Well this is our "truck", or at least that how it has been used. I have been against Chevy' s since i had a little rattle trap called the s-10. Well the venture has showed me the light. The 3.4 is just the right size for a van, powerfull, but still gets 20 mpg. It is a 7 pass with 5 individually removable seats. brilliant in my opion. and you can fit a queen size mattress in the back, well kinda. Great for cheep camping.
