The Base Model? Maybe Not.

Here’s why. Quad cabs look better. Have a longer bed. Not everyone needs a Crew Cab.

I still prefer my CC 6.4 bed w/RamBoxes over a QC any day.
Belltech 2/4 coming soon.

I 2nd that......When the kids were young it was the best vehicle I owned. As a matter of fact I do not understand why anyone with kids between 7 and 14 would have anything but a mini van .

I don't have kids and still liked having a minivan they're extremely useful if you don't need off road or towing capability. What eventually did mine in was the fact nobody repairs them, there are no aftermarket repair parts for all of the luxury parts. Power sliding side doors failed, so they were really difficult to force open and repair options were either equally old junkyard assemblies that are just going to fail again or $3000 OEM assemblies. Rear A/C controls broke, junkyard only part. Passenger door handle broke, junkyard only part. I sold it after only a year, just couldn't deal with a decaying vehicle.


I think that demographically minivans are treated as disposable machines, someone buys them new and raises their kids, sells them off to someone else who does the same or uses it a couple years for Lyft or hauling paint and hardware to jobsites and then they're crushed. Nobody tries to get 20 years out of a minivan, so there's no market for any repair parts beyond the primary maintenance bits (spark plugs and brake shoes, etc) - not a good vehicle for somebody who likes to keep their machines in like-new condition.
