Minivans are mainly for transportation, but thanks to their spacious interiors and overall size, they can also function as utility vehicles (provided they have a powerful enough engine to handle towing and cargo carrying). Here is how two popular Alberta options, the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica and 2021 Toyota Sienna, compare in this area.Â
2021 Chrysler Pacifica
Engine: 3.6L V6

2021 Toyota Sienna

F-150 owners will have to make do with the vehicle's run-of-the-mill truck bed.
The RAM 1500 also outdoes the Ford with its multifunction tailgate. Owners can unfasten the 60/40 split design dampened doors horizontally or vertically. F-150 drivers are limited to a single panel, which can only operate in the traditional up-down fashion.Â

2021 Jeep Cherokee vs 2021 Nissan Rogue: Which Crossover SUV Dominates in St. Paul, AB?
Tags:
(Posted on Feb 18, 2021 at 02:15AM by Laurel Steele)
If you expect power driven performance and versatility from your crossover SUV, then the 2021 Jeep Cherokee is a no-brainer. Considering its competitor, the 2021 Nissan Rogue, may lead to some head scratching, though. The Rogue’s single powertrain, a noisy 2.5L, is neck and neck with the Cherokee’s base 2.4L, with the two cars producing 181 hp and 180 hp, respectively.
Engine offerings for this Jeep continue with a 2.0L turbo, which presents drivers with a whopping 270 hp. The final option, a 3.2L Pentastar V6 powertrain (packing 271 hp), enables the Cherokee to pull up to 2,041 kg. That’s more than triple the Rogue’s max towing capacity of 612 kg.
The Cherokee’s available Active Drive 4x4 System allows the crossover SUV to automatically initiate 4WD mode should you come across any slippery or loose surfaces. Rogue owners who encounter rough terrain will have to cross their fingers that its underperforming AWD is up to the task.
