BiggerWrench Posted August 4, 2018 Hello. Were a homeschooling family with five boys so hopefully this van will last a while. We recently had our fifth child so it was time to upgrade our old tired Excursion diesel. The big 3 offerings all look like spaceships and I read about too many issues and comfort level being lackluster. I liked the NV but could never find a good used passenger in my area but I kept a look out and found a low mile one in Texas. A short plane trip and a long ride home two weeks ago and now my wife and I fight over who’s driving :) I’m a diesel mechanic by trade and the openness under hood caught my attention vs the flat-front underdash setup most big vans get. Glad I found this forum... hope I can contribute a bit 3 Mark Rogers, radin2son and ASD Dad reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mk1_62 Posted August 5, 2018 I love the long front ends for inside comfort too, my old Chevy van had the engine right next to my leg. I don't miss that. 2 radin2son and Mark Rogers reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
