Are there weight limits on a Nissan Xterra?
Engine Choices: Unlike some of the other vehicle manufacturer’s weight limit charts, there were no engines specified in the charts for the Xterra’s, so the engine you had equipped did not affect the overall capacities at all.

If you see a single chart for multiple model years, the specs will be the same. Nissan recommends using trailer brakes with your SUV, when your trailer is in excess of 1,000 pounds (2000-2005 models) and 3,500 pounds (2006-2015 models) and is clearly posted in the owner’s manuals (image below).
