Nashville, Tenn. – Nissan has put the NV Cargo Van through over 7,000 quality and durability tests to ensure it’s ready for the toughest of tasks. We’ve even gone as far as letting Bret Michaels smash a guitar on the hood in “Tough Love,” and let Mickey Rourke and Carl Weathers torture test it in the desert in “The Delivery” – so when the opportunity came to showcase our commercial van strength in another extreme situation, we were clearly up for the challenge. Call it test number 7,001, or just pure torture, but we put Formula Drift icon, Chris Forsberg, in an NV Cargo on a brutal obstacle course to prove out our van’s durability. As entertaining as the social video content is, it comes with quite a few warnings. Among them, a warning that modifications made to the van and dramatized testing stunts would completely void America’s Best Commercial Van Warranty.
This stunt was performed by a professional driver on a closed course. Do not attempt. Driving is a serious business and requires your full attention. Obey all traffic laws. Always drive safely and secure all cargo. Wear your seat belt. And please don’t drink and drive.
