NoEffinMini4Me Posted November 22, 2013 I have had several Nissan Vehicles in the past, so I am looking forward to the new one on the way. I should take delivery of a 2013 NVP 3500 with Nav and towing package in glacial white.Bye Bye town and country. And I will probably get rid of my Chevy 1500 cargo too.Insurance is cheaper on the brand new nissan by about $485 a year compared to a 2005 chevy. Go figure. I can't wait to see how this does with my trailer.First upgrade is a real horn. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KMGLTZ Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) good choice to go with the 3500... the 5.6 and the 3.54 rear end make it decent to drive, for a van. should tow great too, mine does. high or low top? Edited November 22, 2013 by KMGLTZ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Decades Posted November 23, 2013 Congrats!Train horn? Grover stutter horn? Carson makes an electric one, I don't know if it will sound as good in person. The law here says that the volume of the horn must be appropriate to the size of the vehicle.When I go from driving my NV to driving my wife's minivan, I inadvertently chirp the tires (on the minivan) until I get used to it. That NEVER happened before I got the NV. Go easy on your Z! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoEffinMini4Me Posted November 23, 2013 The NV is the parking garage for the Z. :) I have the low top. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MasocIBqaE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoEffinMini4Me Posted December 30, 2013 It's a dirty white beast in this Michigan winter. My Average MPG was just around 16 going from Mi to Wi and back through Chicago. not sure what the city millage is like. I am always putting gas in it when the price drops.

NoEffinMini4Me Posted December 29, 2016 Alright. My wife and I are going to get new vehicles this year. I am interested in another NV3500, but what else is out there to compare it to?Not sure what the wife is going to get yet. We are on our third minivan because of the kids.just turned 50K last week. It has been enjoyable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mk1_62 Posted December 29, 2016 Nothing...There are no other vans like the NV. Towing was the main reason we went with the NV, that and rear air. It's a beast, a big square, sexy beast. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
