    Nissan NV HD S HighTop V6 fuel mileage

    Hi wvcourier, Finally, I have a moment or two. So far, empty rolling down the highway is a consistent 16-18 mpg. Loaded it averages 15-17. It is not as good as I had hoped it would be. I have had some 500-800 mile runs through different environments and winds, etc. It is what it is...

    Nissan NV HD S HighTop V6 fuel mileage

    Hi LDB, I removed the rubber mat. You have to unbolt the back of the seats (and the center console, if you have one, I removed my console completely), then pop up the little screw type caps that plug into the floor. I used a screw driver for the caps, but you can literally use your hands and...

    IFTA tax ?

    Hello TD, Everything I have found on the subject points to the magic 26000 lbs. It also includes combination weight. If you are 1 pound over this even in combination, it is required that you register with IFTA. There are other things that chime into this qualification as well...

    Nissan NV HD S HighTop V6 fuel mileage

    Here are a couple of pics and some explanation: With this setup - 108"L x 68.5"T x 52"W - I have chosen 2200Lbs max, although legally I can go up to 2700-2800Lbs, according to the GVWR Math (I will scale it just to make sure). It also has a little more room for odd shape cargo as far as...

    Nissan Van Operators???

    It depends on how you outfit the van... I am aiming at 2200 lbs. My first trip across the scales put me at GVW 6620. Full fuel, clothes, etc. The GVWR is 9100 on the 2500. 9100 - 6620 = 2480 max legal cargo weight. If I needed to throw out a couple of things, I could get that closer to 2600...

    Nissan NV HD S HighTop V6 fuel mileage

    Hello All, I just purchased a Nissan NV Hightop with a v6. The drive home was in extreme high wind gusts, and I must say that the NV handled very well. Fuel mileage according to the indashometer, ran no lower than 17.6 and topped out at 21.3 (Good tailwind). I expect that the NV will...

    Nissan Van Operators???

    I just purchased a 2500 Hightop HD S with a V6. It was extremely windy today, and it handled well. The Nissan has a selection on the gear lever that allows you to place it in a manual shift mode where you control the shifting using the +/- switch. But not a manual shift using a clutch. If...

    LLC and personal income

    I'm not 100 percent positive, Ask your tax man if you need to file your taxes as an s corp. You still keep your limited liability corporation status but file as an s corp and then pay yourself as an employee (w2). Talk to your cpa to see what he says about that approach. Sent from my...
