Put 'em on a scale, guys. Driver, full fuel and usual trunk junk. A stripper Econoline and a loaded minivan might be close. But what is the payload of each?
And, minivans are not lightweights. I think GVWR is near 6k on some.
FWIW, they are also not limited by the ridiculously low 3500-lb tow rating, Set up properly they are capable of much more. An aero travel trailer is bread & butter for a good one.
A pretty wide range of use where maximum payload is not the concern. Very good people hauler.
