Chrysler Pacific's minivan also has a gvw over 6k...
OEMs tend to play games to classify vehicles as Light Duty Trucks:

The insurance/state classed it as a "station wagon" lolOEMs tend to play games to classify vehicles as Light Duty Trucks:
How does MOVES Define Light Duty Trucks? | US EPA
There are two definitions used in MOVES for light duty trucks ...
"Many SUVs and minivans are considered light duty trucks. Since vehicle manufacturers, and not EPA, determines the GVWR for vehicles and their other characteristics that determine the car/truck classification, EPA has not compiled a list of make/models by model year that classify vehicles."
Does that make it a TRUCK?
Yep. Chrysler took advantage of that with the PT Cruiser 20 years ago.
I know a guy that uses old caravans as trucks.
My dad did this with his Aerostar. A Honda FourTrax will fit right in there.
That sounds like he uses them as cargo vans.
Caravans always felt poorly built and flexy… that must be like trying to drive cooked spaghetti.

What F150 comes with a 6.2L?Did This F-150 XLT Skip Leg Day? Even the Ford Maverick Can Haul More
The Ford Maverick's payload capacity might surprise you.
The Maverick is more of a truck then an F-150 with 4WD and a 6.2L. According to this article.
Click bait for sure, but still true.
My ranger can legally tow more then my old F-150 could.
I knew a guy that set up a caravan for hauling his snowmobile to the mountains. It was cheaper than a trailer and he had a place to sleep if needed, as well as summer storage. I think the Aerostars were body-on-frame so very truckish. My now wife had one when I met her, we called it the G-wagon. It was a mess, had been in a few collisions, most of the exhaust gone, the little side window by the mirror on the passenger side was broken out. I patched it together and used it when working the sugarbeet harvest when I was in school. I lived in the van, sleeping between classes and working through the night, for a month or so. It worked awesome. We ended up selling it after the side door locked itself shut and wouldn't open. All in all, that was a great rig.
It was available from 2010-2014 in the Raptor and HD editions apparently.
