Seriously? The low roof, mid roof, high roof in long OR extended all have the same cargo weight capacity????
They all weigh differently empty for certain.
What cartoon did this come from???
Indeed, Nissan NV is a very comfortable working vehicle, well built, with an engine that I believe it lasts longer than the tiny ones from Ram or Ford Transit. But speaking about capacity, NV kinda sucks. You put two pallets and you're done, no more room for anything else. Also, should I mention about the fuel consumption difference between NV and Ram or FT?

True. 108" hurts our guy that has an NV.
I had the same question.

Have you considered the option of purchasing a used vehicle from one of the large rental fleets? Not one of the "yellow cube vans", but a 12 to 15 foot one? Get one with a higher box height and you should be ok. Request maintenance records--and ask when the last service was done.
i don't remember the website but there is one on the left coast I think it located in the LA area. Runs about $700 plus shipping.

OK, because my good friends @ Ziegler in Plainwell, Michigan have both Promasters AND Transits by the dozens, we compared the two head to head. Here are the results: the Ecoboost T350 Jumbo SRW weighed 5,352 lbs. which with a 9,500 GVW results in an empty carrying capacity of 4,148 lbs. The sticker is $42,730 reasonably optioned.
The 3500 Extended Promaster weighed 4,905 lbs. which the 9,350 GVW results in a 4,445 empty carrying capacity. The sticker is $39,980, again, reasonably optioned.
These are real vehicles and real facts.

That's what is on the door jam AND the shipping weight on the invoice to the dealer... maybe you want to call my saleman a liar too? He confirmed the numbers not even an hour ago.
Please go back and reread my post... I SAID EMPTY WEIGHT ON BOTH!!!
Pretty soon you will be wanting to weight all my drivers too... seriously!!!
Same old story.....I'm talking SCALE TICKET and you know it....I drove and had dealer scale Promasters at legal scales ...over a dozen different times including a 2014 & 2015 Diesels just a weekend ago in Raleigh , NC... I know what they weigh empty and what they weigh with me (195lbs.) inside...so like I said before quit bragging you can LEGALLY haul 4000 lbs. in your finished interior van with Driver & fuel plus personal items....I will drop it......if want to haul 4000 lbs or more thats fine....just QUIT coming on EO and telling newbies and oldies how your VANS seem to walk on water.....

You are over the top... HATER!
You didn't read this post at all. I never said a word about my vans... no bragging about my vans... or being finished... or walking on water... raw vans, as on the lot, at the dealer.
What anyone puts in them will not change this post whatsoever...
Nor how much anyone weighs.
Take a pill...
