Out of all the cars I would not expect a Nissan to make it to 1 million. What’s the most you have gotten out of a car?

Nissan won’t be sending the old truck, which still has its original four-cylinder engine and runs and looks great, to the scrap heap. Instead, it’ll be put on display at the Smyrna Vehicle Assembly Plant in Smyrna, Tenn., where it was built.

What job does this guy have where he’s driving a Nissan Frontier around for 13 hours every day?

Is that the old and the new in the pic? If so, that bitch hasn’t changed at all in 14 years.

I think I have seen Toyota do the same thing. Very cool.

I had a 2008 Frontier pickup. It was a great truck. Circumstances basically forced me to trade it in a few years ago, and I hated to do it.

Great ride and no fancy bells and whistles that you are forced to get these days. Just a solid pickup.

Just over 310k on a 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport. Thing was a monster. It was still running (leaking oil like crazy, no a/c, electrical problems everywhere, but still running strong) when I sold it. Some guy offered me 2k for it but it was such a POS I gave it to him for 1k . I would've felt like a giant a-hole if I took 2k for that pile of junk.

My ‘93 Toyota pickup is still going strong at 330K miles. It’s a farm truck now.

A million miles seems nuts to me.

I drive around 5,000 miles a year...usually less.

My last truck is running around at 350k right now. Had a transmission replaced around 250k.

My current one had better get to 500k but its a dodge so I might be too hopeful here

13 hours a day in a car sounds awful. Bet that dudes legs are tree trunks from edema.

And it's hilarious that the truck seems to have literally not changed in this time span. Even minor cosmetic changes don't seem to be there. I honestly couldn't tell which one was the old one in the pic.

Props to this dude, and Nissan. My first car was a Sentra that I absolutely adored.
