The Nissan D21 Fire Truck stands out as a rare and purpose-built truck for firefighting duties in Japan and other regions where compact fire trucks were favored for their agility, practicality, and reliability. Powered by a 2.0-liter inline-four engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case, this 1990 example is finished in red over a brown interior. It features specialized firefighting equipment, including a water tank, a high-pressure pump, hoses, storage compartments for firefighting tools, and more. This D21 Fire Truck is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Texas with approximately 7k kilometers or 4k miles showing on the odometer.
This example is finished in red with Japanese fire department insignias, emphasizing its firefighting origins. Its truck bed has been replaced with a utility flatbed equipped with a gas-operated Rabbit P455 centrifugal firefighting pump, a water tank, hoses, nozzles, and shovels. Additional equipment includes roof-mounted red beacon lights, a siren, and red emergency response lights mounted on the front bumper. It rides on red-finished 15” steel wheels wrapped in Goodyear ICE Navi tires, and a spare tire is mounted beneath the flatbed. The seller notes a dent on the front bumper and fuel door area, although the truck remains in overall good condition. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
The right-hand-drive cabin features seats upholstered in brown vinyl and comes equipped with auxiliary switches and controls for operating the pumps, lights, and sirens, along with radio communication equipment. It has hand-crank windows, a cabin heater, and ventilation. The seller notes that the vents show signs of melting from heat exposure, and the rear seat is cracked and worn. All gauges and electronics are reported to be in proper working order.
Power comes from a 2.0-liter Z20S inline-four engine, which delivers a factory-rated 120 HP and 140 lb.-ft of torque to rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. The front suspension features an independent double wishbone design, while the rear is supported by leaf springs for handling heavier loads. Front disc and rear drum brakes facilitate stopping power.
This sale will include a spare tire, a Japanese instruction manual for the Fire Fighting Pump, and a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “This 1990 Nissan Datsun D21 Pickup Truck is a rare and collectible vehicle that combines practicality with historical significance. Its unique configuration and excellent condition make it a standout choice for enthusiasts, collectors, or anyone needing a versatile and reliable fire-fighting vehicle.”
