How many miles are your vans going before needing front or rear brakes? I've only had a few brake replacements to date on a fleet of 21 NV200s: 49k miles - rear brakes 55k miles - front Brakes 72k miles - front and rear brakes The older vans in the fleet are just getting to 50k-60k miles. I'm trying to be proactive and replace the brakes before they have to be done. This way I can plan with our dispatch team and work around our techs' days off.

The dealer checked the alignment. The front needed realigning and the rear axle (not adjustable) was within spec. I'll continue monitoring tire wear to see what happens.

Hi, Has anyone had the rear tires on an NV200 wearing unevenly? One of the vans in our fleet is wearing the rear tires on the inside (2016 model year). We check tire pressure regularly and all our vans are loaded the same. We haven't seen the problem on any other van. I found a post related to uneven rear tire wear in a different forum. The OP stated that Nissan was aware of the issue and replaced the rear axle on his van with a different p/n. I'm about to schedule it for a dealer visit, but wanted to know if this is a common issue with earlier NV200s.

I just looked at February data for the 20+ gasoline powered NV200s that I manage: Conditions: vans loaded close to the GVWR, city and freeway combined driving, many stops, ambient temperatures the mid 30s to 40s, light snow for 2-3 days, 130 fuel transactions. Fuel economy: 22.82 mpg

Here are the numbers from last December for the fleet of 20+ NV200s that I manage. Conditions: vans are loaded close to the GVWR, city and freeway combined driving, lot's of stops, ambient temperatures the 40s, no snow. NV200 gasoline powered: 22.42 mpg (based on 20+ vehicles and 110 fuel transactions)

I ordered something similar to this for one of our NV2500s. The shorter versions should work with an NV200. https://www.discountramps.com/wheelchair/suitcase-ramps/p/Trifold-8-AS/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9Lv82Lyx6AIVCf_jBx2ZTgEZEAQYAyABEgI9c_D_BwE

We got four more last week: 3-NV200s and 1-NV2500 high top. The exterior wrap will be done in another day, and they'll be outfitted with racks and shelving in a few more days.

The Nissan tech rep had the dealer order every replaceable part inside the door. it was all replaced and the door is now working well.

I'm just in the process of ordering a few more NV200s, so I'll have some 2020 vans soon. That means that I'll have a 7 years spread of model years in the fleet: 2013 to 2020.

We have an issue with the sliding door on one NV2500. The door will not open from inside or outside and the issue is intermittent. It's been back to the dealer a few times and multiple items have been replaced. The Nissan factory rep is going to look at it next week at the dealer.

I have the complete fleet I manage on a 5,000/6 month interval. That meets all our current manufacturer recommendations. In actuality it works out to a bit less than that because I schedule the vehicles as they get close to the limit. We've never had a lubrication related failure and I've sold a number of older vehicles that are running well at 180-200k miles.

As a fleet operator I would like to see a couple of new Nissan commercial models: 1- Stretched NV200 - This would be 12-18 inches longer with a corresponding wheelbase and payload weight increase. 2- Cutaway cab NV3500 - This needs to have an available GVWR just under 10,000 Lb, be available with single rear wheels, be able to have a 12' long box installed, and have better payload capacity than an equivalent Ford E350 cutaway. The reason for the under 10K weight is the ability to use the carpool and pay as you go lanes in my region. These lanes are restricted to 10,000 GVWR or less. A vehicle with dual rear tires on these lanes attracts the state patrol, because they assume that any vehicle with dual rear tires weighs more than 10k. This is why we prefer single rear wheels on our box trucks (currently Ford E-350s).

I have all preventative maintenance and out of warranty repairs on the fleet I manage done at a local, independent shop. They are knowledgeable, awesome to work with, and treat private customers as well as fleet customer with many vehicles. I use the local dealer that I purchase Nissan vehicles from for warranty work and recalls. I will have them service a vehicle if it happens to come due at the same time the warranty work is being done. Having said that, the dealer's Service Manager rarely sees me because the NVs are so reliable. On the other hand, the Fleet Sales Manager sees me a lot, because I continue buying Nissans for the fleet that I manage: NV200s, NV2500s, Versas, Frontier.

The reliability of our fleet of 20+ NV 200s has been phenomenal. We've replaced a number of tires and done a very small number of brakes. Keep in mind that these vehicles run fully loaded and are not babied by the drivers.

We run two high roof, V-6 NV2500s in my company. They are always loaded very close to their max GVWR, and run a combination of city and freeway. With ambient temperatures in the 40s we got 13.79 mpg last month. This is based on 2 vehicles and 18 fuel transactions.
