do xtrerra's come in MT at all?  |
Yes, they are available in a 6mt. As of 2011 they simplified the lineup since it's not a big seller and 2012 is most likely the last year until/if the next gen arrives. There's the X, S, and Pro4x which is an "offroad" but you can add the optional leather interior.

05 to 08's can have the radiatior/trans cooler issue where the radiator fluid eats into the trans cooler and it mixes, flowing into your trans and killing it. When you feel the symptoms, feel like your driving on rumble strips, it's already too late.
Trans cooler bypass mod (search thenewx.org) is a cheap/quick and easy fix.
In 09, nissan changed from matic J to matic S trans fluid and supposedly, this solved the corrosion problem. I got a letter a while ago for our 2010 Offroad X saying Nissan was providing us, and everyone else for that matter, with a 80K trans warrantee (I think that's what the mileage was) free of charge so they are aware of the issue but since it's such a slow seller/they're phasing it out, they areen't going to source a whole new radiator/trans cooler to really fix the problem.
that said, it's a great simple reliable and tough truck. If you want a true man's suv, this is one of the only one's left, (body on frame, true transfer case with low range, locking dana 44 rear diff etc).
Biggest - is that I can't do better than 16mpg average for mixed driving. (I do always ride with the a/c on though but still, that's pathetic).
