1993 Nissan Hardbody Pickup Base review from North America
"This truck is reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The cheap timing chain guide broke at 122000 miles. The dealer quoted $1200 to replace it. I bought the parts from Auto zone for around $150 and replaced the guide, tensioner and chain myself. I also replaced the fan clutch at around 110000 miles. Other than that nothing has gone wrong with this truck.
General comments?
I love this truck. It was previously owned by a friend so I knew how it had been treated when I bought it from him. I plan on keeping this truck until at least 200000 miles. It is ultra reliable. I average around 31 miles per gallon. The power curve on these trucks really goes up with higher rpm. If you keep a 2wd at around 55, you will get great mileage.
