Went Rock crawling in my van today.

@Doom! So, is that Transit your everyday vehicle?

 

[Doom!]

Yep, it's my daily driver. I had a Ranger, but at the time we were getting up into the hills less and less, so when it was time to replace it, I decided on a van so I could transport my rc planes easier. Of course now that I have the van I am getting more into surface rc's and now miss my truck...life is so fickle sometimes.

I've never thought of a Transit as an everyday vehicle, but that looks pretty cool. We have 3 kids, and need a larger vehicle that's not the size of a Suburban nor the price tag of one. The wife has been driving a Sienna ever since we had our 3rd child. Actually on our 2nd one. The reason we've started with the a Sienna is because it was really the only minivan that has an AWD option. The Chrysler Pacifica is available now, but Chrysler just aren't known for reliability.
Too bad that XLT don't come in AWD.

All wheel drive would be nice, I am jealous of the wifes new Subaru outback, it should be ready late oct early nov. Then we can go some places I'd rather not take my van. Can't replace the van until we pay off the subaru we haven't even received yet. I tried to tell her she really wanted my van but she didn't fall for it.

My daily is a 2015 Chevy City Express.. basically an NV200 with a different bumper.
I really like the cargo van as a daily driver. But you need back seats for kids.
The older Chrysler Caravans did pretty well.
