Over the last few years, more and more off-roaders have lost their body-on-frame construction in favor of a unibody one, as the market demands higher efficiency standards. While this does make a vehicle greener by reducing weight and offers it superior on-road handling, it also comes with a major drawback: it limits its off-roading abilities.
We are now here to talk about a vehicle that isn’t ready to give up its rough terrain capability: the Nissan Xterra. According to Car and Driver, the Xterra will stick to a body-on-frame structure.
Nissan engineers told the aforementioned source that the vehicle will share its platform with the Frontier for the future, which means that we’ll get the same ruggedness and desire to tear that rough terrain apart.
