By the same token. The Nissan is basically a Titan pickup that has been here for many years. Look on YouTube for the Sportsmobile poptop camper based on the NV. Very nice.
The Titan pickup was designed from scratch and built in America exclusively for the American market just a decade ago. I had one. It was a good pickup and even pickup of the year once. But the Nissan van is a make do adoptive hybrid and not much of a true van either by classical American standards (Econoline) or Euro standards (Transit.)
As far as rear wheel drive train goes I think I would give the nod to Ford for experience. As to technical, I don't have enough knowledge to judge that.
For Class B conversion ability I would have to give the nod to the Ford Transit as a pro and the Nissan as a con. From what I have seen from Sportsmobile and Roadtrek it doesn't make for much of a good Class B as the useable van body is just too short for the over all length. If you liked the size of the T1N Sprinter I think you'll like the potential of the Transit better.
