Back in 1997, Nissan was literally Giving their hardbody pickups away. I mean, $75/ month (lease) for a regular cab, and $95/month for the extended cab. Wife & I had a 94 Ranger that we loved, but it was a bit expensive for us at that time. So, we traded her Ranger, I parked my 88 LSC MKVI, and leased 2 for two years. OMG, I could NOT wait for the time to be up! To be fair, neither truck had any major issues, got ok mileage, hauled junk in the bed, never failed to start, etc. (Both had 5 speeds, too). But they were the most BORING trucks to drive! Not very powerful (4 cyl), lousy shifter, cheap hard plastic interior parts, just that typical tinniness found in **bleep** vehicles at that time. The Ranger was luxurious, compared to the Nissans. My Lincoln LSC was like a sports car. Interestingly, Nissan had leased soooo many of these things out, that when 2 years was up, the market was flooded with them. Could have bought one cheap! My answer was Buh Bye to those two, and any other Nissans to this day.
