1986 Nissan 720 Pickup extended cab review from North America
"Reliable utility vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Carburetor has been trouble since day one.
Had carburetor replaced at 308000 km, but still has bad idle and stalls.
Numerous electrical problems.
Transmission and clutch replaced at 270000 km.
Road and engine noise pronounced.
General comments?
All around versatile and reliable vehicle.
Economical to operate for a truck.
Uses or looses very little oil at high mileage.
Starts easily at temperatures below -30C.
Not the most comfortable or stylish primary vehicle, but reliable work truck.
Tires and wheels entirely too small from the factory and look strange on vehicle. 15" upgrade highly recommendable.
