Van vs Pickup

[frater secessus]

since Nissan NV and PM considered commercial vehicles - is the registration and other fees higher than regular van ?

10,000lb GVWR is where many states start registering as a commercial vehicle.  I think the heaviest version of each of those vans is below that.

Hi Art.

I'm registered in South Dakota and I just registered my new 2016 promaster 3500 there. I couldn't believe it...

The registration ended up being labeled a car. The price? $96. And when my plates arrived, there was a letter enclosed saying I had been overcharged and would be receiving a $18 credit.

I use these people here for my address stuff. They'll scan the front cover of all my mail, then I can request them to open and scan the contents, or recycle it, or shred it, or forward it anywhere. They have their own app that makes it all simple. And they'll register your vehicle for you without you having to show up for $35. They just did mine. http://www.americas-mailbox.com/

Thanks a lot, that's great news. I ill not be ready until the spring but doing my homework now. I looked up this site and I do not see any info about registration (although I see an insurance) (?)

"I had no idea you could get a truck spec'd out like that for such a low price. "

The trick is to order from the factory and get what is you want without paying for all the extra fluff. Everything on the dealer lots around me were priced between $60 and $80,000. You don't get instant gratification and have to wait 6 - 8 weeks for them to build it but well worth it in my opinion. I should mention my price included $3,000 of dealer rebates/incentives.

I ordered my truck 8/9/17 and took delivery last Friday night (9/22/17). The delivered product is even better than expected.

Next up ... camper!
