10. Braking - The Nissan NV has the largest brake rotors in its class with 14.2" Front and 14.4" Rear Rotors. The larger the rotors, the better they dissapte heat and in turn - the better braking power you have.
9. Turning Radius - The NV has a 45.2' Turning Radius compared the Blue Oval Van which has a 48.6' turning radius. Ever try making a U-Turn at a stop light in a Ford Econoline? I rest my case!
8. Horsepower - The widely popular 4.0L Nissan V6 has 261 horsepower and 281 lb. ft. of torque. When compared the Ford Econoline's 4.6L V8 engine (yes, comparing a V6 to a V8) the Nissan has a 36 horsepower advantage and only 5 lb. ft less of torque.
7. Cargo Height - The Nissan and Ford share similar height profiles yet the Nissan manages to squeeze in an extra 3.9" of cargo height in the back. 3.9" may not sound like a lot until what you are loading does not fit! Also the NV's near vertical sidewalls decrease the "wasted space" behind cargo shelving.
6 .Cargo Width - At 54.3" the Nissan offers over 3" of additional space between the wheel wells over our competitor. Add in the fact our wheel wells are flat and that's a winning combination!
5. Standard Features - A side by side comparison shows that the Nissan NV Cargo Van has a wide variety of standard options that Ford requires you to pay for such as a CD Player, D-Ring Tie Downs, and a Sliding Cargo Door. There are also many features that the NV Cargo Van offers that Ford does not!
4. Center Console - Contractors need somewhere to store their stuff, charge their phones, keep their files and have a desk to write on. Nissan gets it. Our center console offers all this and much more!
3. Transmission - The NV's engine is paired with a 5 speed automatic transmission while the Ford is still rockin' a 4 speed automatic like they have for 20 years!
2. Incentive Package - At Nissan we don't tell our customers to figure out your up-fits on your own - we give them to you for free! With choices of cargo partitions, cargo shelves, roof racks, vehicle grahics and more - the Nissan NV will be ready to work in no time - all at no cost to the customer!
1. No Doghouse - This one is a biggie for me. Once upon a time I drove a moving van (Ford) across the country. With the engine literally at my feet it was cramped, noisy, hot and all around uncomfortable. The Nissan's engine is mounted out front like a truck - this means no doghouse, a more comfortable ride, more foot room, and easier vehicle maintenance.
