Nissan NV 3500 Passenger Van

We are seriously considering buying the 2015 NIssan NV 3500 12 Passenger Van to tow our TT. Does anyone own one or have first hand experience with them? I'd love to hear from you. I tend to keep my cars at least 15 yrs so it's a big decision for us. Thank you!
  • That was extremely helpful. Thank you.. The space to footprint ratio was a big turnoff. My van has a lot more inside room.
  • Pros:

    -Better payload than most SUVs (which you probably already know since you already have a van)
    -Good power for a V8
    -Excellent seating setup with lots of flexibility

    Cons:

    -Less payload than other vans, because those awesome seats weigh a ton!
    -Space to footprint ratio is poor. Its as long as an extended Ford or Chevy van, but only has the space of a regular body van
    -It's V8 is thirstier than the GM 6.0/6-speed combo. And way thirstier than the Ford Transit EcoBoost.
    -Only offered in the low roof version. The Ford Transit offers all roof heights in both cargo and passenger versions
