

The VQ40 engines were surprisingly rock solid. Got nearly 300,000 miles on my Pathfinder before I sold it, and I still see it driving around from time to time.

[@shaggysmoothie85]

It's really not so much most of their engines. It's usually their transmissions and their interiors...also they have thin paint. But Nissans when properly maintained can last a long time. I had an '03 Frontier with a 4 banger 5 spd. RWD and that thing NEVER left me stranded and fired up 99.9% of the time. Had almost 375k miles on it when I sold it with MINIMAL problems.

[@yeldarBkereD]

Very true. Nissan's Jatco CVT transmissions have given Nissan as a whole a bad name. They aren't bad transmissions, per say, but if you treat them like a regular AT (aggressive driving, not changing CVT fluid, etc) they will not live long. We have a Jatco CVT in our Outlander Sport, and we just passed 200k and the transmission is still rock solid. That being said, the CVT fluid has been changed every 30k miles and we've always been gentle with it.

@@yeldarBkereD paints on the nissans are pretty good, infiniti, not so much.

Shopped for a used 4Runner back during the chip shortage. High mileage ones were insane prices. Looked for the next best thing. Scotty’s last Xterra video and Car Wizard’s Frontier review sold me so I picked up a ‘14 Xterra S 4x4 used with 90k. Now at 117k miles with just basic maintenance. She’s THIRSTY but I love my X.

@@pineappleoverlord9k462 FAR better and they can easily go 300k. Especially post 2011-2012ish when all the kinks were finally ironed out. Even if you needed to, it’d be easy to get new parts because that gen Frontier ran into the 2020s. You’ll love it.

Same story for me. After seeing reviews on both vehicles, I couldn’t justify paying so much for a slower vehicle. I love my X and will replace the engine or trans if I have to to keep it going.

[@jessies6502]

I've had two Xterras, and just bought my third; it's 17 years old, with 164,000 miles on it. It has a plethora of computer codes showing up, one of them being the crank shaft sensor. It stalls out, just like this one did. I knew about this when I bought it, so why buy that headache? Simple: IT'S AN XTERRA!! I know what I'll have, after it's fixed, which is a BEAST that will carry me happily many, many more miles! ❤

[@sapphire163]

If the crank sensor is giving problems, chances are the camshaft sensors will fail soon.

[@MatthewSmith-nh8uu]

I'm a former Nissan tech (during the 2001-2003 era) and fell in love with the round headlight Xterras. I needed to replace a car fast late 2022 and had been eying up the newer Xterras as well as 4Runners. I got so much more vehicle with the X than I could have for the overpriced 4Runners. I found a 2011 Pro-4x in Night Armor gray locally with 140k on the clock and several performance mods. We had a record snowfall that winter, and with some new Nitto TerraGrappler tires that X tore it up! I have 185k on it now, and it has a couple repairs to do but I love it. Added a 2" lift with new Bilstein shocks, it looks amazing. I love this thing.

[@studiokayworkshop8661]

I love my Xterra!!!! She's just over 100,000 miles and she is my ride or die. I love this car. Does everything I need it to do! I can only hope and pray she last's to almost 500,000 miles!!!

[@oni_goroshi]

I've got nearly 300,000 mi on my '06 Xterra right now. I bought it about 5 years ago off of a guy that never took care of it. Its actually been pretty reliable. The only problems I've had is the rear axle broke because the rear diff seal blew out because of a clogged breather and needed to be replaced, the catalytic converters clogged up so I needed to remove those, and the valve cover on the passenger side started leaking so I replaced both. Since I've owned it I've put in a new fuel pump, new brakes, calipers and rotors, new spark plugs and coils, new tires, and that's about it. Still runs great with a minor oil leak that I can find, still has very good power, and it's never left me stuck in the snow or mud.

[@sapphire163]

A common oil leak on these is the oil cooler gasket. No big deal to fix if that is the problem.

[@jp-uh7bo]

Had my silver 2003 XTerra for 20 years and it finally gave out this month - kinda embarrassing to be driving something for that long - but I just couldn't let go - was like a member of the family :D .

My son drives it. nothing major done to it. brakes. muffler.rear shocks. brake lines. ac compressor. radiator. Make sure you do the integrated radiator transmission cooler bypass so you don't get the pink milkshake transmission killer. search it here if you don't know about it.

[@chrisg723]

We have a 2007 Pathfinder that is on the same platform and engine. Ours is at 201,000 miles and does not use a drop of oil. The 4.0 is a great V6. Just make sure the radiator has been replaced/checked as they had a recall because they would crack and mix coolant with transmission oil.

[@mlm32809]

I did the radiator bypass on my 2007 since it has the separate transmission cooler.

[@shaggysmoothie85]

VQ33DE and VQ35DE are good engines too on the Pathfinders. They have their quirks but I have an '03 Nissan Pathfinder SE and he VQ35DE is a gas hog (but has V8 power like hp/tq figures) but it's a SOLID engine and the transmission shifts like butter. Only thing I've had wrong with it is an oil cooler o-ring that caused pin hole oil leak (common issue but $10 to fix myself). It has 174k miles on it and I've seen folks with my gen Pathfinder (with 3.3 and 3.5 V6 engines) with 300k on them still running.

