Apart from being offered in cargo van spec, the NV 3500HD can be ordered as a standard-roof passenger van providing room for up to 12 passengers. New for 2014 All vehicles equipped with a V-8 engine now have an automatic transmission with Tow Mode, ClassIV receiver hitch, seven-pin connector pre-wiring, brake controller pre-wiring and heavy-duty battery as standard features.
