Fender Flares
Xterra's extra-wide fender flares are completely integrated — stamped out of high-carbon steel, not glued on as a separate piece. This helps protect the exterior finish and accentuates the aggressive styling.

The Bumps
Bump in back: outside, it's an Xterra trademark. Inside, it's the perfect nest for the available first-aid kit. Bump on top: notice the way Xterra's roof line bumps up at the rear seats? Xterra's rear seats are set a few inches higher than the front seats (we call it stadium-style seating). So to give you the head room you need, we raised the roof. Literally.

Ladder Frame
Anchoring Xterra is a fully boxed ladder frame. It features super-high tensile-strength steel in key areas, which is 90% stronger and 22% lighter than conventional steel. And over miles of rugged terrain like this, its solid framework allows the suspension to do its job.

Roof Rack
This tubular sensation features an aluminum construction with a gear box perfect for storing wet, dirty stuff. The gear box’s latched lid stays open when you’re loading it (even in a stiff wind), and is easily removed for larger items. Plus, there is a long list of accessories designed to work with the roof rack and your gear. Something this functional will definitely get used. And knowing the messes you get into, it’ll definitely need a good hosing down. No problem. We’ve built in bumper steps on each side to make getting up to the roof rack a breeze.

Step Rails
The tubular design step rails* are a great match with the roof rack; they also provide easier step-in, and are a helpful boost when you're loading the roof rack.

*SE only.

Bumper Steps
The rear bumper steps are located on both sides of the vehicle to help you put gear up onto the roof rack, or wash it down after a four hour mud bath.
