I welcome any input anyone is…

My wife and I are quickly coming to the realization that we will need a bigger van with a better load capacity than our current Kia Sedona. I have been exploring Chevrolet Express or something by Ford, but like many art fair travellers, I need the best possible deal I can find.
So, does anyone have any thoughts on vans, what works, what doesn't work, pricing, sizes, types...etc.
Thanks for the help.
