Jeep Wrangler vs Nissan Xterra
I may be looking at getting a brand new SUV soon. The only threads I could find were on forums for their respective vehicles. Jeep forums praise the wrangler, Nissan forums praise the Xterra (duh). So anyway, which do you prefer? I'm comparing the Rubicon Unlimited against the Pro-4x. My plans for the vehicle would be relatively modest, maybe some more aggressive tires and some Daylighters.

I like nissan and don't dodge so that would be my choice. It really boils down to what you wanna do with it. If you want something you can easily mod with bolt ons like every other ride get the jeep. If you want something to drive the wheels off of get the nissan.

I like either of them. but like everyone else says, if you want to be able to drive off the lot and onto the trail then get the jeep. The jeep in that picture is a Rubicon which has front and rear lockers i believe. The Unlimited version only has a rear locker but is still very capable off road.
My GF has the Unlimited.. Its pretty comfortable on the road but amazing on the trail. Kicks my Blazers *** of course lol

I was looking at a new Xterra last year but couldnt swallow the price tag
The Pro4X is pretty nice but big $$
I was told it is the same frame and chassis as their P/U
I havent drove a jeep recently but the last seemed like I was squeezed in the seat
Do lots of test drives on both
The thing that scaired me about the xterras was the used ones had rust spots in very random spots
Places that shouldnt just start rusting
A jeep ,get used to the door hinges bleeding rust

2012 and newer have the new and unproven 3.6 Pentastar engine, whereas the 07-11 have the already tried (but maybe not so true) 3.8 Pentastar. It's a shame they don't make the 4.0 anymore. I'd go with the Rubi, preferably pre-12 if you can...
But that's just my .02
