I've got a 2006 Grand Caravan and hauling pins was one of the main reasons I bought it. The stow and go seats are great. Can drop the seats on one side to get a machine in and still carry the kids one behind the other airline seat style on the other side. I've had three pins (EM's) in at once without the kids and I think I could probably get four in without much problem. No major issues with the vehicle either.

Greatest joy (as far as pinball goes anyway): Bringing a piece of cast-off junk back to life.
Well, I was leaning towards keeping the MPV for another year and lower my debt ratio, but the piece of mess decided otherwise. My overdrive light started flashing yesterday, but only for 10 minutes. Transmission electrical problem. I checked it out with my scanner... I suspect it is the ECM. I called Mazda today... 800$ + 200$ labor.
Done deal. I am getting a 2009 Grand Caravan. To be picked up soon. They are getting it from another dealership, and they will install a few options I asked for. Looks like I will have a new vehicle to head down to Allentown with.

You should head to Detroit first and load the van up with spare parts

Can't go wrong for the money. That's a lot of vehicle for what your paying IMHO.
I have bought a few stripped down cargo vans before. Could never figure out why they wanted more for a stripped utility van with two vinyl seats than the same one with a full interior, windows all around and a bunch of options. I finally broke down and started buying white vans with all the windows which included the full interior and ripped it out.
