1985 Nissan 720 Pickup King Cab DX review from North America
"Good transportation truck and light hauling"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Carburetor had to be replaced when I bought it.
It needed new Tires when I bought it also.
I have had Electrical problems with the instrument cluster (Nothing major though).
I have had to replace the alternator at 200000 miles.
The A/C Compressor is currently bad on the vehicle.
The Transmission had to be rebuilt at 246111.
Engine had to be rebuilt at the same time as the Transmission.
The Shocks had to be replaced at 210000 miles.
The Front End (Steering) had to be replaced at about 215000 miles.
The Recliner mechanism for the driver's seat is stripped out (it is being held up by an old milk crate).
The interior is in a bad state of repair.
The truck got wrecked (and repaired) at about 244000 miles.
General comments?
The truck has been in reality, even though the truck has had to have a lot of help in getting it back up to good running shape, a very good truck for me. The only thing that I don't like is the gas mileage that I get (15 miles to a gallon).
