1985 Nissan 720 Pickup 720 King Cab review from North America
"The most reliable trail runner you can find for the year and price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing mechanical has gone wrong with this truck since I have had it.
General comments?
I love this truck. I got it in 2002 with only 64,000 original miles, one owner. The truck has no dents, rust, anything. Within the first week I had it, I installed a bush guard (2 Desert Fox Fog Lights mounted), skid plates, roll bar (4 KC HI-lites mounted) 31" Super Swamper TSL's, and a 3 inch a/c body lift. I have run this thing around on the trails keeping up with all the other trucks without a problem. Currently I am only running 31's. A small problem was putting them on with the lift because I had a little rub with them. Not too much though. Within the next month will come a 3" Suspension lift, and that should eliminate any problems. A friend of mine put 33" inch tires on his 720 with a 3 inch lift and minor fender trimming. Another problem I had is a noticeable loss of power with just the 31"s.. Yet this truck is still very reliable, and without a doubt, one of the best trucks made in it's year.
