I drove from Pittsburgh to Yellowstone and back towing a pop-up camper over two weeks with zero fatigue and no problems! And I started with 68,000 miles on the odometer.
This van was extremely comfortable. It towed my 2000 lb. camper like nothing. The VHS video system with flip down monitor was great for the kids while traveling cross-country. I purchased this in December 2003 for only $9900 and it it LOADED and was in like-new condition with only 63,000 miles when purchased. You can't beat a deal like that. I've had it for nearly one year and have only needed to replace the power steering pump (which failed AFTER we were back from vacation fortunately).
We have been extremely happy with this van. With AWD it drove extremely well in the snow last winter, even better than my little front wheel drive Saturn.
Look for a used one, 2-3 years old with less than 65,000 miles for about $10K or less and you'll be set!
