1997 Nissan Pickup Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1997 Nissan Pickup appreciate its reliability and good looks, especially in 4x4 configurations. Many enjoy the fun driving experience on rough roads and the truck's strong performance. However, common concerns include high fuel consumption, mechanical issues such as the handbrake and starter motor, and rust problems over time."
truck is easy to work on, easy to drive, holds good amount of cargo for small truck, 4X4 works great in snow, has over 160,000 miles on it burns zero oil its a good value for the money, would recommend to anyone but make sure you throughly inspect vehicle before buying they are prone to rust
March 28, 2014I h owned a 1997 4x4 extended cab Nissan XE truck from 1997-2004. It was a dependable good looking truck but was only available with the 4 cylinder in the 4x4 which got about 12 mpg in the city and maybe 15 mpg highway with the 5 speed straight drive transmission. Nissan screwed up that year by not continuing the 6 cylinder version.
April 16, 2023Fuel consumption is high.. Hand Brake seldom has worked properly.. Tappet noise always prevalent in V6 motor. Has needed starter motor repairs. Rust beginning to be a problem. Drivers seat partially collapsed. Fun to drive in the country on rough roads

June 18, 2011had this truck for a while and was very good to me. eventually tho my tranny was going and had to get rid of it.
July 5, 2008Good truck, reliable. First car I bought new. I had it from 1997-2000. It was a good truck, went pretty fast for a 4 banger and was very reliable. I also liked the color, they look best in black IMHO. Mine did not have steel rims however, it had the aluminium mags.
July 10, 2009Performance - 1400 not even featured in their list. Bumps a lot. Build Quality - does not dent easily. Appearance - Timeless. Cost of ownership - not very light on fuel. Fun factor - like a bumpy Merry Go Round! Engine not so complicated that Nissan can service it. Big plus!
September 10, 2010its a reliable ride not to fast has 4x4 the paint sucks and its small inside but other then that its very reliable
