Datsun 720 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1980–1986) — First Generation
The first-generation Datsun 720 is a straightforward working pickup, built around a simple ladder-frame layout and a 1.5-cab body that adds a little space behind the seats without stretching the truck itself.
A typical Datsun 720 engine is a modest four-cylinder tuned for pulling rather than speed. The gasoline 1.8 comes with a manual or automatic gearbox driving the rear wheels, which suits everyday loads, while the 2.5 diesel pairs an automatic with all-wheel drive for heavier, rougher work. These are examples of the powertrain range, not the full choice.
