Lots of room to haul people and stuff. My neighbor hauled home tons of stone with his old beat up Chrysler mini-box and hauled away tons of junk to the dump as well. Removable seats made that possible. Put them back in and take the family shopping etc. Cheaper and more versatile than the SUV."
Many of the early models were crap. But, they were a brilliant idea. Later they were much improved. My mother had a Chrysler Town and Country with all the bells and whistles and a 3.8 V6. She loved it. She and my step-father towed a pop up camper with it on a 3 month trip out west through the rockies and all over the Dakotas, Wyoming, etc. It ran perfectly. After they sold the pop-up, she continued to drive it until she traded it off for a Volvo Wagon.
