1997 Nissan Pickup EX review from North America
"This truck is awsome and seriously reliable!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Coolant just started to leak.
Original rotors need replaced.
Clutch slips a little.
Oil pressure switch was leaking and timing chain is rattling and both happened after I switched to synthetic oil. So these could have been prevented.
General comments?
This is one of the most reliable cars or trucks you can find. All I have done is change the oil and oil filter, watch the fluid levels, give it a couple tune-ups and changed the brakes once. I've also delivered pizzas with it the past 100,000 miles which involved lots of city driving. I drove the truck pretty rough too. When you consider all of this, this truck is a beast.
