About the Xterra

The Xterra was a rugged, truck-based compact SUV made from 1999 to 2015, named under licence from the XTERRA off-road triathlon. It was designed in La Jolla, California, and was the first Nissan conceived, developed and built entirely in the United States. Its marketing line was "Everything You Need, Nothing You Don't".
