If the back hatch is open for too long the button does not work on purpose...it is supposedly a safety feature. They got tons of complaints about it so there is now a software fix that changes the timeout to be longer. You can go get it updated for free at the dealer.

[@mjareacts2731]

TheStraightPipes if I still had a bunch of little babies I wouldn't have bought anything that nice on the inside, especially in the back. That model definitely isn't meant to shuttle kids around, unless they're those super proper prep kids.

[@stephenhendricks103]

Interesting fact. It's widely assumed that minivans were the choice of "soccer moms" and the category has nearly died because males opted for SUVs. In fact, the opposite is the case. Market research indicates that males appreciate the versatility of vans and it's women who shifted their allegiance to SUVs out of a belief that they were "safer" than vans, provided more visibility with elevated seating, and didn't stigmatize women who drove vans as those soccer moms.

[@AmandaAcresHomestead]

I've heard this as well! The practicality and versatility has me sold. I can't fit plywood in the back of my wife's SUV, but our Town & Country can almost work as a de facto pickup as long as I don't have to tow.

[@reduxith]

In my opinion Minivans and Wagons are the best vehicles for families

I bought an old odyssey specifically because they molded even the seat belt mounts to perfectly fit plywood in the back. Super legit.

@@saleemswaiss8133 rear cargo load height is what kills me when loading/unloading strollers. I prefer minivan height. Also minivan enter height is much better for small kids and elderly. Cargo space wise, SUVs don't have that deep area like minivans do. In that sense, minivans are superior. Also the 2nd row seats can be taken out without modifications, can't do that with SUVs.

Loved the minivans (Honda Odyssey - '09 used, then '15 new) when the kids were babies. So much room for everything, sliding doors... Now that the kids are 12 we've moved on from Minivan Life to a new Outback and we're NEVER looking back. So much more comfortable, fun to drive... However, can only fit maybe 1/2 the cargo - those vans are huge - so for camping we have to mount a rack to the tow hitch to fit everything (kayaks on the top). Only time we miss the minivan is for cargo, otherwise the Outback XT Touring is where it's at when the kids get older.

Our shortlist for the next family tourer right now is: E63s Wagon, Taycan 4s Cross Turismo, or a Model X.

[@John-vh1fk]

There’s a recall out now to fix the tailgate not closing if it’s left open too long. Also, Chrysler doesn’t seem to know what DRLs are. So in the settings if you turn on DRLs, to them that means you want the headlights on all the time. If you turn off the DRLs in settings, then it will only illuminate the LEDs around the headlights (which most companies consider DRLs).

In my 2019 Ram I have the same issue, not with the DRL actually but with the interior ambient lighting. If you want the headlights on and interior ambient lighting on the screens get super dark. Which is fine at night but if the headlights turn on when it’s raining and light outside you basically can’t see anything.

[@jbountalas]

Nice review. I think though you would have been better off to review the Limited AWD with the two rows of stowNgo.. The Pinnacle might have slightly nicer seats, but one of the top reasons to have a minivan is versatility. As you pointed out, you can't remove the middle row seats in the Pinnacle. In the Limited and the other trims, you can fold them into the floor and have 8 ft of flat cargo space. Try the box test then and see what you get. I have the old Grand Caravan kind of squared off minivan, but stuff I've been able to haul around and still be able to seat 5 people is pretty impressive. Can't wait for the Carnival review. Keep 'em coming.

As a parent of 3 kids (that are now grown) and a previous owner of 3 minivans as well as a few SUVs I can easily say, the minivan is a far superior vehicle for families. Get over the stigma. Why drive a inferior vehicle just because you think it makes you look cooler? When I see families with SUVs I don’t think they are cooler, I think they are stupid and more interested in image over substance. Now that my kids are grown we don’t need the space of a minivan so my wife now drives a small CUV because she likes the higher seating position she got used to in the minivan. Last point, I owned 2 Chrysler minivans and 1 Kia Sedona (not the Carnival). The Kia was a MUCH better vehicle than the Chryslers that both needed their transmissions replaced.

Minivans are awesome. One point you did not consider is the GVWR difference between an SUV/CUV and Minivan. In 1990 I couuld haul a full size washer and drier in a Dodge Grand Caravan. Do that in your Escalade!

