But rather, we see offroad SUVs and pickups more these days?
With offroading SUVs and pickup being all the rage today, and with city dwellers buying fuck huge gigantic "off-road capable" SUVs and pickups, only to use it as a grocery getter rather than legitimately go for off-roading once every week like how those SUVs and pickups are actually intended to be used - why aren't we seeing a trend of instead, off-road vans?

Normally, whenever we see the stereotype of some persons going offroad in movies and tv shows, for serious purposes, we almost always see them in a highly customized offroad van, and not in some SUV or pickup. Because if you look at it from an off-roading perspective, it is highly practical to have a van with high ground clearance, 35 inch tires, and standard offroad features like sway bar disconnect, etc. etc. etc. on a van, rather than a SUV or pickup. Much roomy, storage, etc.

What are your thoughts?

Yeah but these are for $201000, $235000, surely regular car companies like Ford, Nissan, Toyota, etc. can produce an affordable $40k van which maybe even a hybrid, but has 35 inch tires stock, has 15 inch ground clearance, and has cool practical features like vacuum cleaner, car battery, roof racks, hooks, etc. etc. ?

A new high roof transit costs $54k with no other options

Quigley will take a new/like new Ford Econoline cutaway and install their lift kit and 4wd system for a cool $20k but then you have to figure out the living situation on your own. I see the kitted out sprinters in PNW all the fucking time though.

Vans fucking suck to daily drive. It's also going to be an extremely challenge to get an already top heavy and bad handling vehicle to pass safety handling standards when it's lifted on 35's. Long and tall are both very bad off road.
