Minivans are usually front wheel drive whereas SUVs are usually either rear wheel or AWD. Front wheel drive suffers from massive understeer and having all the weight in back being pulled around by the front makes them a fucking pain in the ass to drive, especially when you have a load of stuff in it. You can't pull a trailer with front wheel drive, it overall has less cargo capability and minivans just suck for anything that ISN'T hauling a shit ton of kids around. They're usually massively underpowered for the weight too. And any van is a PITA to work on, trust me on that. At least my RWD old school van has the doghouse between the front seats so you can get to the engine fairly easily, although it does make things messy in there after a major repair.
