I like the latest Nissan XTerra ads I've been seeing on TV; the ones with the math equations that take care to point out that the XTerra doesn't come with leather seats or "bling bling". Back when I was in Clemson, a guy in the car club who worked at CarMax used to tell me about how the XTerra was one of the only SUVs that was actually built like the truck it was supposed to be. It offers heavy duty 4WD differentials, etc., and is built on frame rails, rather than the unibody design of most cars (and modern SUVs). However, he lamented that people tended to ignore those features, and the most popular model by far was the 2WD model without all the offroad equipment. It's nice to see that Nissan also disapproves of this misguided interest, and is trying to restate the truck's real purpose.
