Yes, but parts are harder to find and they are more expensive then the NV4500.

It really depends on what you're going to be doing. If you plan on doing a lot of towing and have the money go with the NV5600. If not, then go with the NV4500.

I like the 7.3 just fine but is no way more reliable than a 12v.

Completely agree.

Depends on what you want. The 12v is going to be much more simple to swap in (no electronics) and will also be easier and cheaper to get lots of power out of. A 7.3 would still be cool though :tu:

yeah it would go right on the 6bt, no more work involved than putting a 4500 on it. it is more spendy, so its up to your budget on that one
