But, the biggest downfall of a minivan is that it's a minivan.
You can get one of those roof storage bags that are waterproof that you can put on top of your vehicle. And you'll look way cooler in an SUV as opposed to a minivan.

They are nice but the third row is a joke unless you have elementary age kids

Highest rated SUV according to several sites is the Hyundai Palisade

Love my palisade, but there is just so little cargo room...

That's the biggest downfall of switching to SUV. If you still have kids, I'd stick with minivan. Can't beat

Didn't most grownups get over that stupid stigma about 10 years ago?

The only people who hate minivans are those who don't own one.

I own one. Prefer SUVs

I had one for years. It was extremely practical and utilitarian. And I hated it.

So you hate practical, utilitarian things?

If it's a minivan, yes.

Towing in a minivan is . . . less ideal. Best to get an SUV or Truck for towing

Bought an Ascent last fall and have loved it. Can't beat Subaru 4WD.

Doesn’t it feel underpowered? Being a 4-cyl and all

Not at all. Haven't towed anything yet but can pull 5K lbs. No problems over Alpine loop or hills on freeway. Guess

No. It is very peppy.

Better deal right now is on the GMC version of the Suburban. Nicer interior,

We ditched the minivan for a Yukon XL because we wanted more cargo space behind

You give up a lot of leg room in the 3rd row for that trade off.
Baron
7/9/20 6:09am
And you basically trade vertical space for horizontal, which has its uses, but

The 2021 Yukons are switching to independent rear suspension to lower the floor.

Sounds like your options are a minivan or a Suburban, but you won't find a Suburban with similar year and miles

Your only option is a minivan. Nothing comes close in the 3rd row leg room.

Yep. 3rd row in SUVs are awful. It's like riding in a cop car

Look into the Kia Telluride. Seriously. Decent third row leg room.

Does the third row in SUVs lay down so you can have all the room you need for

In the Expedition Max it does. The back row is split so you can lay just half

You will lose space. Minivans are unbeatable for interior space.

Just get a minivan. But if an SUV, 4wd 4Runner with the third row.

Yukon XL or suburban.

I highly doubt I'll ever tow anything with it, but I appreciate your concern.
