This comment in the review caught my eye
:
"While Nissan's latest truck models have had a few teething problems, the Xterra used proven components, including a 3.3-litre V6 (170 hp) borrowed from the 1996-2000 Pathfinder. That engine gets lots of love from owners of older Pathfinders for its improved durability over the more-powerful 3.5-litre engine used in 2001-2003 versions. The 3.3-litre engine has proven just as durable in the Xterra."
The 3.3 more durable than the 3.5? Any data to back that up, Mr. Chase? Will my 3.5 implode on me any day now?
I posted the same question over on the Pathfinder forum, will have to see what happens.
