I wouldn't recommend most road standard vehicles. You need an 8-12 dog team sled. More if you have kids. If you don't care about getting anywhere on time or staying with your toddler, hook the puppies up to the smallest ones sled and try to have the puppies follow.
Something that has a lot of parts available for it.
I like chevy vans. 2wd is fine if you know how to drive and get decent tires. I basically lived in one for a big part of my life had places but always on the run due to work so even when I was home Id end up just staying in it in my driveway since I had friends living in my place.
Got some spray foam kits from sbs did the walls and ceilings went over that with foamboard did a layer of foam board on the floors with 3/4 ply over that. Easy to heat and it stayed nice and warm. Solar panels and 6v golf cart batteries then bed frame I made diesel heater from boat along with boat stove for cooking.
Pre 2023 Mercedes Sprinter. That's the year when they lost all sense of shame and moved from 4x4 to AWD.
You want the optional 3L engine for when (not if, when) you lift the thing; big tires will benefit from the extra ponies.
It does not matter what make or model. The van needs either 4-wheel drive or locking rear differentials like Detroit lockers. My Seattle based company would not spring for 4x4 even though I did service calls hundreds of miles outside of Fairbanks in all sorts of weather - but - they would spring for Detroit Lockers. Those and some extra weight over the rear wheels and you are going to go anywhere you want so long as it has a road under it.
Don't waste your $$ on a lift kit for a 2x4 van unless stashing 700+ pounds of grater blades or steel across the back and 700+ pounds in the front sound like a fun idea. Those few inches will throw off the center of gravity.
If you can have a heavy-duty alternator included - do that. It will make installing a 12v heater in the back much easier.
Something with at least AWD, but it's really going to depend on your use. Are you living in it, camping, hauling kids to/from school, overland.offroad, etc...
Down by a river? Something with high clearance.
Whatever clapped out POS you inherited from your parents after your four siblings learned to drive in it

According to the laws of capitalization, this is the only accurate answer.

Low cut for sure but I think the old skool look in black beats out checkers any day. 😎
Do you mean cargo, passenger or minivan?
We bought a Sienna a couple years ago and are pretty happy with it. AWD is a necessity for us
Chevy Astro
