Nothing wrong with the mini-van. I tried to talk my wife into one as things like stow-n-go seating and decent (if not good) mpg's is pretty nice. We had.... maybe 4 in the course of growing up and they were all quite nice. Rides better, more comfortable, and practical than a truck based SUV. Anyway, with "only" one toddler and one baby on the way, plus two dogs, my case wasn't strong enough, thus the Yukon. You will enjoy, not to mention, you still have your truck, you will be good to go!
