The truck-based minivan that was a weird experiment. It's body-on-frame with a 4.0L V6 and RWD—not a typical minivan. It's a niche classic for the adventurous.
A minivan that was built like a truck—body-on-frame, RWD (later AWD with a viscous coupling), and a 4.0L Cologne V6 (155-160 hp). It had a unique front suspension with long-arm/short-arm (A-arm) and rear leaf springs. It was a competitor to the Chrysler minivans but was narrower and more utilitarian.
The 3.0L Vulcan V6 (early years) is reliable but underpowered. The 4.0L OHV is stout. The A4LD transmission is the weakest link—it overheats and fails. The AWD system is rare but works well. These are old-school vans—if you find one with low miles, it's a collector item, but parts are getting scarce.
