Hello from Utah

Recommended Posts

After a fender bender that took out our 8-passenger Toyota Sienna we upgraded to the NV. The first week of May we drove off the lot with our 2017 NV S, we went with the V8 and an aftermarket back-up camera.

 

Since then we've put quite a few miles on the brown beast. She's been our beach buggy on a trip to Mexico, hauled a pop-up trailer up to 9,600 feet in the Uintahs (suprisingly got 14.6 mpg on that trip) and hauled our 6 kids all over northern Utah.

 

Our average fuel economy since day one (now at about 6,600 miles) with the V8 and 7-speed has been 14.7 mpg (see link below).

Next month we're renting a 24 foot travel trailer to drive to the middle of Wyoming and watch the eclipse, I'm interested in seeing the fuel economy on that trip.

 

Glad to meet everyone and be part of the forums.

Here are some pics that go with the first post. Plus a bonus pic, she fits in a standard parallel parking stall (I had people stop and watch me do that one).

Welcome to the site! Impressed you got it in the garage too. Nice photos you have with impressive MPG reports. Happy to hear the new V8 and seven speed are working well.
