Trailing to Patagonia: The Car


Behold the Xterra! We just purchased this SUV less than a month ago after looking online and visiting several dealerships. We had to go get it to New York city (we live in Fredericksburg VA) but it has everything that we need. It's a manual transmission 4x4 and it has a 6 cylinder engine. We replaced the radio (we'll be sitting in this car for many many hours so we need good music), put a 7 pin wiring harness for the camper's electric brakes and it's ready to go! It is more than enough to tow our 3000 pound Cub and to hold all our stuff and our friends Sarah and Matt that will be joining us in California. We are very excited to start this trip and to post all our adventures!

  2. Of course it is a manual. I would have been disappointed it it wasn't! I am going to miss you both, sorry I can't make it back for the party. Good luck on your travels!
