Yup. Sounds excellent. I have a 92 Pathfinder. Been amazed how it keeps running. Had 116,000 miles on it and now over 310,000. Put new axle shafts in front and wheel bearings, ball joints, tie rods, and pretty much all other bushings in front. New shocks all around too. New fuel pump, and basic maintenance (plugs, wires, rotary and cap etc...) starting to rust out on rocker panels and bumpers, under back seats, exhaust pipes and muffler. Door handles broke off on driver and passenger doors. But I tell you what... I have 4 wheeled my beast through some insane stuff. It goes in areas my 80 Chevy won't. Between trees and rocks. Only was stuck once because of crappy tires and 16-24 inches of wet snow.

But it was on my property. Put Blizzack snow tires on it and I was stunned how well that combination worked. It has the V6 5 speed in it. In 4 wheel low first gear I actually got out and walked next to it going up a good rough grade. Love my psychopathy. Got a 89 Hardbody that I'm going to put a V6 in. Can't wait. Just a lot of fun to drive these things.

Great to hear about your ride and how well it has done. If you get a Path you will really like it. Good luck.

1992 Nissan Hardbody Pickup 2.3 litter from North America

Summary:

Nice truck, good gas mileage, and very reliable

Faults:

I have replaced brakes on the vehicle once every 3 years or so.

Muffler replaced 3 times since owning vehicle.

Cat converter replaced a few years ago, truck actually has 2 small ones on it.

Starter went after 126,000 miles.

Starting to notice rust on body now, after 13 years.

I was going thru tires allot until I got a good front end alignment. Now Tires have been replaced every 2 years, at about 10,000 miles per year.

General Comments:

This truck has been very reliable. I purchased it in 1996, and I still drive it today. Most of the problems I have had with it have been normal wear and tear. I would suggest this truck to anyone who wants good reliability, and a long lasting truck.

Do you think that the Automatic transmission is capable of hauling a load of 1200 lbs on the box?

Summary:

Faults:

I have owned my little Nissan pickup for over 8 years now, and so far the only thing's I have needed to replace are the starter, tires, brakes, exhaust, and oil changes. As of this month I have personally put over 100,000 miles on this vehicle.

General Comments:

I swear this truck is the most reliable vehicle ever made. I have owned it for 8 years and it still runs strong.

I've put just over 170,000 on my 95. I traded in a 94 (with over 30,000 miles) for the 95 extra cab.

I cannot believe how reliable these trucks are. The only thing replaced under 100,000 miles was the alternator. It's still got almost all original parts, including the clutch. Even though I've regularly towed a small boat.

I don't know how the new Nissan trucks compare, but the ones of this vintage are bullet proof.
