So sad the end is so near ?

Looks so mean! Awesome, good work!

It works amazing as a large family hauler and tow vehicle. Three NVP’s in our tiny town. I think it’s a van that’s much better for family use than a Suburban-type for many reason, plus you save a bunch of $$$ to boot if buying new especially. Buy one quick and I think you’ll be very pleased for years to come!

Our neighbors just bought a beautiful new NVP 3500. I’ll ask them if the dealership (Fox Nissan, Grand Rapids, MI) said anything about future warranty work or service....

Nice!

Just keep driving and don’t worry about it!

We are on our second NV windshield. Our CRV, which is 2 years newer, is on its third windshield in 3 years. I blame it on bad roads and just dumb luck. ?

Unless you find a real lemon, I’d have to agree that you’d be happiest with the NV, from a dependability standpoint. They’re really solid, issues seem to be few and far between, and when they do arise the NV is usually easier to repair than the unibody euro vans.

Good question Rad. I’m not sure Nissan has moved enough vans to keep a site like this alive and active. I’ve really enjoyed the last 6 years, but the low number of members and infrequent issues makes for some long boring weeks lol.

I always loved the way the NV drives more like a pickup, as opposed to the new euro style vans or the older GM and E-series vans which shove the front seats right up to the motor and push the steer tires back. The NV just always seemed to track straighter and turn nicer, while allowing lots more room for the front seats.

We have a concession business, use the NV a lot for our smaller trailer. Weighs around 5500 pounds, and our V8 NV does awesome. I’d get the V8 if you’ll be pulling regularly for sure.

Same here. There may possibly be more profit in the Passenger morsels, but I sure see a lot more cargo versions being used commercially. I’d have to think if they continue makin the NV they keep both alive. If they stop one, they both get discontinued. ?

I have a 2014 V8 and have always been very happy with its performance unloaded, loaded, or towing our trailers. If I needed a new van today I wouldn’t fear the newer 5.6 or 7 speed one bit. I truly feel like Internet forums turn most issues into a much, much larger issue than they really are. These are extremely reliable vans all the way around. Find a new one or a used one that was cared for and chances are that you’ll be very happy!

Nothing wrong with the 5.6 pre-2017. Don’t think twice about it. It’ll do everything you ask of it and be extremely dependable. Enjoy!

Congrats!
