My minivan seats seven. It has the footprint as a toyota camry. It’s only marginally heavier than a camry.

Can you please explain to me again why you need a lincoln navigator or the like?

Toyota Camry curb weight is ~3300 pounds. The minivan based on the Camry is the Sienna, curb weight ~4600 lbs. Lincoln Navigator curb weight ~5600 lbs. If the difference between the first two is marginal (~30%), the difference between the second two is less (~20%).

By comparison, actual CDL-requiring commercial trucks weigh up to 80,000 pounds.
