1988 Nissan Hardbody Pickup King Cab review from North America
"Perfect"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
I have a 1988 Nissan Hardbody King Cab, 4x4 with the 2.4 legendary z24 engine, this is by far the most reliable truck on the face of the earth.
This truck had 224,000 miles on it when I bought it, and has not shuddered yet.
I drove this from Idaho to Texas, and it ran like a champ the whole way. 4x4 works great and the z24 still has a lot of get up and go. Never left me walking, I have trusted this truck with my life and would any day of the week.
My buddy has a 1990 Toyota 4x4 and what a death trap, I'm scared to ride to Walmart in that damn thing. What a joke, for all you people who THINK Toyota is the best, open your eyes, the Nissan is coming, long live the Hardbody.
