The Xterra is one of the few vehicles on the market that is genuinely built for off-roading. This robust SUV is derived from the enormous Titan pickup truck and is powered by a 4.0L 261-hp engine. It comes with four-wheel drive, but the part-time variety to appease off-roading diehards. The six-speed manual gearbox is factory standard, but there’s also an optional five-speed automatic.
