The 2008 2009 Nissan XTerra is ideal for outdoor enthusiast, including extras such as a first-aid kit, and additional power outlets galore. If you're looking for an SUV that was built for the outdoors, look no farther than the new 2008 2009 Nissan XTerra. New for this year, the XTerra comes in two distinct models - the XTerra XE and the more souped-up XTerra SE. To read our 2008 2009 Nissan XTerra review, access some of our XTerra pictures, or to read up on the veritable catalog of available Nissan XTerra accessories, you've come to the right place.

Unlike most SUVs, the 2008 2009 Nissan Xterra is built on a heavy-duty truck frame made for wonderfully unforgiving conditions. The frame is the same frame you'll find on the popular Nissan Frontier pickup truck. With the XTerra, though, four-wheel drive and the newly available Dynamic Control Package team up to keep you pushing ahead, over seemingly insurmountable terrain. Depending on which XTerra model you choose, your power source will be one of three gutsy engines:

• A SuperCharged V6 for mountain-climbing boost



• A regular V6 with up to 180 horsepower



• A 143-horsepower 4-cylinder that delivers more torque than some of the most advanced luxury car engines.

Under the 2008 2009 Nissan XTerra, auto-locking hubs let you shift into 4-wheel drive instantly - with this four-wheel-drive system, you can shift on the fly up to 25 miles per hour, then once you're in four-wheel drive, you can pick up the speed. This is a feature every expert mentions in his or her 2008 2009 Nissan XTerra review. We thought it fitting, therefore, for us to mention it in ours.

Performance usually is enough in a car like this one, but the XTerra is the most distinguished-looking SUV on the road as well. This rugged SUV looks so good, you'll want to put an XTerra picture on your wall, even if you don't own one. Exterior features on the 2008 2009 Nissan XTerra consist of:

• Patented Nissan XTerra roof rack



• Fender flares



• Step rails



• A characteristic bump on the back panel that hides the first-aid kit.

Under every Xterra, you'll also find skid plates to help protect the engine and fuel tank over rough terrain. Inside the car, this attention to detail continues. Interior features include:

• Stadium-style seating



• Rear cargo clips and hooks



• Side-seat pockets



• Power outlets



• Cargo nets



• In-dash six-CD changer



• Optional steering wheel controls.

If all of these features aren't enough, for the true enthusiast, a bevy of 2008 2009 Nissan XTerra accessories includes bike racks, kayak racks, ski racks, and more. There's even an optional tow package that enables you to tow up to 6,500 pounds. Get out there! XTerra has you covered.
