We had a TJ which was fun, but just lacked the room and power to tow anything of substance. When looking for a replacement I seemed to have settled on the Xterra. I like the platform, chunky truck look, body on frame design, and a motor with gobs of power. The wife liked the utilitarian cargo area, made it easy to sweep up after carting the dogs around. I also seem to find myself drawn to wallflowers, so the Xterra is a good fit. It is a fantastic off road vehicle and good on the highway. I can tie my travel trailer around or kit it out for overland type adventures.
