Last I looked, the interior capacity of a larger minivan was greater than that in an Expedition. Unless you carry people in the bed, a Crew Cab pickup ain't gonna get you much.
My own solution (for the past 22 years) has been a full-size van...there is NOTHING that has as much interior space as my E150. But, given gas prices (headed upward to $150 per barrel), there will be an excellent selection of used, low-mileage Expeditions and vehicles like that for a lot of years to come. My van, which I had planned to use as a daily driver, is now parked most of the time, unless we need the "family motorhome" feature for long trips or carrying Big Stuff.
