Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Widest cargo van available — 1920mm allows a full east-west bed for most people
  • Front-wheel drive means flat, low cargo floor with no driveshaft hump
  • Often competitively priced among full-size vans in the US
  • Reference payload leaves useful scope for a conversion when axle limits are respected
  • Front-wheel-drive layout can simplify a lower cargo floor

Cons

  • Only gasoline engine available in the US — no diesel option for fuel economy
  • FWD means limited off-road capability compared to RWD/AWD competitors
  • Lower ground clearance makes rough roads and boondocking more challenging
  • Pentastar V6 fuel economy is poor (13-17 mpg) for long road trips
  • Boxy styling and tall height make crosswind driving more noticeable
