Mileage may vary...lol had a 2001 Xterra (RIP)

Replaced it with a 2013 Xterra which we still have. Have since added a 2020 Titan, and a 2025 Pathfinder.... The original Xterra only died because it drove through two deer at 75 mph. For the others, I can count on one hand all of the repairs outside of tires and brakes... My experience with Nissan has been quite the opposite of yours. I do understand their experiment with CVTs didn't go well, but none of my vehicles had one and that's now run it's course.
