We rented a Sienna some years back. My kids used to run to the automatic sliding doors to see who could open it first.
Have you looked at the Carnival? I know it only comes in HEV but it looks really good in higher trims.

My kids do that too lol
We looked at the Carnival before we got this Pacifica. It’s nice but I hate the refresh. We’re not going to get another Van, if we keep a Van for a while we’ll buy this one out and keep it.

Their dealer experience is pretty shitty based on what I read all the time.

A Telluride, while impressive in some ways, might not be the best bet in terms of reliability, for two reasons. Consumer Reports did not give the original version very high marks in that field (38 out of 100), and, of course, the latest version is brand-new......first-year models often tend to have more problems than those several years old.

And the Chrysler has been totally acceptable from what you have shared....the reliability gap is so damn small these days it doesn't functionally matter outside of the Toyota 3.5, GM engines and the ford 10 speed
