Having a very large vehicle to occasionally bring home materials is very
wasteful IMO.

I agree. When my elderly Grand Voyager wears out I plan to buy a small 4 X
8 utility trailer. Empty they weigh 500 lb. so you can haul a useful load
behind a Caliber, Compass or other sensible size vehicle quite safely.

in my opinion....its very wasteful to buy such a large vehicle only to
disable the seatbelt dinger.

I rented a pacifica the other day. Very nice car. Can you fit a 4x8
sheet in the back if all the seats are removed or folded down?

Hi...

And to make it even easier and more economical, if you're fortunate
enough to live amongst good neighbors, you can all even share one

Take care.

What's my opinion? That trailers weigh 500 lb? I got that off the sticker on
the trailer. That a Caliber or Compass can safely pull one? That's what
Chrysler says. No "opinions" needed here.

Or do you think that my "opinion" as to what I intend to do after my Grand
Voyager dies is worthless? If I can't have an "opinion" about my own future
purchases, who can?

Some people have no life.

if it cant fit a 4x8 inthe back then it is a useless vehicle for me. I need
to occasionaly bring home wood and plywoods for my hobby.

For that occasional use what's wrong with the old effective solutions;
a roof rack or a small trailer.
I often have 4x8 plywood cut down a bit so I can carry it in my open car
trunk. My supplier will do about three cuts for free, so I don't even
need a table saw.

On whose planet is a Pacifica a "very large vehicle????" Its not a
Suburban, you know. For that matter, its not quite as heavy as a
decked-out a Town&Country minivan!

either. It's perfect for my family!

Interesting question.

Is the Pacifica a truck? I assumed it was sold as a car.
The Pacifica is about the same weight as a T&C MV.
Heavy for a car, but not that heavy compared to a Magnum.

The Pacifica and Magnum are about the same length as the LH cars, ~200".
They were about 3,400 lb., about 1,000 lbs lighter.

We all know the Suburban is a BIG personal truck; it's weight shows it.

Weights in lb. at Yahoo.com:
Cars...
Caliber'07 SXT manual: 3039
Sebring'06 207L V6: 3,222
Magnum'06 3.5L V6 AWD: 4,159
Pacifica'06 FWD 350V6: 4,383, AWD 4,560.

Trucks...
T&C Minivan'06 LWB 3.8L V6: 4,340
Suburban 1500 2WD: 5,269, 2500 BIG 6L V8 AWD: 6,074
