Yes or make a Pathfinder based off this with some throwback styling from that era. Would be a great option to the 4Runner especially when it goes 4 cylinder turbo/hybrid
This looks fantastic. Especially to this 48yr old who used to really want the original Hardbody back in high-school. Now, if Nissan offered this in light blue with blue interior and a pop-up sunroof it'd definitely in my garage!
My parents had an ‘88 Nissan pickup in that same red color, camper shell and carpet kit in the back so we could ride in the bed comfortably. Great truck, good on Nissan for bringing that back for us 40 something’s to reminisce over and hopefully buy up.
I love Nissan trucks and am disappointed to see them underrated. But I love this retro styled truck and I think they nailed it, especially with those retro styled square headlights and the blacked out front bumper. This is great that Nissan is doing something fun with their lineup to add some competition to Toyota.
I have a ‘95 Hardbody in my garage next to my 2nd Gen Tacoma … guess which one has the heaviest duty axles, driveline, control arms, and even has a steel bed … nope, none of those statements apply to the Tacoma … it’s the HARDBODY!!! Amazing how much heavier duty these old Nissans are than the new Toyotas.
It _is_ called King Cab. I'd go for the base model, but there are only like 16 total nationwide King Cab S trim level, all of them being 4x4. The Hardbody wheels are nice.
I drive a 2005 Frontier Nismo Off Road. Truly disappointed in the 3rd gen Frontier. Build quality is not there. Price is too high. They're not selling that many. Just wished they would have kept the price advantage that was the hallmark of the 2nd gen Frontier. No matter what you think of the Tacoma, it just does NOT make sense for the 3rd gen Frontier to cost MORE than a comparably trimed Tacoma ! On many Frontier forums and I'm seeing more and more posts about quality issues with the new Frontier which just come down to it not being built to high quality and ruggedness standards. Just disappointing is all... Don't really care about special editions..., would be happy with a price drop and an uptik in build quality !
@devildog5354 For sure, but the sheer number of complaints and the nature of the complaints surprise me. These are not benign complaints and not few and far between. And as for the price, Nissan just did not get it right ! New shapes and plastics don't justify a 10K jump in price !
The thing is the Hardbody never had “Hardbody” badges on it, so I think it’s true to the original not to say it. I’m sure there was internal debate about that one detail for this package.
I wish they would debuted one as the king cab. But I prefer the looks of the frontier as it's a good work truck design than the tacoma. As the Tacoma has gotten to be like the glitsy sports truck.
To bad Nissan turned The Pathfinder into a mom Mobile, Nissan should have kelp that to compete with the 4Runner. They should have called that Mom Mobile something other than a "Pathfinder", cause it's not a pathfinder, it's a Citysleeker. Nissan has nothing to compete with the 4Runner.
The 2022 and older frontiers are better. The hood on the 2023 is so much taller you lose a lot of the view in front of you. And the center console handle grabs take away leg room and are useless.
Nissan should just sell the NP300 its made in Mexico so there is no chicken tax, at this point its the only truck Nissan makes that is capable of being an actual work truck that can be used for actual work.
I wish Nissan would make an Xterra out of this platform

@Brian_Eugene_LeeThose are damn strong trannies.
I used to have a Nissan Pathfinder SE back in the day. Fully loaded. Mickey Thompsons. Full Leather. Loved that thing.

I love this so much. I don’t even want a pickup and I like this.
Only a woman would say they don't want a pickup😂

Kinda cool with the old SE model rims. Funny I hated those back in the day...They grew on me.
I will give it to Nissan....that nailed this retro model. 😎👍
35k gets you a 4x4 small pickup good job nissan
Wish we could go back to the hard body/ S-10 size truck days, love the simplicity too

Definitely love the V6 Frontier 😊
Nissan really should make the next r36 gtr retro which is probably in 2028
What i like most on this pickup is naturally aspirated engine and for sure it lasted for a long time.
Wish it came in a manual
I owned a 1992 Nissan Hardbody 4x4; that was a great truck, barely had a scratch and the engine was amazing. KA24E

Still applies to this day
I think that this thing looks cool!
I like it! And I’m not even a Nissan guy!
I like that it’s coming from a “tacomafan”.😂
Excellent
Nissan nailed it
Always loved the D21 body. My buddy had 23 first gen pathfinders which some were bush buggy.
As someone who lives in Georgia/Alabama.....WTH is snow?
Looks sick! Hopefully it comes with an electronic locking rear diff.
I love the Frontier! I might buy it over the new Tacoma since I really want the V-6 engine... thanks Kirk for the video!
It's still the king cab but the rear seats are facing forward
D21: "we are not the same"
anyone whole what the tires are called or where i can buy them? would look sick on my 2022 P4X

What color would y'all get? Is the red a little too loud and immature?
If it doesn’t have a cheesy squiggle decal option I’m disappointed. Look at Toyota with their heritage edition with the decals
frontier still hass leaf spring rear, i wish it had the 4 link since were stuck with it for 14 years
When can we actually order one?
It should have had the LED Lights & Locking Rear Diff. And it should have said Hardbody somewhere on the back. Then it would have felt more special.
The thing is the Hardbody never had “Hardbody” badges on it, so I think it’s true to the original not to say it. I’m sure there was internal debate about that one detail for this package.
@@bigd7386 Good Point.
Won’t it also be awesome if they did a Datsun edition with the old Datsun logo on the truck.😃

Total complete letdown on Nissans part, Nissan just did to the Hardbody name what GM did the Blazer name.

I’d consider getting one if it wasn’t DI only. I’m not fing around with gummed up valves. Build quality is also NO WHERE near the 4Runner.
The only thing missing is a manual transmission.
They use those old wheels there gonna sellout in minutes!
Only problem is Nissan has built trash quality vehicles since 2000. Before then were legends and are still going. A bit like NOKIA
