Brian Murphy, a Chicago area delivery driver set a goal in 2007 to put a million miles on his Nissan Frontier pickup truck. He accomplished that


a two-wheel-drive, 4-cylinder, 5-speed manual 2007 Frontier King Cab

Purchased new in June 2007, the original clutch lasted 801,000 miles, the timing chain was replaced as preventative at 700,000 miles, and the radiator and alternator lasted about 450,000 miles each. Even the driver’s seat lasted a half-million miles before being replaced.

Friends, I seriously doubt any car I've ever driven is able to achieve a million miles, nor would any engine I've ever driven get a million miles, no clutch I've ever used would last 800,000 miles.

I don't know how softly he drives this truck, but it's amazing.

  2. And then, on the eve of the model's production run, the guys at Nissan were good sports and gave him a brand new one, and will use the old one for advertising.
