Tall, yes. Skinny, no.

Only one of the Murricans is wider than any of the Euros, and that's only wider than one of them. As to height, the shortest Ram is a lot taller than the rest but the others can come within a few inches of the Detroit offerings. But I've loaded a couple, and the vertical space in the tall ones is awesome! Especially with trucks and vans, form follows f$<!#& function- so I'll take the tall any day no matter how skinny their wider bodies look.

-Chevy Express
Width 79.2 in-79.4 in
Height 81.8 in (96–98)
-Ford Econoline Fourth Generation (92+)
Width 79.3–79.9 in
Height 80.7–84.1 in
-Dodge B Van (98+)
Width 79.8 in
Height 79.5 in-79.9 in

-Ford Transit Fifth generation (13+)
Width 80.8–83.7 in
Height 82.2–110.1 in
-Fiat Ducato (Ram Promaster) Third Generation (07+)
Width 79.7 in
Height 99.4 in-108.8 in
-Nissan NV (12+)
Width 79.9 in
Height 83.9 in

With more than four people, minivan. With more than six, big van and who cares what it looks like?
