optic462 Posted July 24, 2017 Hello members. I am happy to have found this forum. I am hoping to learn anything I can about my new purchase last week; Nissan NV 3500 SL (Passenger Van). This vehicle will be replacing my 2015 Ford Transit 150 (8-seater). While I did LOVE LOVE LOVE my Transit; I primarily made the change for the towing abilities of the V-8. We are going to be upgrading to a larger travel trailer later this year, and we will need the extra power....the leather seats are nice too, I won't lie. Right now you're probably wondering, wow...a Transit and a Nissan NV. Like many of you, I have what is now considered a large family. I am the father of 4 lovely children.

ASD Dad Posted July 24, 2017 Welcome to the site! The NV has no comparison to any other vehicle in it's class for towing, it is nearly double the next competitor. That is why we bought it, I tow the camper in my sig line all over the South and East coast including the mountains of NC and TN. You have even more power and the new 7 speed transmission so it should be a nicer towing experience. Congrats on the new NVP. 1 optic462 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
radin2son Posted July 24, 2017 Welcome. It is all about how you plan to or use a vehicle. Most of us feel our NVs are trucks. You will be very happy... Navigating this forum can be a challenge when new. Great info under towing etc. 1 optic462 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andy_george Posted July 26, 2017 Beautiful van! Congrats and welcome! It sounds like you're here for the same reason most of us are.... The need for a big van that can be asked to work and tow hard for a long, long time. You'll like it...! 2 optic462 and radin2son reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
