My parents had a full size Chevy conversion van when I was growing up. Plenty of room for 5 kids and my parents. That was in the 1990's. Today, late model conversion vans are sold in much lower numbers.
I had the mispleasure of sitting in the 3rd row of a new Highlander as an Uber. It’s torture. The Sienna or Odyssey isn’t much bigger but has a bigger 3rd row.The wife can technically fit 8 passengers in her Expedition, though crawling into the 3rd row seat is a feat best left to acrobats and small children.
Cause farmers always have lots of kids?My cousins have a farm so they had lots of kids to deal with it I guess. Anyway, they always used a suburban just fine.
I had an 07 3500 cargo van with the duramax and nearly 200k miles and i have to say it drove great for the nearly two tons of payload it could handle. Much better riding than an Econoline van.they also drive like garbage
Not always, but it makes sense for rural farm lifestyles to be best supported by a large family.Cause farmers always have lots of kids?
Comcast and AT&T are still sticking to the old GM vans or holding onto Econolines until they fall apart.You wont be able to put as much abuse into a modern van like a Promaster or the ford transit. Many contractors have already worn those new style vans out and gone back to the GM tanks.
The main issue with the traditional van configuration is the head room. Delivery drivers gotta make time and they are slowed down by crouching down while searching for packages.Comcast and AT&T are still sticking to the old GM vans or holding onto Econolines until they fall apart.
I’m shocked Amazon, wanting to cut costs on their fulfillment/delivery end hasn’t gone all in on the GM vans - Mary Barra would have made Bezos & Co. a sweetheart deal they can’t refuse. Amazon trashes those Transits and Promasters. The good thing with the GM vans - any hack at Firestone/Big O/Midas/Meineke/Pep Boys can slap white box parts on it and it will still run.
