Not necessarily, although it is possible that Nissan could bloat the Xterra...
Having the same platform doesn't mean the frames will all be exactly the same size. What it means is that the frames will be modular using shared parts and the same basic design, saving money. So, the Xterra frame may be identical to the Titan except 2 feet shorter and a foot narrower or whatever. It would be interesting to see exactly how they do it.
Let's hope the new Xterra isn't all bloated! Sure be nice to see a small V8 option though! :D
