Million mile Frontier

I find this impressive as Chicago weather is incredibly rough on vehicles. My 2005 Highlander is rusted out due to Chicago weather. Sounds like he got his money worth!

The exterior looks remarkable.

He puts between 300-400 miles every day therefore he is changing it every month or less.

It's a stick shift. No auto trans would last.

800k miles on the original clutch. That man knows how to shift right !

The one in our shop truck lasted 369K with tons of drivers! Everyone from us to customers drove it.

Why do they make the odometer stop at 999999?

with the exception of the earlier automatic-oil cooler issue frontiers are pretty solid. still no problematic DI + my 2011 is a stick with the proven 4.0 V-6, good power + decent mpg's whats not to like. they are a best buy being thousands less than others! the fronty is more midsized not like the cramped overpriced Toco's, can't believe people pay what they ask!!!

I like to drive, but 12-14 hours and 300-400 miles per day just doesn't appeal to me. Good on him if he enjoys what he's doing.

And yet my 09 with a 2.5 burns around a quart of oil every 1k with impeccable service. My 03 which should have used oil used none when it was totaled at 176k. I actually thought that car would have run a million miles. I replaced nothing outside of brakes and tires.

That's just asking for engine issues. Oh, wait....

Honestly if you hit a million miles in a certain vehicle, the company should give you 75% off your next one or something like that. Sure they'd lose money but think of the positive publicity and recognition from the public.

Most give a free one.

Better man than me. i could only tolerate my Frontier for 145K. All I did was oil changes, put in better shocks and never in the shop.

I'm thinking about a Frontier for my next car purchase. Probably one from the current generation, unless a newer one really knocks my socks off. Even though it's been roughly the same since about 2004, there's just something about them that I like. Having a reliable drivetrain doesn't hurt, either.

Another EXCELLENT Nissan engine!

Very true, Nissan still has a pretty strong engine in most cars, it's their crap CVT's and poor QC issues since Renault took over.

No one else could ride comfortably in those well form fitted seats.

Adding an extra digit space to that display that never gets used costs money
