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). http://www.fuelly.com/car/nissan/nv3500/2017/rocketscienc3/617829 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.
