The Nissan Xterra is an all-terrain vehicle aimed at the off-roading crowd. Its more robust design resembles an Xterra, yet retains all the unique features of the original Xterra. All trademarks from the Xterra have been retained including a stepped roof, integrated storage, a liftgate with an optional first aid kit, interior storage, and a latchable cover. Nissan Xterra comes with a long wheelbase along with a rugged plastic cover for the rear bumper steps.
4.0-liter V6 Engine
When it comes to off roading, nothing beats a four-wheel drive SUV. The Nissan Xterra does not disappoint. This model features a 4.0-liter V6 motor and has excellent off-road capability. The Xterra's allterrain tires are extremely noisy and grippy.
Ground clearance: 9.5 in
The Nissan Xterra has a 9.5 inch ground clearance and is an ideal vehicle for off-roaders. The Xterra can tackle almost any trail without needing to use special off-road equipment. The Xterra is also capable of a staggering 33.2 degree approach/departure angle. Nissan Xterra Off-Road provides more off-road capabilities, such as electronic hill descent control, Hill Start Assist and Bilstein shocks.
Sturdy suspension
The Nissan Xterra off-roading has a strong suspension and many off-roading features like hill start assistance and hill descent control. This truck also comes with a heavy-duty steel suspension with a double wishbone design, a rear rigid leaf spring, and a front stabilizer bar. These features transform large bumps into a comfortable ride, for both the driver as well as passengers.
Long wheelbase
Consider a Nissan Xterra Long Wheelbase if off-roading is your passion. The Nissan Xterra long wheelbase has been very popular with off-roaders for years. But it has some limitations. Its longer wheelbase can make turning difficult. It's more difficult to maneuver around obstacles than in a car. The downsides of short wheelbase vehicles include a smaller interior space, poor handling on roads and poor interior space. Aside from the obvious disadvantages, short wheelbase vehicles are more susceptible to rollovers when off-roading.
Sporty look
The exterior of the Nissan Xterra offroad vehicle has been given a sporty new look. Its design was inspired from the Nissan Frontier, its midsize brother. It was a huge success and the Xterra will be just as successful. However, it might also get a more rugged look as Nissan opted to make it larger, rather than smaller.
Built-to-be-customized
The Ford Bronco has been revived and is currently attracting pre-orders of over 200,000. It's an extremely popular vehicle and it's hard to imagine a Nissan not considering building one. The Xterra would be a vehicle that could do everything the Ford Bronco can do, and maybe more. However, we do have to admit that we would rather see a Nissan build a new Xterra.
FAQ

A three-year course in automotive is required.
The first year is spent learning about cars and theory. The second year is spent on practical training where you learn how to drive, fix engines, and do other mechanical jobs around the car. The final year is spent doing a placement at a local garage, which gives you experience in fixing real-world problems.
Is it difficult to find a job as a mechanic in the automotive industry?
Yes, it's possible. Garages often advertise their jobs online and people just apply because it seems fun.

A person who wants to work as an automotive technician should first obtain an associate degree from a vocational school. After completing the program, he/she must take the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence certification exam. ASE stands as American Society of Mechanical Engineers. There are two parts to the ASE certification exam. The first section tests the ability to use mechanical knowledge. The second section tests the ability to apply practical skills. You will need to attend an authorized testing site in order to pass the test. These testing sites can be found online and through your local dealer.
After passing the test, a candidate must pass an examination in order to be licensed as an automotive technician. This process varies depending on where the applicant lives. Some states require that candidates attend training courses, while others permit them to learn independently. Some states allow technicians to become licensed right away after receiving their license. While others wait until they have had at least six years of experience as an automotive technician.
An applicant should apply to a local auto shop in order to start their career as an automotive technician. Most employees who are hired start as apprentices. Apprenticeship programs usually last three years. The apprenticeship program teaches students how to change oil, adjust brakes, replace tires, clean spark plugs, inspect engine compartments, and perform routine maintenance. Some students will learn advanced repair techniques, such as changing shocks, installing air filters, and replacing engines. Schools offer classes during business hours. Some schools also offer evening classes, if necessary.
Once a student finishes his/her apprenticeship, it is possible to become a Journeyman. Journeymen can spend up to five years learning how major systems work, including transmissions, differentials. They also learn how to adjust steering gear and suspensions. They are also taught how to troubleshoot electrical components and remanufacture engines. Many employers prefer to hire Journeymen because they understand the job well.

Someone who has only a highschool diploma could earn around 21,000 dollars per year. A bachelor's degree is equivalent to approximately $24,000 annually. Technicians with a bachelor’s degree made about $27,000 annually. Masters' degree holders earn around $32,000 per annum.
