Minivan Recommendations

I've been itching to get something forest service road capable the last few years. I'm about 60 miles north of Seattle. I like the Gladiator and Bronco but my wife hates the styling of both. I don't like the FJ Cruiser and they don't make them anymore anyway. Maybe a ForeRunner or XTerra...
We took a family vacation to a beach house in Ocean Shores, WA and our minivan did fine as long as we stayed back on the packed sand.
Chrysler should only be considered if you can get a good deal, which you cannot right now because there is still no inventory. I'd go GMC Savannah but most women cannot stomach it, it will be factory direct but you can get MSRP because no one wants them. Will take 6 months to receive order. And shame on all those women who stick their nose up at the GMC Savannah.
Hard to beat a 4runner, always a premium there though. Xterra also isn’t made anymore unfortunately, but good rigs with some specific things to look for. I really like the Bronco as well.
Why else would you buy a minivan? SUV seats are just too hard to maneuver for that sort of thing.
So is there anyone with a minivan that doesn't like it on here? Seems all dissenters are those that went another direction. I've heard very few people that went with a minivan and regretted it. They're not flashy, but they are functional.
I'd really like something where I can take the roof and doors off when I get into the backcountry.
Too bad the Xterra isn't made anymore, I wasn't aware of that. I like Nissans and I'd heard good things about them.
Yea, they are the superior choice unless you: 1) Prefer style over function or 2) Need off-road capability
I just got rid of an 04 SE-X terra.
It was a goddam beast. An underpowered and thirsty beast, but a ******* beast.
Wife didn't want the kids in it.
Maybe he is just efficient when it comes to sex.
Wait, people still have sex? My wife has told me for years it was just a fad that coincidentally ended the same time we got married. We tried to bring it back in style like twice, and we had kids from both times, so I assumed that was our lesson for trying to be trendsetters.
On the newer models how do I get a CD player? Do I have to get an entertainment center? If so is it better to get one after market? Our current 2005 mini van probably is near end of life but we're nervous losing our CD player.
