2018 Nissan NV Cargo 2500 S 3dr Van w/High Roof (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
I am an hvac/r contractor. This is my daily driver. I have vehicle filled to the max with all of tools and equipment. I've owned for 2 years and 25,000 trouble free miles. Gas mileage is 12-13 mpg, but i do haul a lot as well as have a 28ft extension ladder on top. The ride is surprisingly smooth and the seats are extremely comfortable. I'm 6'1" not including my work boots and I can … stand up straight and walk around in the back. A lot of the guys in my industry are asking me about how much I like my van. I love it. I keep hearing how much everybody dislikes the protester and transit. Nissan also offered incentives for commercial contractors that paid for the bulkhead and shelving I have in the back. I'm very pleased with my choice of the Nissan nv2500 V6. Best work van I've ever had.
Edmunds Summary Review of the 2018 Nissan NV Cargo 2500 S Van
Pros & Cons

Which NV Cargo does Edmunds recommend?
A number of available models, powerplants and options allow you to tailor the Nissan NV Cargo to your individual business needs. The base 1500 with the V6 engine is fine for light-duty work, but if you need to do heavy hauling and towing, the 2500 and 3500 models with the V8 engine are better choices. And if space allows, we recommend the high-roof versions for their added capacity and extra convenience.
Full Edmunds Review: 2018 Nissan NV Cargo Van
Driving
The Nissan NV Cargo is a big van, but it's still a nice-handling machine. The ride quality is decent, and the engine-forward design allows the driver and passenger to stretch their legs. The V6 engine provides adequate performance, but the burly V8 makes everything seem easier.
Comfort
Like most work vans, the NV Cargo isn't exactly luxurious, but it provides a reasonably pleasant environment for two. And a variety of comfort and convenience options allow it to be upgraded. The noise levels are surprisingly subdued, at least for a commercial vehicle, at freeway speeds.
Interior
Typical of work vans, the NV Cargo's interior is more utilitarian than opulent. It boasts a pair of comfortable and supportive front seats, and the gauges and controls are easy to use. But, as is common for the class, there's quite a bit of hard, rather cheap-looking plastic throughout the cabin.
Utility
The NV's cargo area has attachment points that make it easy to fit racks, shelves and other equipment. Its low step-in height simplifies loading. And when it comes to hauling stuff, there's up to 234 cubic feet of cargo space in the standard-roof model and 323 cubic feet in high-roof configuration.
Technology
Standard equipment for the NV Cargo includes a rearview camera, a 5-inch color display, Bluetooth, a USB port, and a two-speaker stereo with a CD player. And the available Navigation package adds a nav system, a 5.8-inch touchscreen, NissanConnect mobile apps, voice recognition and satellite radio.
