This is debatable. The Datsun name changed to Nissan in '82-ish with full change in '83? The last Nissan to be badged with the Datsun name has to be the Maxima. I had access to and stripped one. It was an '84 'goon and had DATSUN on one side of the back and NISSAN on the other.The badges are on the bottom of this post in the signature.

 

The 720 would have been the last Datsun truck.

This is an 84.....manufactured in 83....not sure of the exact date. It's the only 84 (that I've had) that has the Datsun 'emblem' on it.

Yeah Mike, I was talking truck, not all datsun.......I have had as far as 720's go: (this is on the tailgate) 1980 w/ Datsun, 1981 Datsun and in the corner by Nissan, 1983 Nissan and in the corner by Datsun, and plain 1984 Nissan.

 

Brand identity at its finest.

 

I seriously think Nissan should jump back on the retro bandwagon and bring back either the datsun line, or a retro truck with homage to the bullet door called the 620!!

 

Yay for my bright ideas, now if only I spoke japanese i might go over there and lobby that......

No, no no! The 720 was NOT the last truck optioned under the Datsun nameplate. The D21 hardbody was sold as the Datsun 4x4 in Japan (or China, can't tell what those characters are

) in 93, hence why my hardbody is still a Datsun!

WTF is that? I like that....

X-Trail we rented in Costa Rica in 2007. AWD (primarily FWD), QR25DE (or maybe QR20DE, but I think it was 2.5), 5sp. It was decent, although the trans liked to pop out of 5th all the time. That, and the rental company bolted on a skid plate without any lock washers or proper torquing, considering it fell off in the middle of the highway :rofl: Got to use the AWD a couple times climbing up wet and slippery backwoods roads...good times
