Kudos to the driver of the semi for his great defensive driving skills... things would have turned out to be more catastrophic if he had not taken the dirt embankment.

 I second that , ladder frame or not. Could have been worse if it was a gen 1. What a loss that would have been. Good thing it was only a gen 2

well the X might be totaled but I am sure the driver walked away. I had a guy road rage on my X , pre rock sliders. The X is tough.

I saw the NTSB testing results for the 1st gen X and it was given the #1 spot for roof strength. The explorer next to it was crushed really bad but it was hard to tell if the X was damaged in the picture.
BTW that was a first gen X. I slowed the video down and you can see the Nissan emblem in the middle of the rear hatch as 2nd gen X has it on the right side of the hatch.
