1995 Nissan Pickup XE King Cab review from North America

Steering was a little loose, but only after having been repaired for serious front end damage.

Catalytic Converter replaced, also from previously mentioned damage.

Tires replaced around 100k. I had the wide tires so it was $100 each (ouch).

Around 105k I had to replace all the belts and an idler pulley. Pulley seemed a tad expensive for a "little wheel".

I loved this truck, it seriously drove like a sedan. You didn't have that heavy feeling that most trucks give. The 4cyl engine sounds small at first, but I found acceleration to be more than adequate.

Hauling wasn't bad either. I once loaded a full ton of gravel for a job and this little Nissan took it like a champ. I also used it to haul a U-Haul trailer when my girlfriend moved for school. The 2.4L engine didn't have a problem here either.

One benefit of the smaller engine was mileage. I found myself averaging about 20 in city/ 24 freeway. Anyone who's owned a truck knows this is pretty good.

My only real complaint dealt with cab space. With the King cab you do technically have four seats (which I was forced to use on occasion) but it's really only meant for two people. You can carry three comfortably, but not for a long trip.

However, for those two people in the front seat the ride is fantastic. If my brother hadn't totaled my poor Nissan I would probably driven it until it died on its own.
