Nissan Xterra
1st gen 4x4, 2000–04

Factory gearing, tires, angles and brakes for the Xterra, and what the usual upgrades do to it. Every number is from the maker's own figures unless the calculators say otherwise. A few figures here are still waiting on a factory document; the calculators mark them.

* The maker doesn’t publish this figure for that trim, so it shows the closest trim’s (same tire where we have one), or a close relative’s that shares the same body or front end. Hover the star to see which.

Makers almost never publish angles, bottom heights or how far a bumper tucks, so these fill in as owners measure them. Measured yours? Add it on the rig page and every owner of this Xterra sees how it does on their tires and lift.

Use at your own risk. These calculators are here to help you plan and to inform your decisions, not to sign off on a build. Many numbers are estimates worked out from factory figures, and some factory figures are not yet confirmed. Check every number against your own truck, its manuals and a qualified shop before you buy parts, cut, weld, lift, regear or drive on it.
