Originally an Arizona vehicle, this Nissan has never seen a Minnesota winter. It has 84,400 miles as of this writing. I've always kept it garaged during the cold months. Runs great with no motor or drivetrain issues. I call it a "personal responsibility" vehicle as everything is so hands on with it - manual window cranks, no power anything, wheel hubs to lock and unlock, manual transmission. It's wonderfully "trucky" and rides like a lumber wagon on newer heavy duty shocks and Firestone Destination A/T tires. The only real concession to creature comfort is the AC, which works great.

The best part about this truck though is the body. It was well worth a very thorough and very expensive paint job in 2011, at which time it also received a replacement bed since the old one had some issues. The vehicle is entirely rust free, and by that I mean no old rust damage or extra holes that have merely been repaired either. It is completely sound, including the floor pans, rocker panels, anyplace you can think of. All the paint work was done by a professional auto restoration firm in Minneapolis with the bed off and all the necessary bits and pieces removed, not just masked off. The wheels are reconditioned originals and look absolutely new. Overall a splendid old truck - it even still has its original factory tape player. Very clean and well maintained. It's just time for it to have a new home with someone who will care for it as well as I have.

Now the disclaimer: This tuck is 18 years old. It's not perfect but certainly about as nice as you're likely to find. There are going to be odd nicks, dings and scratches here and there, maybe even a couple I haven't noticed. The interior probably ought to be refreshed eventually and the exhaust is good but has likely been in place since the vehicle was new, so it might be a good idea to think about replacing that down the road too. But really that's about it as far as I can see

The pictures show everything pretty well so look at them carefully and ask any questions you have before bidding. Any sale is necessarily final.

Nissan teases new pickup on Twitter [w/video]

Tue, 03 Jun 2014

Nissan is celebrating 80 years of building pickup trucks by teasing its latest one on Twitter ahead of a June 11 reveal. Official information about the new vehicle is essentially nonexistent at the moment, but there are some clues to extrapolate from.
There's a special member of the #Nissan family on the way. Due date: June 11th. pic.twitter.com/OkQ0GkXypV

Nissan Rogue, Pathfinder and Infiniti QX60 recalled for loose lug nuts

Wed, 04 Jun 2014

Nissan has announced a small recall affecting 334 vehicles built just a few months back. 2014 Nissan Rogue and Pathfinder and 2014 Infiniti QX60 CUVs built between March 7 and March 10, 2014 could be susceptible to a loose lug nut on the passenger side wheels.
We shouldn't have to explain why a loose lug is a bit of an issue. Thankfully, it's also a ridiculously easy fix. Nissan obviously recommends reporting to your local dealer - and it will begin notifying owners of affected vehicles - but this is one of those rare recalls that has an easy DIY element to it.
Take a look below for a brief bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Car technology I'm thankful and unthankful for

Mon, Nov 27 2017

The past few years have seen a surge of tech features in new vehicles — everything from cloud-based content to semi-autonomous driving. While some of it makes the driving experience better, not all tech is useful or well thought out. Automakers who are adept at drivetrains, ride quality and in-cabin comforts often fail at infotainment interfaces and connectivity. From testing dozens of vehicles each year and in the spirit of gratitude, here are three car tech features I'm thankful — and a trio I could live without. Thanks Connected search: This seems like a no-brainer since everyone already has it on their smartphones, but not all automakers include it in the dashboard and as part of their nav systems. The best ones, such as Toyota Entune, leverage a driver's connected device to search for a range of services and don't charge a subscription or require a separate data plan for the car. I also like how systems like Chrysler Uconnect use Yelp or other apps to find everything from coffee to gas stations and allow searching via voice recognition. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto: It took two of the largest tech companies to get in-dash infotainment right. While they have their disadvantages (you're forced to use Apple Maps with CarPlay, for example), the two smartphone-integration platforms make it easier and safer to use their respective native apps for phoning, messaging, music and more behind the wheel by transferring a familiar UI to the dashboard — with no subscription required. Heated seats and steering wheels: I really appreciate these simple but pleasant features come wintertime. It's easy to get spoiled by bun-warmers on frosty mornings and using a heated steering wheel to warm the cold hands. I recently tested a 2018 Mercedes-Benz E400 Coupe that also had heated armrest that added to a cozy luxury experience. Bonus points for brands like Buick that allow setting seat heaters to turn on when the engine is remotely started. No thanks Automaker infotainment systems: Automakers have probably poured millions into creating their own infotainment systems, with the result largely being frustration on the part of most car owners. And Apple CarPlay and Android Auto coming along to make them obsolete. While some automaker systems, such as Toyota Entune and FCA's Uconnect, are easy and intuitive to use, it seems that high-end systems (I'm looking at you BMW iDrive and Mercedes-Benz COMAND) are the most difficult.
