Easily fit in a Minivan ^_^

No joke, minivans are actually great for a lot of things people think they need a truck for.

We use our minivan for a lot of these things, but I’d love to buy bulk mulch / topsoil instead of the bags. But loose mulch doesn’t play well with the van.

I’ve always considered myself a GM//Chevy guy, but I’m strongly considering this truck.

And I love that it doubles as a Powerwall...

Eliminates the need for a generator (I work from home so if the power is out I can just take the ICE for errands and have the truck power the house — you don’t have to be a truck person to find that pretty nifty!)

That is a really cool feature. I think for extended outages (which we do have) a propane generator fed by a big tank is great. But most outages are a day or less, so having that all ready to go in your truck is really cool.

But then you’re driving a minivan.

I've renovated four houses with my minivan.
