by Justin Cupler
Nissan began manufacturing trucks in 1959, offering a relief to the gas-guzzling V8 trucks of the era. The initial Nissan pickup was the Datsun 1000, the first ever compact pickup truck. This truck spawned several other remakes of itself until the late-1960s. In 1979, Nissan moved to a new plant based in Tennessee and produced a new truck, the Hardbody or D21 for short. The 1993 model had several trim lines and engines available, the base-engine being the 2.4-liter.
Engine
The 2.4-liter base engine on the Nissan D21 has a bore of 3.50 inches, a stroke of 3.78 inches and a compression ratio of 8.6:1. It has four cylinders in a direct line, known as an inline four-cylinder (I-4). It has 12 valves in a single overhead cam (SOHC) configuration. This engine produces 134 horsepower at 5,200 RPM and 154 foot-pounds of torque at 3,600 RPM.

The fuel economy on this compact truck varies depending on the options selected. With four-wheel drive, it gets 18 miles per gallon in the city and 22 MPG on the highway.
