Doing idle research on my (potential) next vehicle.
Though I like my 4runner it will be approaching 150k soon. Thinking of switching up, maybe next year. Reason I'm looking at Nissan is that I've decided I want to go back to a manual tranny - getting irritated with the 4runner's slushbox.
So I saw this on Edmunds and couldn't believe it. Of course, I know Edmunds sometimes gets it wrong so I wanted to fact-check it here:
The bolded text is what has got me curious. I remember looking at a few Xs when I was shopping for my 4runner in 2009 and I thought all of them had a standard 4wd system, i.e. 2wd, 4hi, N, 4lo with 4wd only usable on low-traction surfaces. Never heard of an X with a multi-mode T-case. I think Edmunds must have got some bad info? Or is this true?

All Nissan Xterra models feature a 4.0-liter V6 that makes 265 hp and 284 lb-ft of torque, generous figures for this class. A six-speed manual transmission is standard, and a five-speed automatic is optional. Four-wheel-drive versions use a multimode transfer case that offers 2WD and automatic 4WD modes, in addition to low-range gearing, for maximum flexibility in varying conditions.
