Vans and minivans do everything trucks and SUVs do, and they do it better. Every time. No exception. SUVs and crossovers are just worse minivans for people who think they're too cool to drive a minivan.
And those outside of North America largely need not apply. I wish we could just have a robust public transit system here, but apparently, public transit is antithetical to muh freedum or something. Or so they tell me.
And that's not even getting into the point the post makes, which is that these monstrosities are getting bigger and more dangerous to pedestrians, yet our governments do nothing to stop it.
Except tow things.
My in-laws have a van that can out-pull my pickup. Partly due to my trucks age and how heavily it has been used over the years, but their van isn't exactly a pushover.
And they have their own pickup that is only a few years old and it can't tow their camper very well. They use their van whenever they can.
