They are as you said; Reliable and un-killable and that is the exact reason why you just don't see new vehicles like this anymore. It's the very reason why corporate decided to end the Xterra line. People loved them too much, kept them for too long without any major issues, and we never updated the vehicle. Nowadays, cars and trucks are given new trims, styling, and features almost every year and people have too many reasons to buy new. It's an ever changing world we live in.

Sure it's got EFI, but otherwise it is just so simple by comparison to anything you can buy now; hose out vinyl floor, simple cloth seats, no A/C, no airbags, no ABS, no TCS, manual winder windows, even has quarter vent glasses. I drive it everywhere, every day and I have done for 3 years now. Apart from some dirty earths needing a hit with a wire brush, it has been absolutely faultless.

+DangerDavez hell, I pulled a 22 foot trailer with a mega truck tahoe on it pretty often with my 1994 Chevy s10 with the 4.3l v6. only thing it ever struggled with was getting up a hill, but there is rarely a large hill around me. It never once gave up. I'm pretty sure if you had the 4.0 in the ranger or the 3.5 in the bardbody it would do the same with ease. haha.

I have the 1994 hardbody white in color. It has the v-6 3.0 engine and is a 5 speed. It is the king cab. Everything still works and it was kept in a garage so the original paint is in excellent condition. It had right over 33k miles on it when I bought but it had been sitting for over 2 years. I had the timing belt changed since it was 20 years old and all of the vacuum lines. I drive it daily and it is very dependable. ac/heat/cruise control/4-wheel drive/power rear view mirrors all still work. The inside is in like new condition. I just hot 48k on it last week. I have taken it off road a few times and it does great. When you put it in 4 wheel low it's like an army tank. They are nice trucks but are very loud on the inside when driving on the interstate. One great thing about the model that I have is that the fan for the ac/heat blows very hard so it cools and heats like no other.

Man, talk about a relic of a bygone era. These are the kind of trucks I remember riding in as a kid (I’m almost 40 now). I bet this little truck is a ton of fun to drive in it’s own way.

I had an 89 Hardbody Special that I bought new. Z24 4 cylinder, 5 speed, king cab, charcoal gray. Awesome and tough little truck! I had it for 6 years and well over 100k miles. Very few small small, inexpensive, and easy to fix issues. Nothing that was a show stopper. The issue that was not easy to fix was the clearcoat over the paint on the hood and roof. This was in the sun belt and after 4 years it started to fade which later started to blister then peel. Periodic waxing before this didn't seem to help. But still, I wish they still made a little truck just like my beloved and dearly missed D21.

I agree on taking care of these. Just had a guy come in the shop with a.....96 or 97. Can't remember for sure, but he had around 240k on the odo, and it really needed a timing chain component kit. You could hear it starting to slap around. I priced him out that, water pump, all the major front/top engine seals, filters, fluids, etc. and it wasn't a cheap bill. I explained if he wanted to maintain the thing, it was a smart move. He was thinking about just selling it, until I asked "What are you going to buy instead? You can't get modern compact truck. If you want one, the best thing you can do is treat the one you have right and don't cheap on the maintenance." You could see the light go on in his eyes. He responded with, "Y'know, it hasn't had the diff or trans fluid changed recently, and go ahead and add all the cooling hoses." Smart man.

My dad had this truck(1990) in white in the late 90s to early 2000s. I loved that truck and called it the white monster because it was a bit rusty. I drove it in high school and took it deer hunting off road. Road tripped to New York from Ohio. Got a kiss from a girl i had a crush on. Lots of memories. Died ar 330k miles. It liked to blow tie rods. The radio wasn't great but worked but you didn't need much when you were listening to Dire Straits on cassette. The jump seats were nice in a pinch, we even had four of us in there which was me and two teenage brothers and our dad, drive two and half hours on a small road trip. The engine sound really takes me back. The tires also sucked but it did okay in the snow when you went out, locked the hubs manually, and switched to 4 low. My dad was also a part time fire and ems guy so when the sirens went off, my dad literally peeled out and id hear him red line until out of ear shot and me being a hugh school kid, was running it hot all the time doing fish tails. We hauled rocks, mulch, rototillers, camping gear, everything. No issue. Had a really high suspension too. The seats WERE verh comfortable. If you're looking at this truck and seeing if it sucks, it doesn't. Its awesome and after my kids are gone, will get this truck. You'll just love this truck.
