Question Full size van options

Chris

New member
Talk to me about full size van options. I had my heart set on a Nissan NV, but they are apparently hard to get where I live now. The Sprinter is out of our price range. Ford transit seems to be a viable option. Any reviews/thoughts on it? Any other full size vans I should be considering?

We have 5 kids, some in seats, some teens who just keep getting bigger. Are there other big family vehicle options that I should consider?

We have an '05 caravan. One issue is that we frequently travel with family or friends and even an 8 seat mini only gives us room for grandma. I have a hard time believing that with carseats and adults, the 8 seaters fit 8 comfortably. I know that right now, while we have belts for 7 passengers, it is miserable to actually cram 7 people in our car.

8 people in an 8 seater 2011+ Odyssey is WAY easier than 7 in a Caravan. The 3rd row would be a little squished, but not bad with the right car seats.

If you want 9+, then yes, you need something bigger.
