I am on my 3rd NV....2-2500's and my newest 2020 NV3500SL...I had a 2012....2016 and now the 2020....the 2020 is the best quality build so far...the 2016 was the worst...body fit and finish was not good.....with that said all of the vans have ran great up to the 90,000 miles trade in. The company I work with has gone through somewhere around 70 of these vans in the last 8-years in 3-states....one transmission at 130,000 miles in all those vans.....maybe half had to have tires before the 90,000 miles....I never had to put tires on either of my prior vans...regular rotation and pressure and they still passed inspections at 90,000 miles. I love my 2020 3500.....the V8 and better transmission makes the vehicle sooo much nicer than the 2500 V6's for only a loss of 1-1/2 miles per gallon of fuel. I have seen 4 or 5 take a some hard hits....one head on by another driver running a red light....a couple rear ended.....and one of ours rear ended our own...they hold up real well. I would sure rather be in the Nissan over a Ford or Dodge style van....(and I am a Ford guy). Happy motoring!

I have a 2500 low-roof with the V6. The computer is not good to go by, even when resetting at each fill up. Calcs of miles divided by gallons is the best. Mine is new, 1000 miles, 40/60 highway and city, gross weight with tools and equipment is 7900 lbs as it stands daily....I am seeing 16 mpg right now. I am hoping it improves with more miles...can't really go by readings at a 1000 miles. I am curious what the high roof does to mileage and handling with the V6....we are looking to replace Ford E-250's and E-350's as they die off.....NV is the only good replacement, prior to Ford moving to the European Van after next year, to replace the E-series service vans. We have had Chevy's they just don't hold up.....Sprinters don't have a good reputation around here and are more $$. Eager to see how others experiences with the NV are coming along.
