Anyone tow with a Nissan NV 3500 van?

So in reality how many of the van manufactures truly build what "I" would call a 1 ton van....ie a DOT class 3 truck with a gvwr of 10001-13500? most of the vans being discussed here are DOT class 2, ie between 6001-10000 gvwr, or you can split this what I call 3/4 ton category into the LD and HD with under 8400 LDuty and over heavy duty.

Seems to me the NV3500 is a pretty decent van from a gvwr/engine standpoint. No it will not as of yet do what the E350 with a V10 will do, but if you look at this from a gvwr badging standpoint, it is in the mix of ALL the other manufactures of vans with similar engines and remainder of the drivetrain.

This may be true now, but I bet it may change once they start putting the V-8 Cummins in it. Heck even Freightliner has signed a deal with Cummins to use a slightly different version of the same V-8 in some MDT chassis.
