A dash means the maker’s documents we have don’t give that number for that configuration, and a column with no number for any configuration of the year isn’t shown. “Door label” means the maker prints it only on each vehicle’s certification label, and “not published” that the maker doesn’t print it, or points elsewhere. “Up to” is a ceiling the maker prints over several configurations; a range is the maker’s own, printed across the grades of that configuration.

02 / What changed

New for 2009

The 2009 Xterra against the 2008, the previous model year we hold. Only what Nissan’s documents show: nothing here is inferred.

No retail configuration added or dropped: the 12 sold in the 2008 are all here.
Same range as the 2008: towing and length.

The 2009 documents

3 documents behind the 2009 Xterra’s figures. The maker’s own come first; a third-party page fills in only a number the maker doesn’t publish, and wears its own mark.

Documents last checked Oct 9, 2026. How we read them and what the marks mean: how we source the numbers. A figure doesn’t match its document? Report a wrong number.
