The Nissan D21 made for an excellent work truck and it’s legendary reliability was a major reason owners chose to maintain the truck rather than buy a new one. This is one of the most desirable models to enthusiasts. In 1990, the Nissan D21 received the same potent power plant as the legendary Nissan 240sx. Two wheel drive was standard with four wheel drive as an option. Power was supplied by either a four or six cylinder engine, and the truck was available in two body styles, standard and king cab. Design was done in San Diego, California, and that decision paid off, as buyers, accustomed to wimpy-looking import trucks or behemoth home market options found the tough look of the truck desirable. Nissan engineers picked up where the successful Datsun 720 truck had left off, building a durable, efficient and easily repaired truck. Owners today are amazed at the simplicity of maintaining these trucks with a Nissan D21 workshop manual.

The Nissan D21, commonly known as the “HardBody” in the United States, carried on the legendary durability for which Nissan trucks had become known. Today, Nissan is known for reliable family cars, durable trucks and some of the most exciting sports cars ever made. Nissan is a Japanese automobile manufacturing company that began building cars in 1933.
