2014 Nissan Xterra vs. Its Competition

2014 Nissan Xterra 2WD 4-door Auto X Side Exterior View
Martin Padgett Martin Padgett Editorial Director

The Jeep Wrangler is as rugged as ever and maintains its same iconic design, but it's better than it used to be with Chrysler's Pentastar V-6 and five-speed automatic transmission.

The Toyota FJ Cruiser hasn't changed much over time, but remains one of the better choices for affordable off-roading–but it won't fit your family.

With families in mind, the Toyota 4Runner might make a better choice than the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, though 4Runners can get expensive in a hurry.

There's also the Land Rover LR4 for those with a larger budget and that same desire to play in the mud.
