I second the part about cheap. The inside cracks easily after only 17 years and the paint is bad... the wiring is atrocious. The seats tear and wear out.

It just happens to be that they have a Cummins (in only 2 models, or rather a few trims of one model) which only makes the rest look worse

Only get one if you have a real reason, or if you like to work on cars.

EDIT: also, as for minivans, pretty much any domestic minivan will only be good for 70K miles. I can speak from seeing 3 driven to the end of their short life. The suspension and transmission tend to be the weak points from my experience with minivans.
