What are you basing that on? Nissans are some of the worst-rusting vehicles out there.
I am basing it on the fact that my uncle works for a local Toyota dealership here in Western Massachusetts and he replaces Toyota Tacoma frames on a daily basis some as new as three years old! This same dealership also ownes a Nissan dealer and my uncle works there as well and he has yet to replace a Nissan Frontier frame.
Also my 2012 Nissan Pathfinder "same frame as the Frontier" has no rust at all on it where as my 2006 Toyota 4Runner after five years was so rusted underneath that I decided to trade it in early. Toyota truck frames have real issues with rust!
