2012 SV 4WD, black on black

Just got this two weeks ago. This rides so much smoother than my 2011 Xterra.

I LOVE THIS THING!!

So much more power than the current crop of girly SUVs with the 3.5 liter engines.

Going to keep this forever.

Glad you like it. I have the same as yours, just a 2011. I remember punching it and it taking off and thinking that it felt like a SUV version of a 350z. I might be exaggerating a bit, but for a heavy vehicle that 4.0 really moves. Can only image the V8.

Congrats!!

yes I was also driving Xterra when I bought my R51 ...was surprised at the pull even tho the R51 is 400 lbs heavier and has same engine.

That factory more aggressive engine tune for premium is noticeable.

Also at high speeds the R51 is a much better vehicle due mostly to its longer wheelsbase and coilover rear suspension (vs leafs in the Xterra).

I do still own an Xterra too though..
