The ACTUAL reason truck sales are falling is because nobody can afford them anymore.

With the way the World is, many people may end up living in vans .
My friend once said " If you have a Van, You always have a place to Sleep ."

[australiantruckspotting]

Another big advantage of a van is that your gear in the back is all locked up and secure if you’re parking on a street.

[glenmoss]

I can argue for both. I'm leaning towards a van, myself. However, the main reason why full sized pickup sales are down is the outrageous prices the dealers are asking for.

When helping a grand-daughter move to/from college, I would rent Dodge vans with stow-n-go seats. In 5 minutes I could convert a passenger van to a cargo van.

I remember when my friends would try to pressure me into getting a truck, and my response was either a Toyota Tacoma or a van. They would laugh, but would grow silent when I would give them the reasons. The truth is that I do love big trucks, but most of us aren't hauling big loads, aren't on the road, or making appliance deliveries. So the majority of the reasons big truck owners use, usually comes down to ego and preference. I've always been a functionality over looks kind of guy, but I won't say I don't get it. If you want the truck, get the truck, but shut up about vans. Because toe to toe, they win every time.

My 93 Chevy Astro (rwd) is my main driver and everything is ridiculously original still. Its 400 miles shy of hitting 300, 000 miles. Easy to work on for maintenance (yes, even spark plugs), comfortable and reliable.

[AlaskaPilot]

Our family vehicle is a van, because we can decide whether we need a cargo hauler, a mini bus, or a simple weekend camper van just by moving seats and rearranging the cargo shelves that double as a bedframe. So much versatility in one vehicle.

[airtow]

How about the fact that even a bottom of the line pickup costs $70, 000.

[OrganicGreens]

For me I'm a gardener. Trucks are great for that. They can just dump soil right in the bed at the soil yard. Also you can fit trees in the bed more easily. I like small trucks tho. Good enough for soil and plants

Honda Odyssey, ALL rear seats can be removed, turning it into a panel van. They have their annoying issues, but overall are tremendously useful and flexible vehicles.

I can fit full 4x8 ft sheets of plywood or drywall in my cargo van, and up to 12 ft long lumber. And can leave inside overnight, without concern for weather. I can fit a ton more tools for work. Its so much more versatile than a truck. Can still tow a lot of weight too. Only 1 down side is only 1 passenger seat.

[johnconnolly]

I know he’s referring to cargo vans BUT My Toyota. Minivan is a beast- 165K miles - cost $20k in 2012- daughter uses it at school in WV ( handles the hills pretty well) I used it to move tons of cement, moved a Gymnastics gym 2x with it- 4’x8’ sheets of sheet rock and plywood fits perfectly in the back with seats pulled- wish it had stow/go ( dodge is crap compared even though I only had a 4 cyclinger). Comfy to drive - I would prefer a beefy suspension and AWD but it rocks- love Toyota- sad to say US made cars have let me down

[billthomas]

I just got a Toyota Sienna LE/AWD, I'm just now starting the stealth camper conversion. trailer hitche for e bike and roof rack for kayak. Hello Fun.

[ResortDog]

Ive got a pair of Toyota cargo vans 86, 87 and never regretted them.

[billjack]

🚐 I wish I'd seen this video before I bought my truck. You've got some great points about vans.

[notdave]

I always loved the idea of a off road style, sleeper van.

[ThomasKing]

I love the production on these videos.

[recyclespinning]

Van or pick-up, theres pro and cons. A van fits more tools, but a, pick-up is easier loading ladders on racks, the open bed works great when hauling odd shaped items .
