Nissan Xterra Engines and Transmissions

Each Nissan Xterra engine is a gasoline unit tuned for low-rev pulling rather than outright speed. The 2.4 MT, for example, combines a manual transmission with rear-wheel drive, a simple drivetrain that keeps maintenance straightforward; other versions in the range offered larger displacement and selectable four-wheel drive.
