Drive like crap
Sit low to the ground
Seats are too close to the floor
Can't tow anything
Front wheel drive sucks
Look like crap
Can't tow anything

Only redeeming quality about our minivan is my wife loves it. But she also understands why I hate it and it was her idea to get the excursion when we had our 4th kid. I was going to replace my Tundra with an F250 with a front bench seat for when we camped and she told me if I got the excursion I would never have to ride in the minivan. And I haven't been in the minivan since. It's fantastic.

Plus I got to keep my Tundra to daily drive. No car seats and no mess. For the first time in 8 years I have a vehicle that stays clean.

Serious question.

Do people really think driving a big SUV makes you "cool?"

---

I wouldn't drive a minivan. We raised two kids and somehow survived without one.

My wife's quote was "If you bring home a minivan, you can drive it".

We had many cars and SUVs over the years. A suburban is great for pulling a skiboat, and the Lexus GX is much more capable than one would think at pulling trailers as well.

I am still not very cool though. Pretty sure that my mode of transportation will not solve the issue at this point.

If you have to pull, sure, truck based vehicle is fine.

But what is wrong with driving a minivan for you and your wife?

---

I have to be able to pull a horse trailer and a boat trailer. Occasionally a utility trailer.

Even if I didn't pull trailers, a minivan was never on the list.

They are fugly.

Its kinda like fat chicks and mopeds. Might be fun but nobody wants to be seen on one.
