1997 Nissan Pickup Review

A lotta truck for not a lotta bucks.

1997 Pickup Review Summary & Specifications

The Nissan pickup is entering its 10th year and we expect to see a new

model introduced later this year. The current model continues to be a solid

truck, however. It comes with a beefy chassis, a powerful driveline and

a body that is still stylish and distinctive.

Somewhere in the Nissan Truck line is a pickup for almost everyone.

The XE is a refined alternative to an economy car and with no-cost options

packages added in, it comes with a high level of standard equipment making

it a good value.

Without being the fastest or the flashiest trucks around, the Nissans

are well-suited to handling whatever chores are assigned to them. It might

be a good idea to shop elsewhere for the ultimate in off-road performance,

but Nissan offers a lot of truck for a relatively small price.
