Which is better, a wagon or a van?
Minivans come loaded with crash-avoidance and crash-protection technology, and their generous size gives extra security in the event of a crash. Station wagons, though, add an extra degree of crash prevention: They’re smaller, which means they can swerve more easily to avoid a potential collision. If you need to tow a trailer, boat, or camper, SUVs are the better option. They generally have a higher towing capacity than minivans, which are designed more for daily driving and family trips.
Is a van a car or truck?
A van is a type of road vehicle used for transporting goods or people. Depending on the type of van, it can be bigger or smaller than a pickup truck and SUV, and bigger than a common car but relatively smaller than a truck/lorry or a bus. British English (ˈvænˌbɔɪ ) or van-man (ˈvænˈmæn ) noun.
