I have a 2002 Crewcab Short Bed XE Cloud White, automatic. I’m the original owner I purchased it New From Stevens Creek Nissan San Jose Ca. In 21 years I have replaced the battery 3 times the timing belt once/water pump serviced at same time. Only item to break is a A/C line leak which was replaced at around 50k miles. Other than brakes and tires, I’ve installed 3 batteries all Nissan 5 year batteries. I’ve replaced the interior heater fan motor myself. I have a Snugtop Camper shell since new. Truck still looks great and I get offers to buy my truck all the time. No rust. I recently replaced all my dash/ interior lights with leds great upgrade!

Got a long bed, crew cab. Been through the desert of Big Bend to the beaches of Padre Island. At 200k, only had to replace the clutch and the radiator. Don't drive it much now, my fishing truck. Always had seat covers so seats are pristine. Wish it had Bluetooth. Not a week goes by that someone knocks on my door asking to buy it. None of the youngsters know how to drive a standard so I teach the neighborhood kids how to drive a stick.

A no frills truck, 2wd, king cab, 5 speed, value package. I also own a 1993 hardbody and never had any technical issues until after 140,000 miles with mediocre maintenance on my part. This truck had no build issues. These trucks make great fleet vehicles.
