Thought I would post the response I got from Quigley back in October in regards to their conversions. “ I am being told we can work some NV builds into the schedule starting in March. All of our NV delays were from circumstances beyond our control. Now we are waiting on final testing, on the new adapter, for the single speed transfer case for V-8 models. We will be back up & running on Nissans in March, accepting new V-8 orders in Nov-Dec. “

I don’t need the 4x4 very much in this part of the world, but it sure is nice to have when you do need it. No custom tuning or anything like that. The original owner just did basic maintenance and oil changes. I have about 50,000km (30,000 miles) on it.

I checked with Quigley and they said there would be little to no impact on the fuel mileage outside the extra 360 lbs the 4x4 adds to the weight of the Van. Mark my vehicle is stock as well except for the 4x4. No lift on it and I am running standard size all seasons.

I’m new to the forum as we recently purchased a used 2014 V8 passenger van. I’m wondering what people are getting for MPG. I was expecting to take a bit of a hit on fuel economy on this beast but so far this van is an absolute pig. I’ve been tracking my mileage for about 1,200 miles on the van so far and am averaging between 9-10 MPG. I have the 4th row of seats removed, no cargo and have been driving either solo or with 2 toddlers. I would say I have been doing 50/50 city and highway driving, I don’t have a heavy foot and the terrain fairly mild. A full tank of gas gets me to 230 miles and then I am on fumes. I can’t imagine what my mileage will drop to once I load the whole family up and tow my 7,000lbs trailer. Does 9-10 MPG seem ridiculously poor? I do have the Quigley 4x4. I was expecting perhaps 15MPG for combined mileage. Thanks
