chevy tahoe vs dodge grand caravan...help pls!

We are 4 adults and 3 young kids arriving 19th april (8 weeks today yey!)

We have booked with dfch Andy a 7 seater dodge grand caravan (or similar)
have checked prices today and the price of a 7 seater chevy tahoe (or similar) is £150 less.

We already know we are going to be super squished on the journey from mco to villa and then on the return leg. but wondering if the chevy tahoe is smaller or the same size and worth saving some money?

obv we will need all 7 seats in use so we know we are going to have cases at feet etc!

On dfch the tahoe is showing as being ok for 3 cases whereas on other websites it says 4/5 so i am a bit confused. (dodge shows as 4)

any help, advice or ideas greatly received!

Tahoe has less space for luggage. You will be suprised at the space in the caravan. Id stick with that, we much prefer the roomspace in the mini van.

We are a family of 7, two car seaters and caravan gives us the option for one car as tahoe just too tight.

Looks like we have a similar countdown. Have a fab time x

Yep. SUVs don't have as much luggage space. The dodge caravan is nice and very roomy.

We found the Tahoe a better car but minivan was better for us...three adults plus wheelchair (+adult and child).

Wondering how many cases you're planning to taking (out and in)?
You'll definitely struggle with the Tahoe if it's 1 large case per person.
Have not driven the Minivan for a few years, so can't comment personally.

I think us 5 will take 3 largish cases. (20kg) and mum and dad 2.
