Just thought I would throw this out and see what everyone else is rolling in. My family is going to be doubling in size this fall and I am forced to sell my beloved F-150. I am looking for some input on family movers, We will have the wife, me, two kids, and a dog. I have been looking at minivans but from what it looks I will be lucky to get 21-22 mpg with a V-6, if thats the case I would rather drive an Expedition or Suburban. heck the diesel Excursions are averaging 20. Is a minivan that much more practical then an suv? I'm not happy with the idea of tradin my truck in for a van but Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Just looking for some input by someone thats been there.
