1992 Nissan Hardbody Pickup Hardbody review from North America
"Looking at the entire concept of comfort, utility, and reliability, this is the best"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tranny (due to mechanic not installing pilot bearing when replacing clutch).
Clutch (when I burned it pulling a boat out of the water).
Alternator (twice when it was overworked charging a bad battery).
Head (when an alternator bolt came loose and the water pump wasn't being turned while on a trip).
Radio (the stereo receiver went bad causing a lot of static).
Fuel pump.
HT/A/C fan control (twice).
General comments?
The best road course pickup I have ever owned. I love to let it drift when on entrance or exit ramps of interstate. High speed cornering is responsive and dependable.
Stopping performance is excellent.
The extension of the cab permits very comfortable driving.
The layout of the mirrors permits quick and easy viewing around the vehicle.
The construction of the undercarriage and the way pipes and wires are connected reflects an appreciation for the interests of the consumer.
