This is a lot for a small pickup truck.
One million miles. This is equivalent to traveling twice as far as the moon. It would take 40 laps to travel that distance if there were a road that circled the Equator. Imagine driving to the equator in a 2007 Nissan Frontier. Chicago’s Brian Murphy could have done it if such roads were available. Nissan wants to share this information with the world.
Mr. Murphy is an independent driver who delivers in Chicago. He started his delivery career 45 years ago. It’s now his “part-time job” which typically starts before sunrise and ends 13 hrs later. It’s his “part-time” job. Frontier Since 2007 when he bought it new, has been his vehicle of choice. It’s a two-wheel drive King Cab with a four-cylinder Nissan engine and a five speed manual transmission. Murphy drove a total of one million miles. He also swapped gears. By hand To get there.
Although the Frontier’s digital speedometer stopped counting at 999.999, this milestone was reached recently on January 27. However, the trip odometer logs miles and the truck continues to chugging along. Both the transmission and engine are original. However, the timing chain was changed at 700,000. miles to prevent any further damage.
The alternator and radiator lasted for 450,000 miles. If you are curious about how many clutches the Frontier had, it is one. At 801,000 miles, the original clutch was finally replaced. Murphy will change the oil every 10,000 miles and have his local dealer handle larger maintenance issues. What happens now?
Murphy stated, “My truck needs to rest, but it’s my job to keep busy.”
According to reports, this means that there is still a red 2007 Frontier driving around the Windy City with lots of miles.
