Nissan, the Company that Created the Compact Truck, Looks to the ...
Onto this scene emerged the Datsun 1000 compact pickup truck - the first truck of its kind. Although the Datsun 1000 only featured a 1000cc, 37-horsepower four-cylinder engine and a quarter-ton load capacity, it was the precursor of better things to come. The company also developed a series of breakthrough innovations that have become standard in today's marketplace. In 1969, the Datsun truck became the first half-ton compact pickup; in 1975, Datsun trucks offered the first long beds; and in 1977, the first King Caba extended-cab compact truck became available. After an extensive search, Nissan chose Smyrna, Tennessee, southeast of Nashville, as the site of the Nissan North America Manufacturing Smyrna & Decherd Tennessee Plant. In the past two decades, Nissan has invested more than one billion dollars into the plant and region, becoming a significant member of the Middle Tennessee business environment.
WREG-TV Memphis - 1997 Nissan Truck
Buyers expect a lot from small pickups. In some ways they expect more from a truck than they would demand from a car. Pickups are expected to carry loads, go off road, and take the abuse of construction sites and vacation trips. At the same time, they are expected to be reliable, comfortable and good looking. Some years ago, Nissan took a gamble. The company decided that appearance would play an increasing role in the truck-buying process. So a bundle of money was invested in a reshaped truck penned by the designers at Nissan's California studio. The result was the Hardbody-now called the Nissan Truck. The suspension consists of independent struts with torsion bar springs and a 23-mm anti-roll bar up front with a solid axle and leaf springs in the rear. This sturdy combination gives the Nissan a smooth, car-like feel, while giving it the ability to conquer the most challenging off-road terrain.
Crutchfield Advisor - Show Car - Eddie Hall's 1997 Nissan pickup
Eddie Hall needed only a few minutes of driving time in his recently-purchased 1997 Nissan extended cab pickup to determine that the factory radio had to go - not enough clean volume and too much distorted bass. Installing a great-sounding car stereo system doesn't have to be an expensive, time-consuming operation with the sole purpose of producing sound levels that can be heard a block away. Eddie Hall wanted a reasonable volume level with plenty of bass, and was able to improve the sound in his Nissan truck with a minimum of equipment, cost, and hassle.
2006 Nissan Frontier Truck Review - Edmunds.com
There are only minor changes to this Nissan truck for 2006. A power package with keyless entry, cruise control and power windows, locks and mirrors is available for the King Cab XE, and NISMO and LE models now have chrome accents on the gauge cluster and air vents. The Nissan Frontier shares its suspension layout and many component designs with the Titan, including a double-wishbone front suspension and leaf spring rear suspension. The Frontier Crew Cab is identical in length to the extended-cab (King Cab) version, but a larger rear-seating area and forward-hinged rear doors make it a flexible vehicle for family use - at the expense of some bed space. Interior storage space is also an important consideration when you're buying a pickup, and both the King and Crew Cab feature reconfigurable rear seats. Note that the Frontier is not available in a regular-cab version. Four-wheel disc antilock brakes with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution are standard on all Nissan Frontier models. Optional are front-seat side-impact airbags and curtain airbags that provide side-impact and rollover protection for front and rear outboard passengers. In NHTSA crash testing, the Frontier earned four out of five stars for driver and front passenger in frontal impacts.
Nissan Titan 4x4 SE Review
For those who may be planning to use their truck like a truck Titan offers some innovative utility. Standard spray-on bed liner with non-skid surface protects the bed. Lighting, fore and aft in the bed and a 12-volt power outlet near the tailgate adds to functionality. Toyota, Nissan and now Honda are all in the fray along with GM, Dodge and Ford trying to grab a bigger share in one of the largest and most profitable segments of the automotive market - full-size pickups.
