both the xterra and rubicon are both in the 4000 lbs bracket.

The Xterra is a premier off-roading vehicle "off the lot" if you buy the pro 4x or off-road models. if you have an experienced driver, there is not a lot the truck won't do compared to most other non-modded vehicles.

Fair enough! Those are really well put together as well, and can really dive into some water as well. I think my lack of knowledge on them has lead me to think their clearance issue looks substantial. They look like their tires would rub REALLY easily and that it wouldn't flex for crap judging it solely off of the stock look. what, an inch or two between the tire and the wheel well?

but, i do know those aren't just expensive soccer mom SUV's. sister in law was looking at getting one recently, and we even rode around in it. it was baf. but, i mean, i wouldn't feel comfortable with terrain that was very uneven.

sell me on them? it won't take much... the interiors were unparalleled. the drive was amazing. they look sharp.
