Nissan Caball can easily carry a 2-ton payload. Moreover Caball is fast -- its maximum speed being 110 km/h. Today's fast moving world requires trucks with speed as well as power. Caball is tailored to fit this requirement. NISSAN Caball is not only fast and powerful but provides comfort, almost comparable to a passenger car. To produce more comfort for driver, an advanced system of long-span leaf springs, torsion bar stabilizers and highly efficient hydraulic shock absorbers are employed. A minimum turning radius of only 5.3m provides high maneuverability.

Roomy Cab
This cab has a lot of features to note. Visibility? Excellent. Because the windshield has a panoramic view which makes driving so much easier. The windshield has another feature -- it is made of safety glass. The safety cone type steering wheel, combined with a easy-to-reach automatic switch-off turn-signal and a horn ring, is slanted at an angle making driving easy. The instrument panel is compact and can be read at a glance. The light, roomy cab makes any drive in a NISSAN Caball a genuine pleasure.

A big steering wheel, readily visible meters, easily accessible switches and knobs -- they are all there to ensure safe and easy driving.

Ventilator that brings in fresh air under all weather conditions is installed in the front floor and the side of the cab. The volume of air is conveniently adjustable.

Driver's seat is a semi-bucket type adjustable fore and aft to a total of 110 mm to ensure a fatigue-free driving posture.

Spacious Cargo Deck
The wheelhouses are smaller to provide more loading space. The cargo deck is all steel and therefore extremely durable making it fit for any kind of cargo. The cargo deck is only 80cm above the ground which makes loading and unloading easier. This lowness of cargo deck means another thing—a low center of gravity which makes high-speed transportation more stable even under a full load.

Sturdy Chassis
Because the Caball is sturdily constructed, it will stand up to any strain or stress. The frame of high-tensile steel is highly resistant to bendings and torque pressures. This frame increases the strength and durability of the body.

If your task calls for fast movement of loads, then there is Nissan's new compact 2,000 cc 99 HP 4-cylinder petrol engine. Smooth, quiet and economical, this power-packed unit engine is an ever-willing and trustworthy worker anywhere, anytime. Strong torque is yielded widely at speeds from medium to low.
Where economy is of prime importance, this small, light, 4-cylinder, 4-cycle 2,200 cc diesel engine is the obvious choice.
Nissan Diesel engine was perfected after years of research and experiments. It has plenty of reserve power even with a 2-ton load. With a maximum output of 70 HP (4,000 rpm) and torque of 14.8 m-kg (4,000 rpm) its stamina is unexcelled. Moreover, it is economical, fuel consumption being low at all speeds and exceptionally quiet. A long trouble-free and economical life is assured by the first-class workmanship and the quality of materials used to produce these smooth-running units.

Nissan Caball is fitted with powerful hydraulic brakes, the brake pedal requiring only a slight pressure. Furthermore every type of Caball is equipped with a hydro-master which makes powerful brakes all the more powerful, thereby making quick braking easier and smoother.

I have a fondness for four-speed-on-column shifters. My Simca Aronde had one, as did my early-60s MBs (220SEb, 200D, etc.).
