nissan nv

Saw this at SEMA, looks like a good base vehicle. It should have a titan chassis and drivetrain? Should be cheap after companies beat them and then it would be possible to upgrade to 4WD and add a lift etc. Just an idea of an affordable sportsmobile type vehicle or the ExPo vehicle of the year.

I believe the chassis is actually unique to the NV. But they definitely do use the 4.0 V6 and 5.6 V8. I don't see why they couldn't be modified to 4wd. Maybe if the demand becomes high enough Nissan will start producing a 4wd model.

Sales of the new NV vans has been slow, improving the chance that you can find a dealer willing to cut the price.

The NV frame is different than the Titan pickup. It's heavy duty, leading to speculation that Nissan will use the frame for a new Titan HD model.

Passed one on the Beltway yesterday on the way home.
Signs on the side advertising the Quigley 4x4 conversion for it.

Here's what Quigley has to say about its 4x4 conversion for the Nissan NV

No pricing has been announced. Delivery is supposed to start this Fall.

Sportsmobile has a camper conversion for the NV. It's limited to two floorplans. The camper has to be ordered through a Nissan dealer.

The one I saw looked very similar to the one in the first link at Rausch Creek.
