I've driven a Grand Caravan for a weekend and the Pacifica drives better. It isn't quite as tall as a minivan and feels more like a wagon to me, especially in taffic next to larger sedans. Not much higher sitting than them. I don't know if you want the truck feel or not, but the Pacifica rides nothing like our pickup. It pales in utility to a minivan, but worth a dealer visit and test drive.
