Hey- I bought a new Nissan Frontier 4x4 in 2007. The only wrench it has ever seen is to remove 

the oil drain plug & a couple of batteries. Had all hoses, belts & fluids changed at the 10 year anniversary.

I bought a new '07 as well, but 2wd. Long bed crew cab, 6spd manual. At 105K, it needed a new clutch & around 110K it needed a right front hub & driver's door power window relay died & took the switch block with it. Otherwise, just normal maintenance until the US 54 overpass at US50 froze two years ago & I bounced it violently between both barriers for about a quarter mile. Think it had 130K on it when I killed it. Solid truck & ran like new till the day it I wadded it up.

Danged shame you can't hardly get a manual transmission in anything these days. Even disappearing in the smaller trucks & forget getting one in a half ton. I can figure out what gear I need without any computerized nanny & prefer to row my own.
