The Nissan NV is not commonplace on the forum, with only a handful of adventure-equipped offerings featured, including this 2012, 2013, and 2020. It’s surprising that this vehicle is often overlooked for overlanding, as it’s underpinned by the heavy-duty F-Alpha chassis (albeit modified) utilized by the full-size Nissan Titan pickup and shares the same powerful/long long-lived 5.6-liter V8 motor. Further still, it enjoys access to impressive aftermarket support and on-demand 4WD conversions, which transform it from a practical heavy-duty van into a legitimate backcountry adventure rig (as demonstrated by builds from TFL Offroad, Rogue Overland, and Test Driven TV). Cue today’s one-owner low-mileage 2021 Nissan NV 2500 4×4 (37,000 miles), which boasts a plethora of upgrades and a basic yet functional camper interior.
From the Seller:
“This van looks great from the outside and is set up to conquer serious terrain. It comes with all the really expensive stuff for a van conversion. This would be a great choice for a mountain biker/rock climber/skier/etc. The van could be shipped, or if you want to fly in and pick it up, we can probably work that out too. The 4WD conversion was completed by Tim Dahle Nissan in Salt Lake City.”
