Should have said choose not to spend. There's a higher cost but they're more expensive for a reason

Also I thought about the set ups of our 2 Yukons. They both had the middle bench and seated 8. I guess 9 is with a front bench? Who wants that anyway.

Our minivan set up was 7, so yes with the typical set ups you can take 1 more human.

As to your anecdotal cargo space claim I just don't know what to say. 9 cubic feet is a lot. But if it hauls all your stuff who cares.

I'm glad you love your minivan. I apologize for any implication I'm somehow wealthier than you. That's very likely not the case.
