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.

    100% the last bit. Unless you’re regularly hauling a fifth-wheel camper or have swapped the bed for a towing rig there’s pretty much no reason to own one and it’ll be worse at everything. For personal use there are sooooo many vans that do a better job and for work that goes double!

    Trucks are just straight terrible.
