A minivan has nowhere near the capacity of a Yukon or an F150, and is more comparable to a mid size SUV. I’ve not driven a truck but I have driven modern minivans. They have lots of conveniences but are very easy to fill up with gear even on a modest weekend trip. I am not sure if you have a family, but just consider the amount of cargo room used up simply by throwing in the equipment you need to care for a baby (like a stroller, pack and play, etc).
As for sitting an extra foot off the ground - that’s very useful in very common conditions like snow on the ground, or unpaved roads, or whatever else.
- ToucanLoucan 2y agoMy family has moved houses in a minivan. If you and the missus are exceeding the carrying capacity of a van moving the gear for and the infant, you are bringing WAY more shit than you need to be bringing. And, even if you are somehow doing that, then don't buy a minivan, buy a van. A full size van with a finished interior can hold an astonishing amount of stuff.
- kelnos 2y ago> As for sitting an extra foot off the ground - that’s very useful in very common conditions like snow on the ground Only if the snow is unplowed and has piled up more than a foot or two. And arguably most people shouldn't be driving in those conditions anyway. I do just fine driving up to and around Tahoe in my AWD coupe, even in conditions when I probably shouldn't be out. > or unpaved roads, or whatever else. Which 90% of SUV/truck buyers will never, ever see. And for the snow conditions where high clearance matters, more than half of SUV/truck buyers will probably never see those, either.
