I don't have Pics of outside. Its Michigan and the outside is a mess right now. My last 2013 NV 2500 got totaled. I replaced it with 2018 NV 35cargo. I use to haul artwork..kayaks, bikes, sometime camp out of it. This interior makes for a much quieter, warmer ride. Hush mats and insulation under walls. They were able to reuse some of the interior from my totaled van to put in new van. I had them make the netting out of seatbelt material. It is removable( I don't like the cage feel of the metal bulkhead) it works for my purposes to keep me safe from things sliding forward. Note...this was tested in my last van, when I was rear ended at 65mph at stoplight. The bikes, etc in the back stayed in the back:)

Oh good...I will sleep better tonight. If it’s minimal, I will be fine with height. They are adding a rear view mirror and the backup camera is standard on SL.

Are there recommendations on cosmetic additions and the best place to purchase them. Fronting shield that is less than the Nissan offered from the dealer? Is there anyplace to get a trim piece(flare?) over the wheel... not the mud flaps. I’m also interested in pics from anyone who has added some pin striping or decorative designs to kick it up a notch.

I purchased the van through my LLC. I took the free maintenance service 5yrs/100,000 miles. ( instead of upfit, as I don’t need that) They said they will mail me a card and info I can use to get it serviced.

I get my van Friday. They are installing rear windows and side slider window. I did find the specs on the NV passenger SL which has the tow mirrors. 102.8” (not extended) My garage is 106” and the mirrors do also fold....though i will be fine...will just have to take it slow going in and out. The height is different

Thanks, I just put a deposit on a 3500 SL standard roof. The one thing that just occurred to me is the difference in the mirrors on 2500 versus the tow mirrors....width. My garage may not have the width as I think they are wider even when not extended???? The website has 99.5" for the 2500 mirror and vehicle width...but nothing listed with the tow mirrors. Thought I had thought of everything. Happy new year everyone!

i Ended up paying the salvage price to insurance company and taking a check for the rest. Then reselling it to someone for a little more, who could repair it / somewhat and live with a back side panel that had accordianed a little. He was happy. I will be,once I find a new one:) Was told there had been some lawsuit on a repair that had not been done a certain way, so now they are running scared to follow Nissans protocol for repairs. In this case cutting the entire roof off. I asked about taking it somewhere else....insurance company said no, they had already marked van as salvage title.

Thanks. The link went through today when I tried it....so I found the business service centers. Now I need to ask if I buy one out of state Is the free maintenance incentive transferable to another dealer, who is also s service center.

Thanks for the info Simon & B:)

I had 2 Chevy vans...( and drove both ford and chevy's in a prior job) then I bought an NV....night and day with the ride.....and hands down rides better with a full load. My NV recently was totaled and I had to rent a new Ford....it was the first snow...only an inch...and I was stuck on a flat road, spinning my tires. Now looking for a New 18 or 19 NV and would never even consider the Ford after that experience.

i was told yesterday, by my local dealer, that there were only 23 new 2019's released. But not what I wanted. And they can't order them yet. Can anyone talk to the differences, advantages, disadvantages between V6 and V8? I am not pulling a trailer...just occasional load of mulch...but I do load the van up with pottery/artwork that can be heavy. My 2500 V6 was plenty powerful enough for me and handles well in there snow. Any thoughts on if i would see, feel any big difference in drive from one to another? From reading other forums, it looks like I might get about 4MPG (on average) less. It seems like the NV2500 SL's I find are mostly V8's One other thing i noticed yesterday on Nissan website is and incentive from "Nissan Business Service Dealers" on new NV's for commercial use. $1000 uplift OR 5 yr or 100,000 mile free maintenance service (oil change tire rotations and 30 point inspections) My dealer didn't even know about this....When I brought it to their attention he said WOW. Is this new? Does anyone know a way to find out what dealers are Business Service Dealers? The link on Nissans website to find those dealers does not go anywhere when clicked. West Michigan in Particular. Thanks for all your input....Im getting antsy to get another NV, since its been 3 months without.

Can you give the source of the awning an ladder?

Im looking for some custom painting or pin striping pics on the sight. I have to replace my silver cargo van, more than likely...with a White one and I want to have a "little" bling, to make it look not so vanilla. any custom paint pics out there?

My 2013 NV 2500 Cargo HD standard roof got rear ended late Sept 2018. Waited 3 weeks for an appointment to repair it....and 4 weeks later, they told me it was totaled! back bumper, back door, rear side panel and rear panel all had to be replaced...and Nissan's protocol for fixing, is to cut the entire roof off to fix it. Totally bummed! only 42,000 miles. Now I am looking for a new van. Im looking for a silver 2500 standard roof with chrome, navigation, basically option I can get.....but I'm only finding white. Mine also had rear and side (sliding door0 windows...which it appears is hard to find. I don't see the 2019's coming out yet. Id like to get a good deal and would rather get a 2018, but I'd like to have all the options and something other than white. Any idea on when they come out? I've been without a van since early November.
