Anthony - what engine and roof type does your NV have?

This will be my first Nissan vehicle and I'm selling a Toyota to make this change - a vehicle that has been problem free except for a recall for the gas pedal..

This is what will be done - of course it cost quite a bit more than the factory installed towing package [$460 from factory] . Also, I will not be getting the special tow mirrors and the tow haul mode tranny. Anyway, I ordered yesterday and will wait anxiously till the stork arrives - probably early November.

I guess it is for real - can't get the v6 with tow package eventhough the v6 is rated to tow 7000 pounds!! Very dissappointed! Guess I'll have to "cool my jets" on the NV. Nissan is too intractable! Haven't seen a single one on the road and it will likely continue that way!

Where did you get your NV? Which engine? Any mpg info yet? Thanks

Any luck on the wiring harness? I'm still in the pre-ordering phase and would love to get the towing package on a 2500 SV, V6 but according to dealer, can't get it from factory. I want the v6 for better mpgs and in driving it versus the v8, the v6 had good power and acceleration. I would be towing a small rv occasionally which weighs less than 3000 pounds. I will need a 7 wire plug and brake controller also. It appears that etrailer has a hitch receiver for $150 that is designed for the NV. Jay

I am looking hard at a NV 2500 SV with all options. Have yu made any mods to your 1500 yet. Did your dealer give any discount off MSRP? I'm not in a rush so will likely order a NV to get it with what I want and then I can take it from there. Where did you put the genny???? Thanks, Jay

I just saw the NV last Sunday. Had not seen one on the road in my area of NC or on my travels. I have test driven both a V8 and V6 and want to get a V6, 2500 SV with all available options. I am dissappointed that the tow package is not being offered as a factory intall on the V6 although it supposedly has a tow rating of 7000 pounds with the tow package and only 2000 pounds without it????? If any factory reps or people in the know are reading this - What Gives???? You advertise a 7000 pound tow rating and then do not equip the vehicle to meet the requirements for that rating????? I have never owned a Nissan but am interested in the NV - but I am used to getting a cut off of MSRP and the couple of dealers that I have talked with so far seem to be holding hard to the MSRP, one even added to the MSRP - no wonder Toyota is the much larger company! I have had mostly Toyotas but a few Fords and Chevys too and have ALWAYS gotten a reduction off MSRP [window sticker]. I don't accept a dealer's statement that the factory cannot equip a V6 with the tow package - seems with only 15 or so vehicles being built per day an exception could be made????? Thanks for any responses - responses may be made to my email address if you prefer! Thanks, Jay
