1987 Nissan Hardbody Pickup XE review from North America
"A good truck for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with this pickup. Routine maintenance is all this pickup needs. An oil change, new brakes and tires and this truck will run forever.
General comments?
This is a great truck for anyone wanting to go off road. It's very economical. I get about 26-28 mpg on highway. A lift kit would help if you wanted to go off road. The stock clearance isn't all that great. The ride isn't the best. When there is a strong wind and going up a hill there isn't much more left in the little 4 cylinder. If you're looking for more power try to find a SE. This has the V-6. One thing though I know people that have over 300,000 miles on this same pickup. So this truck will last.
