Review

This is by far the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. I purchased the truck new in 1992 and I'm still driving it almost every day. It is now 15 years old and has 252,000 miles on it. Most important is that, except for the paint, it is in original condition. By that I mean that there has been no engine or other drive train work done on it. It still has the original upholstery (no worn out spots in it), muffler, air conditioner and even shocks. Maintenance has been limited to consumables like oil, filters, hoses, brake pads, etc.

Favorite Features

Simplicity. There are no bells and whistles on this truck that are subject to break or fail.

Suggested Improvements

I don't know how this truck could be improved. I've owned several other larger, prettier, and more powerful vehicles during the period I've been driving this truck. None have provided equal service.

Review

I have had many cars and trucks but I really just like driving my Nissan. It has been a very dependable and reliable friend over the years. It's outlasted two wifes! Great engine, excellent build quality, fantastic off road capability, comfortable seats and overall a nice looking rig. Highly recommended. The bed is 6'8", longer than most. If you put a top on it you can sleep in back easily making weekend trips to the beach or mountains fun and economical. Try it, you'll like it!

Favorite Features

Excellent 4x4 capability takes me anywhere, safely and reliably. Nothing stops my Nissan. I love to drive it in snow storms. Great suspension, good low end torque, low gear transfer case and full locking axle up front. Indestructible engine. No rattles or squeaks after 15 years.

Suggested Improvements

Could've put a cup holder inside! Its ok, I bought an aftermarket center console at walmart for $20 that fit right in and has four cup holders. A bit better mileage would also be welcome. It's decent at 15-18 overall, but wish it were more like 25 or so.

I have over 200k on my nissan and it still runs great, doesn't use a drop of oil, and have never had to do any serious repairs. It gets excellent highway gas mileage (23 MPG) and is the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. I'll never buy any truck other than a Nissan again!

Favorite Features

Reliability, fuel economy, fun to drive

Impressive little truck

Review

Since I have purchased this vehicle I have been delightfully impressed on how easy it is to work. It was in really poor condition when I got it from an auction sale, but I have put over $600 into the vehicle doing most of the work myself. It is a very easy vehicle to work on. There is a pesky oil leak that I am trying to track down, it sputters on acceleration which swapping out the injectors should fix that problem. I was suprised to find that after a recharge of the AC system that it works just fine. Otherwise it's fun to drive.

Favorite Features

Easy to work on.

Review

The biggest issue with this truck was a timing chain tensioner, which they had a service bulletin for, and isn't that hard to replace. Otherwise, the truck has performed GREAT!

Blast to drive

My used Nissan Truck

Review

I bought my 1993 Nissan King Cab Pickup with 94,000 miles on it and it now has 152,000. I have the 4-cylinder / 5 speed combo and feel the power to weight ratio on the 4WD is not good enough. The additional transfer case weight, suspension, slighly bigger tires absolutely rob this motor of power. A small truck such as this should get 17 - 18 MPG, not 14 - 15. It does have reliability and true toughness on back roads, so camping is a non-issue. I am pleasantly suprised about where it can go. It does boast a thicker / heavier frame than a Toyota. However, buy the Toyota. A cheaper Nissan is NOT the answer. If you are looking at trucks, and are afraid to spend the extra money up front cost on a a Toyota, buy one anyway.

Favorite Features

This truck with proper shocks / tires is indeed just plain tough!

Suggested Improvements

More power from the 4-cylinder engine.

Review

Overall I am very happy with the reliability and performance. It has been over 10 years, and I have not had any major problems. I merely change the oil, fluids and filters when scheduled. I get 28 miles per gallon even now.

Favorite Features

Suggested Improvements

The tailgate retains water inside when it rains, which causes rusting from the inside out - no adequate drainage.

Review

I've had this truck for the last 9 years and it is the most reliable and maintenance free vehicle that I've ever owned. The only feature that I can truly complain about is the hard to get at release for the spare tire. Additionally, the gas mileage is OK at about 20/22 MPG.

Favorite Features

Reliability.

Suggested Improvements

Improve the spare tire release.

Review

The Nissan (1993) Hardbody ext. cab which I actually purchased in June of 1992 is got to be the most long lasting and reliable small trucks ever built. To this date (Nov.03)their has not been a wrench pointed at this truck in other than scheduled Maintinece! Did I mention the miliage? 200,000 miles!!! Enough Said.

Favorite Features

Long lasting materials inside and out.

Suggested Improvements

Carry all the quality to the next line of full size trucks (Titan) and put a 10 year warranty with it. It would out sell and out last all competitors.
