My favorite van of all time was my 1997 Pontiac TransSport Montanna package van. The next year they changed the name just to Montanna. It was a color I loved and it had so many nice features. One that I really enjoyed was the rear air compressor. I could air up my tires if I was in the middle of nowhere. Now I have a 2003 Chrysler T&C as I read it was a good van. I got mine at 69,000 miles in 2008 and it now has about 110,000 on it. I wish it had the stow and go seats, but my next one will have them. I do not haul German Shepherd around anymore, but I can get 12 smaller crates in my van for my dogs. It reminds me of the days when I had a 1988 extra long Ford E150. I could get 9 or 10 GSDs in that sucker with no problem at all! I would buy crates for their ability to fit in a certain space. LOL! The stow and go seats are the clincher for me. There are so many times that I would love to be able to pop seats up so that my friends and I can go out to eat in one vehicle.
