The deliveryman from Chicago has driven his 2007 Frontier about 13 hours a day since he bought it.


Now this is a customer loyalty program.

Nissan has traded a brand-new Frontier pickup for one with over a million miles on it, and they were all driven by one owner.

Brian Murphy is an independent delivery man from Chicago who’s been driving his 2007 Frontier about 13 hours a day since he bought it.


Nissan brought his truck to the Chicago Auto Show in February to help launch the updated 2020 model and announce an all-new Frontier coming in 2021.

Murphy drove his Frontier over 800,000 miles before changing the clutch, something he won’t need to do with the new one, which is only available with a 9-speed automatic transmission and 3.8-liter V6.

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.

sure haven't changed much in looks in 13 years. Other then the wheels they look like the same truck.

  In some cases, stability is a good thing !  If it isn't broke, don't "fix it" !


   Doesn't look like it is broke either, when you consider it has run 1,000,000 tough, stop & go city miles, in winter time salt..and no over-the-road cruising.
 
  Back in the 50s-60s and 70s, Volvo used to hand out gold watches to Volvo owners who, proven by dealer records, drove their car a million miles.  They decided they were handing out too many gold watches, so halted the practice.


  They didn't mention if they were concerned with delayed trade-ins.
