You need to replace your upper and lower intake manifold gaskets and replace your water pump, this will take care of your problem

If the fan is not cycling when the engine gets hot, you'll have to test the fan motor and the temperature sensor. If the fan is running and it's still hot, the thermostat may be the cause.

I have a 2001 nissan xterra 6 cyl I have replaced the thermostat and still its overheating. What is the next step?

I can't believe that your radiator is shot, it's a new truck. How about clogged? How about full of bugs or hay in the front? How about the coolant? Are you running coolant or water? Look for white smoke or steam coming out the exhaust after it warms up. This you don't want to see. I would get it to a radiator shop and have them check it for a blown head gasket. They will be able to tell what's happening.
