Minivans are far more efficient at storing stuff and people than SUVs. SUVs lose so much interior space by being higher off the ground.

The idea that SUVs have good storage space is a marketing myth.

People like to use "what if I need to buy 4x8 sheet goods" as a justification for needing a truck, but once every three years when they actually need to buy a sheet of plywood or drywall they could take the back seats out of a Chrysler Pacifica and fit that entirely inside the van.

They don't even need to take the seats out, stow and go!

Oh wow, I’d just seen photos of the plywood at floor level and assumed the seats were out. That’s some good Honda Fit tier stuff!
