My son refers to this kind of vehicle as a TAV.
That would be a Trad Assault Vehicle."A" Team - Does anyone remember that TV series?

Anyone with, or from a big family will probably relate. I know I can haha.
If you have not experienced van driving with kids you are missing out. :laugh1:
Cheers to the family, they sound like they are a fun bunch :cheers:
"A" Team - Does anyone remember that TV series?Mr. T.! My all-time favorite!
Looks like a decent van for a decent price...This is small compared to what I rode around in when I was a child.
But I have another style in mind to haul around my brood, let me know when you find an outfit like the one below...

Did anyone on here grow up with a Country Squire station wagon? Ours was yellow with fake wood panels, had seats for 10 + driver. It had the third fold-out seat in back and my Dad made and installed two small seats on the floor. He put in extra seat belts, so the front had room for three, middle, four, rear fold-out, two, plus two facing sides. We piled luggage in a homemade roof pod that clamped onto the roof rack. Obviously, this was the days before car seat laws. Seat belts weren't even required, but Dad made us wear them because he'd been in the Navy medical corps and seen what happened to sailors who got tossed out of vehicles.when I grew up for a time there was a station wagon.
:laugh2:.
Love the van ad!
My husband's on the lookout for a stretch limo. So we can roll up the dividing window when it gets bad back there.... 8)
The automatic windows work! This is good because the air conditioner does not.
The van came equipped with automatic door locks. Unfortunately, they no longer work..
Husband says this is my next car :laugh2:A bugout bus!

Cool
Roads optional.
But how awesome are the new van's Ford, Dodge/Mercedes and (my favorite) Nissan are putting out??
While I like the look of the Ford Transit, I've had nothing but trouble with Fords. I think that they're junk. I have the smaller Kia SUV that I bought with 19K miles on it, and it now has 220K, still running strong, without anything other than routine work (and an alternator) that has EVER needed to be done to it. Meanwhile, the Ford Expedition that my wife uses has 150K miles on it but needs to have something fixed at least once every 6 weeks. So I would be inclined to try the Nissan over the Ford.I agree. We have the Sedona and love it. I had a Transit Connect I bought new, with hesitation. At 13k miles it had a faulty throttle body. Sad. I sold it as soon as I could and got a Tacoma. American cars are junk now, sadly. Their companies have no vision. Ford is getting rid of almost all their cars and sticking to SUV's and Pickups. Can you imagine the hit they're going to take when gas goes back up and they have to re-tool machines to make cars again?
