1991 Nissan Hardbody Pickup Kingcab review from North America
"A cheap and reliable hauling cruise machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission grinds into reverse. The transmission was rebuilt right before I bought it. I changed the slave cylinder, but it still grinds. Hopefully when the clutch wears out and I change it, the grinding will go away.
Steering wheel grip has become rather loose, which I don't even notice anymore.
General comments?
This truck doesn't have a lot of power, obviously because it's a 4 cylinder, but I don't care, because of the great gas mileage.
I'm fairly tall, so the King cab helps as I keep the seats all the way back.
A couple of options could help out this truck a little, such as tilt steering, and maybe even air conditioning. A rear slider or sunroof would be great, but the two rear windows popped out creates a nice breeze.
