Anyone tow with a Nissan NV 3500 van?

I had never considered the Nissan NV 3500 until now. A quick search in my area has about 20 available...May have to go luck just because I can.

I hope you get to look at one and let us know what you think. I have yet to see one. They're off the lot faster than me in one of their 370z's :)

I do wish Nissan would publish all the detail chassis data so we could find out just what the weak points are... i.e. is the RAWR tire limited? Or are they using something smaller than a D60? And what's included in the "tow package" besides the receiver, since there's a big change in numbers w/out the package, and I suspect most dealers aren't stocking wagons with the tow package (just like the other 3 vans).

Ditto. I'd like to know more about what's underneath. But from all the NV3500 vans in SL trim I've seen, they all have the tow package too. I guess since it's the "loaded" trim, they add the tow as well.

You obviously did not read the OP's post. Twice he mentioned that he was surprised that the Titan had a lower axle rating than the NV.

My apologies. I did see that a few pages in. I don't know why anyone would be surprised at the Titan having a lower rating than the NV3500, the F150 has a lower rating than an E350.

I should have clarified my "surprise" ... I was just expecting a badge game - not exactly taking a Titan and putting a van body on it, but something like that. It was nice to see a "real" axle rating but like others have said it would be best to know what axle really is under there. I hope someone can get a look at one in person and find out. I can't even get to that step, they keep selling before I get to the lot! :)
