Millionth pickup truck returned to the factory

The story of American Brian Murphy went public in February. This person works for a supply company, and since 2007, he spends 13 hours a day driving his Nissan Frontier pickup (the American equivalent of the previous generation Nissan Navara).

During this period, the car traveled over a million miles (1,6 million kilometers) on US roads and rarely got into service for major repairs. Murphy reveals that at 450 miles (nearly 000 km) he changed the radiator, and at 725 miles he changed the timing belt, not because it was worn out, but for his own peace of mind.

The clutch of the pickup with the 5-speed manual transmission was replaced after reaching the 800 mile mark.
Nissan decided that a hard-working and reliable car should become the property of the company, and now this Frontier is returning home to the plant in Smyrna, Texas, where it is assembled. The pickup will be shown to new employees so they know what product quality they need to achieve.

Its current owner is getting a brand new Nissan Frontier that is almost exactly the same, but with a new engine, a 3,8-liter V6 with over 300 hp. Brian Murphy will also have to get used to the new transmission and drive system. Its veteran had rear-wheel drive and a manual transmission, while the new pickup has a 9-speed automatic and a two-axle transmission.
