Previous-generation Nissan Xterra

Previous-generation Xterras had a variety of engines from which to choose, none ever the perfect answer. Now there's just one: the 4.0-liter, 60-degree V-6--and it's exactly what this rig needs. This powerplant cranks out 55 more horses and 38 pound-feet more torque than the old supercharged V-6. Four-wheel-drive models get a secondary engine mapping that adjusts throttle response when in 4-Lo. A six-speed manual is standard and a five-speed automatic is optional; ours has the latter.

There are many models designed to fit over the tail gate of many common models. Some are smaller and simply create a little extra space with the gate open. Others create an entire room off the back of the vehicle with screened windows and room for the family. This choice is a matter of personal taste, budget, and intent. Another solution, which can compliment a truck tent or be used solo is a product called the "Magna Screen". These allow you to sleep with your windows down and provide a barrier against insects. Basically, a Magna Screen is a screen that fits magnetically over the exterior of your side window. They're inexpensive, durable and solve the problem nicely.
