For anyone stumbling on this thread in the future, I ordered part number 74902-1PB0B which a dealership told me was correct for upgrading the carpet in my "S" model which had vinyl flooring up front. The part I received was intended for vans with the console. I guess I incorrectly assumed there was a Nissan NV configuration with carpet up front, but no console, however maybe that was wrong. I now have a new carpet for the front cabin with six giant holes in it to mount the console. Ugh. Anyone selling a console? Haha!

I don't mind unscrewing and removing everything, but am just worried about running into an unknown surprise. Luckily, its just carpet so you can always push it under surfaces or cut and re-glue areas. The other thing I'm looking at is whether I can put it over the existing vinyl, or if I have to remove that in order to fit the carpet.

Hi All, I got a used NV for the family at a great price, but when when I picked it up from out-of-town, I realized it only had vinyl floors. This is great for the rear, but I'd like to put carpet up front. I found part number 74902-1PB0A for the "Carpet assembly - floor / front mat" but it doesn't specify color, so I assume it's grey. I also noticed there was a different part number for the SL van, which I assume would have cut-outs for the center console (which my van does not have). Anyhow, has anyone gone through replacing the vinyl in the front with carpet? Is it pretty straight forward (remove trim, remove seats, etc.?) Thanks!

I've been poking around the forum, looking at older threads on running boards and nerf bars, but I'm curious about updated info (I'm writing this post in March 2020). I want a long/long setup with an off-road look, so black boards or nerf bars that sit tight up to the body would be best (I don't have a lift yet). I found these boards by Vanguard that look nice, but there are no pics on an actual NV, and it says something about trimming of undercarriage required. Still, I think they would look nice. Anyone have them, or can recommend something else? I like the low-profile look of the Ken Garff conversions (see attached) but I can't find if this is a product, or something custom they add.

I had the same idea because I want something low profile, but figured it would be a custom-fab thing (basically find a set of truck boards the appropriate length, then have someone fabricate brackets to match up to the NV). I did just run across these boards which look nice and tight to the body, but there are no pictures of the boards on an actual NV: https://www.vanguardoffroad.com/cars/nissan/nv-2500/2012/2012-2018-nissan-nv2500-side-steps-aluminum-running-board-blk.html

Interesting. I'm seeing 375 horsepower on the 2017+, but only 317 hp on the pre-2017 models. I assumed that would be a big jump.

I know this is an old thread, but I'm searching the internet for info on how the 2017+ models tow, compared to the pre-2017 models with the smaller engine and 5-speed. Is it a big difference? I almost bought a used 2014, but then realized the upgraded drivetrain was released in 2017. I really am looking to not max-out my van while towing a 30' toy hauler (about 6-7k wet) and the six kids cross country. I'm currently using an old Excursion with a V10; if I really mash it, I can get up steep hills, but I'm usually lucky to be doing 25-30 mph with the engine screaming.
