The Nissan Xterra is a truck-based compact SUV that was produced by Nissan from 1999 to 2015 in two generations. The first generation, which was produced from 1999 to 2004, shared a platform with the Nissan Frontier pickup, while the second generation, produced from 2005 to 2015, shared the Nissan F-Alpha platform with the Frontier and Pathfinder. The Xterra was designed to be a functional and reliable outdoor vehicle, with a marketing tagline of "Everything You Need, Nothing You Don’t." It was developed in La Jolla, California, by Nissan Design International and was the first Nissan vehicle to be entirely conceived, developed, and manufactured in the United States. According to Jerry Hirshberg, the president of Nissan Design International, the goal of the Xterra designers was to create an affordable, rugged, and quality vehicle. The Xterra was intended to be a "garage tool" that looked better dirty than clean, encouraging its users to treat it roughly and take it off-road. Both generations of the Xterra prioritized ruggedness, practicality, and affordability over luxury. They featured traditional body-on-frame construction and underbody skid plates, highlighting their truck heritage and off-road capabilities.
