Mc2guy Posted September 27, 2014 Pulled the trigger on new Passenger SL in Graphite Blue today. Been lurking for a year... Waiting to see if the new Transit could compete for my $. In the end, the Nissan just had more to offer and my wife liked it more. Throw in 100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty, and it wasn't that hard of a decision. Looking forward to cross country trips with my wife and three boys in comfort! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DennisV Posted September 27, 2014 Good for you, Mc2. I drove both the 6 and 4 cyl sprinters, and 3 different PMs,and read every piece of promo material I could get on the Transit and then I drove the NV. And that was that. Very pleased with it so far.

andy_george Posted September 27, 2014 I was doing the exact same thing..... Waiting to compare the NV to the transit. Ultimately it was the low tow ratings of the Transit that made us jump into the NV. Two weeks in, no regrets so far! This site isn't the most followed, but with the popularity of the NV's picking up some, I can see the need for an NV rally somewhere in a beautiful part of the country in the future. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mc2guy Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) I actually drove the transit and wanted to like it, but with all the production delays, the low tow rating and the non adjustable rear seating were deal killers. Also waiting six to 8 months after ordering due to production delays...I'll admit that I am a bit scared to see what my gas mileage will look like, but other then that these things seem to be pretty bullet proof, and I need that for our long distance travels. Very comfortable ride and my kids really love it, what more could an adventure dad ask for. Edited September 29, 2014 by Mc2guy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
radin2son Posted September 27, 2014 I now no longer have to speculate what van you would chose. You and your family will enjoy the "adventure" miles. As of today, we have had our's for 2 years and 36,013 miles, all "adventure" miles. Only problem: goodbye warranty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
axulsuv Posted September 28, 2014 And to add to all the above ... THE NV HAS A REAL FRAME !!!!!!! Hence the truckish ride ...:)Glenn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