Great Video Scotty! I'm the original owner of a 2006 Xterra S, AT 2WD and have driven it from Florida to California and all points in-between since I bought it nearly 17yrs ago (Sep '06). Had an aftermarket tow bar installed in 2011 for my move from Cali to Arkansas and it has towed what ever I've attached with no problems. There have been a few recalls which were taken care of but for some reason my VIN was not listed on the recall for the coolant leak into the transmission. I eventually did replace the transmission and radiator due to the coolant leaked into the transmission but not before 240K miles (2020). I do need to replace right side EGR system which I plan in the next month or so. I love my Xterra and plan to drive it as long as I can. Thanks for the videos!

My son is an autotech. He bought one of these (2006) and it had the faulty timing chain tensioners at 60k. So, he immediately tore into the front end and replaced all chains/tensioners and just like you're saying, Xtera's are indestructible if you take care of them. He has a healthy commute so I know he's been putting the miles on this and I'm sure he'll trust it until at least 300K. The Xtera is about as dependable as the venerable 4Runner.

I have a 2005 Xterra automatic 2 WD with over 300,000 miles. The model is called Off Road. My daughter, who is a professional mechanic with her own shop, told me the main parts below (tranny etc) are plated. She never changed anything major since I bought it from my neighbor for $4000 except for an alternator here and brakes there. She religiously maintains it every 5,000 miles. I had to paint it last year because the original paint of many Nissans, specially in Florida where it is hot and wet, faded badly. I hope I can keep it until the 500,000 miles. The Nissan dealer I went to last week for parts for another Nissan vehicle my daughter is working on, told me he never sees Xterras traded in. Owners keep them. I told my daughter that Nissan would do well reintroducing a new special commemorative model or whatever so that we all can trade our older Xterras for a new one. "Dream on" she said!

@@amandeepbaa6978 It is the direct rival, below the US we get them too, you get the armada, The Patrol is a fantastic monster, the Pathfinder and XTerras are used a lot too (the old oness) you can see them climbing dunes.

I still have my 91 Nissan, 2 seat, 5spd manual trans, garaged, runs GREAT, Z32.

I had a 2004 Chevy Impala LS that we had for 18 years until it got T-Boned with 3.8 engine that Never had a Wrench on it--original Water Pump Alternator, etc. Did Replace Brake Pads and Rotors one Time but that's it. Best car that we have ever owned...

man you so fun to watch best michanic on the planet

I love my 2006 Xterra, solar yellow

My dad has a 07 2wd with 215K miles. I’ve been offering to buy it for years because he complains of the fuel economy. It’s got a rebuilt transmission at 160K miles. That thing is torquey and decent to drive. I’m going to be pretty upset when he sells it to someone else instead of me.

[@johnmiller4859]

2 of the 5 greatest mistakes in my life involve selling Nissan trucks One, a 92 4cyc truck (5spd) with 200+K miles and an Xterra.

[@rikwell]

I have a 2nd gen 2010 with 90k miles and it runs great . It gets up pretty quickly.

My 2015 Subaru Forester has a CVT Transmission with a 2.5 Liter engine. Only thing I’ve replaced in 8 years is the Battery.

[@steveg2203]

I had a 2005 that I bought new and I really liked it, but mine developed a whine and the plastic guides on the timing chain had wear. It had low mileage and under warranty so they replaced the chain and all the parts that go with it. Also, the Transmission cooling lines on those were prone to breaking.

I love my 2015 Titan.

When I have car questions I don't use Google's search engine I just go to Scotty's channel and use the search function.

Owner of 2 XTerras since 2002. Not a chance i’m selling my 2015 XTerra Pro4x. Solid a a rock Reliable, fun to drive and good working truck also. Recommend hands down

[@seanlee973]

Saw a 2021 RAV4 Prime going solid after 360k miles

[@realistic272]

Had a 2006. Big POS. I babied it. Oil pressure drops due to timing chain cover seals, automatic tranny slipping, electrical issues to name a few. Had to reroute tranny cooler lines to eliminate the ‘milkshake’ of death. Got rid of it and never going back to Nissan

[@MattRockwell1]

I got a 04 been neglecting it for and year small evap leak, abs light on still runs decent watching this makes me thing I should dump some money into it

[@wildgamerecipes6353]

Gives me hope my 2010 Pathfinder will last a while yet. Just replaced the entire suspension and brakes so hopefully engine and transmission hold up.

[@snafujag100]

2005 standard with 326,000. New clutch at 304,000. Timing chain tensioners too….that was a hell of a job. Great vehicle I love it!!

[@laurieannerodriguez5946]

Thank you Scotty! This is very good to know!

[@BackDaFUCKUP1213]

My 08 Acura Tl just reached 455550 miles … same engine & transmission & yes it's a base because if it's not Scotty teaching me how to drive stick then I wouldn't wanna learn

[@robmalcolm8042]

It’s stick that’s why. A Honda Acura from that gen with a auto isn’t making it that far

[@mescko]

@@robmalcolm8042 A manual that's driven properly (read not abused) and gets regular fluid changes can outlast any other part of the powertrain.

Scott you never fail us keep up the work.
