Conjuring up associations with cross-country travel and the youth culture X games, the Nissan Xterra's name expresses its target audience -- young, active, sports-oriented drivers who want an affordable compact SUV for other things than hauling groceries.
After a redesign in 2005, the 2006 Nissan Xterra features one major change, a new base model trim. The X is base in its truest sense, with no power features. All trims (X, S, Off-Road, and SE) come with a 4.0-liter, 265-hp V6 and either a 6-speed manual or 4-speed automatic. Each one is available with either rear-wheel or four-wheel drive. The luxury-oriented SE only comes with the auto tran. Once you get beyond the base model, the 2006 Xterra offers power features, a roof rack, a Utilitrack unit in the trunk to which you can attach bikes, and a folding front passenger seat for extra-long items, such as skis. ABS, traction, and front airbags are standard across the line. Side bags are optional.
The Off-Road trim takes full advantage of the AWD capability and is truly a rugged and fun drive. It comes with all-terrain tires and the helpful Hill Descent Control which adjusts downhill speeds so you don't have to constantly tap the brakes. Being a smaller SUV, the 2006 Xterra only has two rows of seating, with a folding rear seat for extra cargo room. The trunk itself is made of plastic, for easy washability, and features many hooks and tie-downs. The engine provides a lot of power, and drivers love the rugged strength of the all-wheel drive. Lots of head and legroom make it easy to take friends along. Negative factors were a so-so radio, bad gas mileage, and a somewhat rough ride for rear passengers.
I have an 06 Xterra 2 wheel drive 4.0 and it gave me trouble code po 570 and I just put the transmission in and I can be driving it just like goes to neutral with that be the airline need some help
I went to back up into a parking space heard a click it wont back up just idle.
I had my tires replaced at Town Fair Tires. They also recalibrated the low tire pressure sensor. Driving home, both the brake and slip indicator lights when on. They went off when I started the car the next day. Two days later, they come on and stay on. Coincidence or something else? (I just had my brakes replaced one year ago). Is there any easy fix without going to the dealer?
Got a SUV a little over a month ago and has been problems ever since. Ran for 2 weeks then overheated. Found out the car didn’t have a thermostat. Replaced that. Then oil light came on for low oil pressure. Replaced the switch. We’ve replaced the two front catalytic converters (code Related) , plugs, air filter, ignition coils and camshaft sensor (code related). When accelerating, the car drags and sounds rough, has issues reaching speeds about 40 mph. Occasional starting issues, I would have to give it some gas to start. Also got a fuel injection service today and starts better. P0300 is gonna be the death of me. Help please Not sure what else to do. Any suggestions?
I purchased an 2006 Xterra with some front end damage, it will not start. Someone told me there may be an emergency fuel shut off. Does anyone out there know of this?
