Most minivans hold between 7 and 8 passengers including the driver with average sized adults. The Toyota Sienna has a capacity of 8 passengers. The Honda Odyssey seats 7. Both of these vans have a towing capacity of between 3500-4000 pounds. So, with an average family of four the van should be able to hold around 1500 pounds of extra weight. This would be in addition to the weight of the passengers and their belongings.
What is the maximum weight a minivan can hold?
Assuming you are referring to a standard American minivan, the answer is around 3500-4000lbs. This number will differ depending on the make and model of the vehicle as well as any modifications that have been made. The average family minivan is not built to hold much more than its passengers and their luggage. Heavier loads will start to put stress on the frame and suspension, which can lead to problems down the road. If you regularly need to transport large or heavy items, it may be a better idea to look into a different type of vehicle that is better suited for the task.
