Thanks all, I made an appointment for tomorrow to have it looked at. I checked the tire pressure and it was 80 rear 56 front.

New NV owner here, actually purchased in early January and have about 1800 miles on the van. I've seen several posts on this forum praising the handling of the NV which makes me wonder if something is wrong with mine. The van feels awfully skittish at highway speeds requiring near constant correction. Not horrible but takes a lot more effort and concentration that I would expect. Also even slight wheel movements turn into an over correction. Now if you add in some wind things get very hairy. I've driven a few days with high winds (20 with gusts of 30+) and this thing was nearly impossible to keep in the lane. I probably would write it off as the drawbacks of driving a giant box but with the comments about how much better the handling is in the NV compared to other vans it makes me think it should be better. If this is not the way the van should handle what would be the culprit? I was thinking of asking the dealer to take a look at the alignment when I take it in for the first service but at the rate we are putting on miles that's going to be a couple more months. If I get some feedback stating it should handle better then maybe ill make a special trip just to have them look into this issue.

Thank you for your review. I am currently trying to decide between the 15 passenger transit and NVP. We have number 7 on the way so its time to make the jump to a bigger van. I have not had a chance to drive the NV yet, local dealer should be getting one in this week. I did however test drive a 15 passenger transit. I am actually leaning slightly toward the transit for 2 reasons. Those are space and fuel economy. If you were to take the last row of seats out of the transit you would still have a 11 passenger van with a ton of space for luggage. I assume the space you mentioned is in the seating rather than storage. The seating in the transit was a little snug, i am 6ft and could sit in every seat but there wasn't a lot of leg room. Not horrible but not great either. Can you share how the vans compare from a mpg perspective? I am also surprised on your comment about the ride. Without driving one i actually expect the NV to be a harsher ride than the ford. From pictures and feature content it does appear that the NV does have a much nicer interior. Any further comparison would be much appreciated!
