1986 Nissan Pickup Reg. Cab 720 review from North America
"The BEST vehicle on the planet"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Just the usual. I had the radiator re-cored. I replaced most of the front end suspension. Other than that, nothing.
General comments?
This is the first vehicle that I have ever owned and I still love it. It has 280,000 miles on the original engine and tranny. It has a lot of dents and dings but it is my baby. I am going to rebuild the engine this fall and put in a dual exhaust. I don't need to do this. But, I would rather replace the engine than wait for it to die. Oh, yeah. My truck still gets 27 MPG.
