I've driven my Buick through worse terrain than that.

That said, the Xterra (dumb name notwithstanding) is a fairly capable offroad vehicle. It won't fall apart after a lot of hard off-road driving like a lot of other SUV's (or a Buick) would. Sandman's gets credit for having a spade on the roofrack instead of some dumb yuppie thing like a kayak or something.

Oh, and roll your friggin windows down.

There are two types of trucks. SUVs and Pickups. Hell, when I was a kid, pickups were trucks and so were Surburbans and Broncos. We didn't call 'em SUVs. Of course, some SUVs today are based upon cars so they're not trucks. Hence the confusion.

...but just to illustrate that it's not just me, I offer these links.

Great pics Sandy!

Who owns that white car and why is he following you? Did the NSA finally sniff you out?

That white "car" is a 2005 Xterra.

It's the 2nd generation design. Looks a bit different than my 2000.

The guy that owns it has a pretty cool website.

He still looks fishy to me. Just look at the way he doesnt get out of the car. I dont think he is who is says he is.

Do you really think he chose the NiSsAn because he thought it was a good car?

I got a neighbor who drives a xterra.
Last year he was caught using it to sell stolen xmas trees door to door.
(I dont live in CA & his is green)
Every time I go out of town I wonder if he gonna break into my joint & take stuff.
Sometimes I think about murdering him, but instead I upped my insurance a bit.

Sandman; that's not a truck. It's a 4WD SUV

Now this is a 4wd Truck. Not mine, thought, but my friend's.

When it comes to trucks, I've always thought there are pickup trucks and there are closed bed/passenger trucks - your SUV trucks. They're all trucks. They're built on the same frame. They usually have solid rear axles, and can accept 4wd systems.

If its an SUV based on a car, it isn't a truck anymore. Look under the rear end; if you see skinny little rear independent suspension arms, that's a grocery-getting pansymobile.

They build these bad boys 10 miles from my house.

Now THAT'S a truck!
