Questions about xterra and other suv's.

Mar 24, 2005 2 Replies

I am looking for a small suv that does not do too bad on gas mileage and is very reliable. I currently drive a 89 f150 that gets less than



14 miles to the gallon. I drive about 50 miles a day by myself but what

like the capability to carry the family of 4 occassionally. I also want



a 4 wheel drive.


Been looking at used vehicles and found a 2000 xterra with about 77,000



miles. Are these reliable? Are they decent on gas?


I have also looked at a Grand Cherokee which I loved but when I look at



reliability info it scares me:

I would like to be able to haul a trailer occassionally when I need to.


Any advice?

I bought a 2001 Pathfinder SE last spring with 99,000 miles on it. Maybe not as thrifty on gas as a Subaru, but quicker on less gas (and more comfortable) than my 5.0L 86 F150 4X4 ever was.

2000 & earlier Pathfinders had 170 hp, 2001 and later 240 hp.
