2015 Last year for the nissan xterra.

I agree. It's a nice looking functional truck. I wish they did not scrap the name plate but rather updated the truck. All it needs is a better crash test and I would consider it seriously.

Nissan Xterra Discontinued in U.S. | Edmunds.com

As a owner, i can truthfully say, I love my 2012. Just a great all around vehicle. One of last true body on frame 4x4 vehicles. All the suv and cuv vehicles today look like eggs on wheels.
 
Another market segment seems to be disappearing. I liked the Dakota but I am sure the RAM costs about the same but can charge a lot more.
 
I'm pissed that the Durango is being discontinued, I love my fully loaded 13 Durango RT! Love the muscular looks and the Hemi, no other SUV looks like it. IMO best vehicle I ever owned.
 
I'm going with one of these.

Nissan has redesigned the Titan and from what I have read, I think it will be a serious truck. They need to do the same to the Frontier too now that the new Tacoma is coming in a few months. I like having several good choices instead of only 2.
It is a shame that this segment is reduced to the Jeep Wrangled. Not that I hate Jeeps, it's just that with no competition, they have no incentive to update.
