1982 Datsun 720 DIESEL review from North America
"Great running truck, great gas mileage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced rear and front bumpers.
General comments?
This truck is super reliable and gets excellent fuel economy, about 30 MPG. These Diesel motors last a long time, I've seen datsun diesel pickups with 295,000 miles without having the motor touched except for general maintenance. It is a bit low geared, and the body's rust very easily on these trucks, but all in all they were built to last. The Diesel motor has great power for a diesel, and will pull most things a full size truck will. Parts are easily obtained, even for the diesel motor. Great little truck.
