00071

This is a Prince (Nissan) Skyway Pickup.

It does not have 4-wheel-drive, or a V8 engine with 400 horsepower, or LED driving lights, heated seats, back-up camera, and whatever else is required of human-sized “trucks” these days. 

Despite its 1.5-litre 4-cylinder engine with less than 70 horsepower, it’ll tow 10,000-lbs…once. I don’t think a full 4x8 sheet of plywood will fit as one piece, you can’t run power tools off a socket in its bed, and the tailgate has no built-in step.

So why do I want to live with it day-to-day more than a 2020 Nissan Titan?
