At 283k miles it's hard to ask for more. I'm hoping to get plenty of life from my X and driving under 10k miles a year will help. Based on my experience with Nissan and their vehicles, I shouldnt have an issue. Hopefully the truck doesn't get SMOD, it's a costly repair and I'm thinking about bypassing the cooler in the radiator to prevent it.
It's 2003 V8 4x4.
I bought it several years ago with like 46k miles. Never expected to keep it this long but now it's like a game to me to see how long it will go before I have to start replacing stuff.
Up to now I've only replaced brakes and wheel bearings.
