Nissan X Trail Vs Patrol Off Road

With the new wheels and suspension on the little Nissan X-Trail, we decided to take it on a gentle tour of the countryside.
Lots of people ask me about the tyres on the X-Trail, they are BFG 225/75R16 set on steel wheels with 00 offset.
The X-Trails lift is a 45mm kit from Pedders and I added extra 30mm strut spacers up front.

Drove my T31 X Trail in the Indian Himalayas for a few weeks, driving and camping on the road. Had to cut out the DPF with a bit of help from a local mechanic as it couldn't regenerate and the low oxygen at high altitude wasnt helping. This aside we travelled in real comfort ( great heating / large sun-roof etc) on roads that were rough, with snow/ ice and rocky streams all the way on an amazing adventure. Love the X Trail. Enjoy!

[@JTactical]

That sounds like an amazing adventure! It is such a great car, and the best looking of the T30/T31/T32!

[@andrewbyrne281]

2002 t30 xtrail here tough as nails with a good balance of off road capacity with a smooth balance of road driving

[@sebastianrock9114]

X trail is brilliant. Great car. Love it.

[@isaacsd2188]

Hey mate love the video I’m from Australia and have a t30 that’s been pretty modified and have to say they are just great cars on and off-road and love how you have modified this it’s a very sleek build.

[@JTactical]

Thanks for the comment Isaac. My 1st Nissan was a T30... I loved that too1

[@frazerrennie1340]

I still think this style of x trail is the better looking, especially with a lift and tyres

[@travel_legal_greecegreekto4127]

Hi my friend... Did you lift it the t31 and how you did it?

[@richardjones8684]

Hi I’m looking to get an Xtrail to take the Mrs / daughter / dog camping and do a bit of off roading. After searching online I see the 2.2 diesels are poor on reliability . Any recommendations? . Budget is about £4K Cheers

[@Bovoedits]

Did you have to buy new wheels to fit the tyres or did the stock x trail wheels fit? If so, where did you buy from?

[@JTactical]

Sorry for the late reply... I bought new wheels to fit these tyres. I bought them from 4x4tyres.co.uk

[@paradisesyndicate]

@J-Tac would you guys experience any rubbing with those tires? Especially if without the lift?

[@JTactical]

Sorry for the late reply... Yes, these tires will rub with no lift. (Even with the lift, I had to cut away inner arch!)

[@TheJanope13]

That patrols got a really nice stance to it mate! What size lift and wheel specs?

[@JTactical]

Let me direct you towards another one of my videos... It should answer all your questions! ;-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hX6wgYhohq9_mMk

[@reinergluck2168]

Nice video! Wich rims an tires on the xtrail?

[@JTactical]

Hi, I'm so sorry for the late reply. The tyres are BF Goodrich KO2's and they are 225/75/16. The Rims are 00 Offset.

[@NoLogic69]

Hi, where can I buy a set of them steels for my t31 in the UK? Cheers..... Mario

[@JTactical]

Hi Mario! I bought mine from tyresdirect.co.uk, but you can also get them from 4x4tyres.co.uk & mytyres.co.uk (I'm sure theres other places too)

[@jacson837]

Can you share details about the tyres and bar work you have on your vehicle ?

[@JTactical]

Hi, I'm so sorry for the late reply. The tyres are BF Goodrich KO2's and they are 225/75/16. The bar is just an A Frame of eBay... Nothing too special.

[@secondfirstsecond]

Hello do you need to modify anything to use tire/rim 225/75 R16 on the xtrail?? Or will it just fit?

[@JTactical]

It will require a lift at least. We had to cut away some of the inner arch, but that may because we changed the wheel off set to make the track wider!

[@secondfirstsecond]

@@JTactical I show this to our community, It's a very handsome looking XTrail, we really love it. If you have chance to show the work in detail, please share the video. Thanks!

[@JTactical]

@@secondfirstsecond Thanks. Hopefully I will make a detailed video once we have the snorkel fitted. 😬

[@peterbuttge7434]

I ran Cooper light truck ATR 225/75 on my T30 for 50000 km. Bit of rubbing on hard lock but no drama. I reckon this has put an extra 5000km on the speedometer. Since gone back to street legal with Yokohama Geolander ATR

[@Africasideways]

yes with 2inch lift that size works very well, nothing needs to be cut, same width as original.

[@mattrowers2590]

Hey, I’m looking to buy an Xtrail for overland style adventures, including camping on remote sand beaches. I want the same tire size and the lift as yours. Do you think a 2.5L CVT would handle it? Or should I look at Diesel+automatic / 2.0 Petrol + manual? There are many affordable Xtrails with CVT in a good condition on the market. Diesels are more expensive and mostly high mileage. So I can’t make up my mind. Any advice will be appreciated.

[@JTactical]

If I’m honest, I don’t really know. I don’t see why the tyres would fit any different just because of engine or transmission? I will say tho... These tyres do still rub a little.

[@mattrowers2590]

@@JTactical Thanks, man!

[@loveknowsnoborder]

@@mattrowers2590 CVT is a no go if you are planning to take it off road. It will fail to deliver the sudden power burst you would need at times to drive over ruts etc.

[@mattrowers2590]

@@loveknowsnoborder thanks, that’s what I thought. I actually bought a Forester SJ and it handles deep sand nicely even though it’s CVT (but Subaru CVT appeared to be a whole different animal).

[@loveknowsnoborder]

@@mattrowers2590 yeah I didn't realise that your comment was from a year ago 😅I'm actually looking to buy a fwd in near future as well. I looked at forester but currently I'm deciding between pathfinder and Pajero 😅

Hey, can you tell me what nudge bar you have on that xtrail?

Sure thing... I got this one: amzn.to/3eHhf5t

No problems to my knowledge... I don't own the car now, but still see it driving about.

Hello super.......The lift kit and the size of tyres of the Xtrail T31????

[@JTactical]

BFG 225/75R16 set on steel wheels with 00 offset. The X-Trails lift is a 45mm kit from Pedders and I added extra 30mm strut spacers up front.

[@MrSherlockthedog]

I like side mirrors in patrol, are they from ford,.... and where is this track located ? can public drive.. Cheers

[@JTactical]

They are made for the Patrol (Had them shipped over from Australia) but I think the design was stolen from Ford. This was in Ingram valley... The public can drive there although I would not suggest driving up and down the same track all day long, the place is more a picnic area than an off road play area.

[@mattrowers2590]

Is it petrol with CVT or diesel with automatic transmission?

[@JTactical]

The X-Trail is a manual diesel and the Patrol is an auto diesel.

[@James-be1gw]

Is that breamish valley

I drive a xtrail just like that. Even same color. I'm by no means a nissan fan or a particular fan of the xtrail but ill admit its quite capable for a soft roader and very reliable.
