    It's so wild that Nissan, Toyota, Ford, and I'm sure others, sold 4-door pickups decades before we got them here in the states. Very cool to see a review of this truck! It seems like an alternate reality.

      The first 4 door pickups were International Harvesters but they didn't catch on until 30 years after they were gone

    TD27 Engine is one of the most durable engines ever created. Has a Timing Gear. No Belt. No CHain.

    I always like your reviews, you do stuff you normally don't see others do, like this truck. One thing there is no such thing as a choke on a diesel. The pull knob is just throttle increase, very common on older diesels because they take forever to warm up at idle.

    I drove Toyota Hilux and diesel Ford Rangers in Afghanistan. They're indestructible and were abused all the time. I'd definitely buy a small diesel pick up if I could.

    Here in Mexico they were sold until 2008 I think, but they were gasoline versions. People call them "estaquitas" the official name was "Nissan Camiones" that means Nissan trucks.

    I believe some of the later Datsuns/Navaras came with a 'TD27T' which as the T implies, is turbo. The TD27 itself also came speced as the TD27Ti, which was intercooled, and the TD27ETi, which is electronically controlled. Not sure where the Ti was used, but the ETi was speced in the Mistral, Pathfinder, and Terrano. Cheers from New Zealand.

    • @jdmcarandmotorcycle
      @jdmcarandmotorcycle 10 місяців тому

      TD27 TI means turbo intercooler
      ETi electronic turbo intercooler and first TD27T only turbo 100 hp
      Ti 110hp
      Eti 130hp
      QD32 150hp
      ZD30eti 170
      ZD not so reliable 😊

      also crew cabs in pickup trucks were created to avoid the chicken tax what they did was to make the cab a few inches longer and put very uncomfortable seats just to not pay taxes but then they decided to use them (but now more long and more comfortable)

    I drive an sd22 powered, 5 speed, 2wd datsun 720 daily, it's slow slow. Like... we call it supergramps cause it's super slow. 😂 but 30+mpg and enjoyable to drive. Lots of people ask if it's really a diesel

  • @jvinsnes
    @jvinsnes Рік тому

    It's not a choke, but a hand throttle that you can use to increase the idle while warming it up or when you need to run high power electric gadgets like winches or when jump starting other cars

    because it's technically not it holds the throttle open a little unlike a choke that floods carby with fuel.

    I like the Datsun lineup. Also decently ecquipped. Japan is not much about pickups but it´s kinda like a new one not just for work.
    I also like these "high versions". I don´t think it´s called Datsun cuz of the USA but because higher prized vehicles were once named Nissan in Japan and smaller and lower prized cars Datsun.
    Btw this Datsun lineup was sold until 2002! I
