Thread: Nissan X Trail

I just purchased a 2007 one, first job was to change the crank angle sensor! And it was in a horrible spot. it's 2.5 4wd as you say but remember they are CVT trans so heavy towing will probably lead to early re-builds ect. The bigger motor is definitely better in my opinion (a mate has a 2 litre one).

The CVT has an electronic manual shift (there are no gears as such) which should make it ok for downhill. What's better though is the 4wd lockup which even my Mu didn't have. So 4wd should be fine for what you want.

Oh btw yes definitely heaps of space for the family and gear.