[@ryant2568]

"peasant blocker" love it.

[@bikingD]

Minivans are so cool for families. So much more practical and better then toaster over SUV's.

[@Yaga0p]

3:22 yuri:- get your own minivan on patreon😂😂🤣🤣🤣

[@rashodreed233]

This is the one thing I enjoy the most about this channel, they'll drive anything lmao

[@x6King6x]

I'm one of the few that hate captain chairs in the second row. If I wanna get a family van to fit alot of people I would get the one with the bench. It's one seat but still.

[@pielandre8275]

I feel called out with our sedan + hatch and my first baby on the way.

[@TheHi-T]

I know a family whom drove their baby around in a 2010 Toyota Yaris hatchback. They still have it! I did not want a SUV. Purchased a 2020 Forte5 GT for its interior & cargo space. Hopefully, in a couple years I'd be able to fit a stroller & more. If not, I'd want a van (KIA Carnival/Chrysler Pacifica) or a wagon (Subaru Outback). Pacifica for its Stow 'n Go. All options will be great for camping.

[@timglascock5558]

Shout out to Plymouth voyager life! Learned to drive in a '92 5-speed manual and it was the best high school rig! Slow but you could fit 11 people and I put in massive 12" subs in it. So good!

[@elliotlim8046]

Great review as always! Will you review the new Carnival in the future?

[@idontgotnothin]

Didnt even know chrysler was still around

[@nicholassmith7048]

Just about. They're down to this and the 300.

[@ejaazidris1649]

The snippets of the Chrysler guy are hilarious 🤣

[@mrle0719]

I clicked on the video just so that more people get recommended van videos instead of SUVs Also you make great videos xD

[@KasperXplore]

Actually the pentastar has variable valve timing which works similar to vtec

[@TheCoffeeField]

Any current owners have major issues with the Pacifica? Specially around electronics and engine stalling?

[@jeremystout412]

Hear me out: the 2.0T “Hurricane” for the Cherokee or Wrangler needs to be stuffed in the Pacifica. 295 ft lbs of torque would be fun, not to mention the possibility of something similar to the 4xe. Of course they’re limited with the amount of power the 9-speed can handle reliably. Fun fact: The rear axle/differential is supplied by American Axle & Manufacturing which is very similar to the Active Drive system in the Jeep Cherokee which isn’t surprising since the chassis is loosely similar aside from its dimensions.

I drive a challenger scat pack with a six speed manual for my baby hauler. I have a 1 and 3 year old. Rear facing car seat fits behind the passenger who is usually my 5 foot tall wife and a forward facing car seat behind me doesnt affect my driving position at 5'10"

[@Afromite]

Can we expect the Kia Carnival next? Cause seriously that is a beast of a minivan, that I would love to see you guys review.

[@TheFunkyWhiteBoyShow]

The Canadian spec is much different from the American spec.

[@hgmusic-bassboosted3458]

I wish to own it, because it is so beautiful and delicate design

[@wajahat6200able]

@0:43 “it be nice if it was a V8” It’s a family minivan, 80-90% of the time the “driver” for this van isn’t even pushing it past 3-4K rpm so they will never even feel even 200hp so V8 is useless and unnecessary. The most important thing is how much they are spending on the gas pump every week

[@2024hekyeah]

Lol you will be surprised how many minivan racers are out there! Few years ago I owned a Mercedes crossover which looked pretty much like a minivan except it had a 6.2 l v8 with 507 hp r63 amg. Whenever my wife and I drove around every minivan was trying to race her and she would blow their doors off each time with just a tap on the throttle!

[@DxCBuG]

@@2024hekyeah Minivan owners are driving and racing like delivery van guys. Both have great breaks on their vehicle. So if the car is empty you can Hoon a mini van or a sprinter very well 😁

[@2024hekyeah]

@@DxCBuG haha so true

[@Branden_Witte]

My wife wants a third row SUV like the Pallisade or Traverse. I would gladly take this or a Carnival any day over either. It’s just so practical. She hates minivans, though.

[@krane15]

The minivan has way more utility.

[@ksawaleed62]

My mind went totally wrong when I saw yuri’s tshirt 😂
