And I hate their blue-rich eye searing headlights to.

    If your oversized modern SUV can fit, any minivan can fit, and the SUV provides less interior space because they universally waste internal space, while vans maximize space, while maximizing stability and safety as much as they can, so the least safe seat is the “navigator’s seat,” or the passenger seat up front. Other than that particular potential death seat, that I sit in routinely, the rest of the van is almost as well defended as the SUV, the SUV may have better defenses against gunfire.

      Oh? By what numbers, specifically, are you comparing?

      The Chrysler Pacifica, for example, comes in at nearly two feet longer than the average mid sized SUV I ended up getting.

        Length isn’t the limiting factor for most “average” SUVs in getting into a garage. Height and width are the issues. I’ve never had a garage or carport that I couldn’t park my mother’s Dodge Ram 3500 15 passenger van in, and that’s even longer than the Pacifica. Meanwhile, my friend can’t get his Explorer into his garage, cause it will hit the roof.

          You seem to be making quite the generalization there - while not actually providing any numbers.

          I’ve never had a garage or carport that I couldn’t park my mother’s Dodge Ram 3500 15 passenger van in, and that’s even longer than the Pacifica.

          That’s awesome. Unfortunately, your experience doesn’t change that my garage does not allow for the length of a van.
