CNN says minivans are having a moment again — anyone else feel like you got in right before it got cool?

Saw an article about millennials buying minivans again — Sienna sales up 35%, minivans running $4k cheaper than a comparable SUV, people decorating them on TikTok instead of hiding that they own one.
Kind of funny timing since I feel like most of us here bought ours for exactly that reason — cargo space and price, not to be cool. Anyone else notice more new-looking Pacificas around lately, or is that just me?

2027 Pacifica front end — what do you think?

Looks like the 2027 Pacifica keeps the same overall body and interior layout, with most of the visible changes happening up front.
What do you think of the new front end?
And for anyone who knows the Pacifica well — do you notice anything different in the rear cargo area or interior? From what I can see, the back looks basically identical to the current model.

How do you secure a dog crate in a Pacifica?

I’ve got a 10kg Shiba who used to climb into the front and sit on my lap while driving — exactly as safe as it sounds.
He rides in a crate now.

The crate stopped that. The sliding is the part I ended up solving myself, since two tie-down points back there don’t do much for anything crate-sized.

But I’m curious what everyone else landed on. Straps through the D-rings? Seatbelt through the crate frame? Wedged between the seats and hope?

What do you use to tie down cargo? Two D-rings isn’t enough

2017+ Pacifica. The entire cargo area has two D-rings by the hatch and that's it. Anything heavy slides on the first turn — coolers, crates, tool boxes.

Tried seatbelts with a carabiner. Didn't hold.

I ended up building a floor system with anchor points across the whole area (that's the CargoSurf stuff in my post history — I make it, so take that as you will). But I'm genuinely curious what everyone else does before spending money on something custom.

Anchor plates? Aftermarket rings? Cargo nets? What actually holds up?
