Wow! But now my curiosity has been provoked even more. An "Off-Road" Package/Edition??? Does that mean factory locker? I've held out until now, trying to determine whether or not I was going to trade up or build mine, so now I have my answer.

They can do just about anything they want to the interior as long as they keep at least the option for a standard DIN sized radio. I can't live with factory crap.

Hmmm... Fender flaring seems to be a bit more pronounced and "PLAZ-TEK" looking... I hope they don't go nutz w/molded plastic/fiberglass in construction.. Nothing like having to replace an entire side of a vehicle when 1/8 of it gets damaged.
Other than that, AMEN to the square headlights, and they didn't "TITANIZE" TOO much of it! I think the boys in Nissan's engineering/design department did well for themselves in the 05 Release. Interior Pix??? :p

What are some guestimates as to what the starting base model price will be?

Think the prices will be in the same range or a significant increase?

Not for me.

The new '05 truck is looking sweet. I'll be checking this board out as often as I can today. So far so good Nissan.

Keep dreaming... I'm sure it's some better shocks and an offroad decal.

I bet the offroad package will be like what we drive now and the others will be more "car" like with more interior features.
And like you said, some decal.

I thought it was supposed to have a locker option?

Here is a little bigger.....

So how long is this viewing supposed to last....By my clock they should already be there. (noon, right?)

One Question:

With the new 4.0L engine...I wonder where the Alternator is being mounted? I hope not below like the 3.3L engine.

Better pic

At the rate I am going, it will be five years before I have my 03 paid off...

UN-BE-LIEVABLE!!!!!

That second pic does it much more justice.

Where are you getting these pics??????

I just noticed the side-view mirrors....A little bit funky with that inside curve.

I don't really care for the front end or the fender flares. :rolleyes:

The motor however

so far I don't like the wheels and I hope it comes with mud/splash guards. I remove them when offroading but I like the fact that they keep the side panels clean during daily driving. Don't care about steprails as long as they have the mounting points for rock sliders.

If I told you, I'd have to kill you.

Here we go...

Now you don't have to kill me

Now I am excited, Not that I am going to run out and buy the New Xterra. I hate the front Grille and have too much mula vested in my current 01.

I am excited as I am now the owner of the ORIGINAL Xterra, Unique and still my favorite. Good on Nissan for evoing the X to this extend but I'll keep my baby thank you very much.

The other upside is....change in Model means GREAT prices on the 2003-2004 models bought new...

I'm assuming that with the extended flairs mud guards aren't really important

Mmmm... Forbidden Xterra..

Looks like a step built into the rear bumper. Can just barely see something but it would be sweet if that's what it is!!!
