Those who need a full-time, multi-purpose work van won’t be happy with some V6-powered minivan conversions. The Express Van was designed to accommodate all manner of configuration, from light-duty chores to maximum hauling.
If you don’t have big people-moving needs, a Chevy Suburban or some other full-size SUV might be a better option. While the Express Van is competent, it’s also crude with a rough ride, noisy interior and bench seating that is far from comfortable on long trips.
