I get asked quite often about the payload capacities for the Nissan Commercial Van Lineup and how that relates to everyday usage. Here's a review of the Nissan NV Cargo Van Payloads and some helpful hints to assist you in picking the NV that best suits your needs. Something that needs to be mentioned when calculating payload is that you need to consider EVERYTHING going in to the back of the van plus fuel, driver and passenger body weight, weight of shelving, partitions and other up-fits.
Nissan NV 1500 V6 Cargo Van - Low Roof
Payload Range = 2,535 -2,590 pounds
Nissan NV 2500 V6 Cargo Van - Low Roof
Payload Range = 3,031 - 3,141 pounds
Nissan NV 2500 V8 Cargo Van - Low Roof
Payload Range = 2,976 - 3,086 pounds
Nissan NV 3500 V8 Cargo Van - Low Roof
Payload Range = 3,747 - 3,925 pounds
Nissan NV 2500 V6 Cargo Van - High Roof
Payload Range = 2,866 - 2,921 pounds
Nissan NV 2500 V8 Cargo Van - High Roof
Payload Range = 2,755 - 2,866 pounds
Nissan NV 3500 V8 Cargo Van - High Roof
Payload Range = 3,582 - 3,637 pounds
Now, let's take a look at some weight ranges for common tools and materials to give you a better idea of what you carry and which van would work best for you!
4'X8' Sheet of 1/2" Plywood = 40-50 lbs.
1 Pallet of 530 Bricks = 2,400 - 2,600 lbs.
10 bags of Concrete = 500 lbs.
5 gallon bucket of Paint = 45-50 lbs.
Average Tool Bag = 30-40 lbs.
(100) 2x4's = 960-1,000 lbs.
By getting a good idea of how much cargo you use on a daily basis you can begin to figure out which Nissan Cargo Van would best suit your needs. Figure in 14 gallons of fuel at 8 lbs. per gallon, 200 lbs. per person in the vehicle, the weight of your van's shelving and there you go!
