Hey there , we have a 12 seater Toyota Hiace and it has heaps of rrom in the back for 2 buggys and an electric wheelchair. We love our van!! We got ours from a childcare centreand it goes great! Our friends kids (with their late model Holdens, etc) always want to ride in the van! Fun, fun, fun!!!

We have an ex-tour bus... it is a 4WD, but has 6 wheels (last 2 are on a lazy axle). It was originally a Landcruiser ute which was transformed into a 14 seater bus. It now has a 6.5l Chevy V8 diesel motor in it, for better grunt There is a few of these or even Oka's getting around, which gives you the 4by-ness, 14 forward facing seats (which we only had to install the bolts and get mod plated in Qld) for car seats, especially now that kids need to be in car seats til they are 7 yrs old and there is a step to help you up & down.... Kids can see everything being so high up, they think it's great, as does all they're friends. It has huge grunt, so towing isn't a problem either.
Otherwise Landrover Defender 110 County are a 10 seater 4wd.... but not real easy tracking one down as they were only made form 1981 to 1991, and no-one who owns them seem to want to part with them. They are 6 forward facing seats (inc driver) and 4 side facing seats.
Van wise... other options are Ford Transit BUS - these are standard 12 seaters... or a Mercedes Benz Sprinter BUS - come 10 to 14 seats from memory...all are forward facing seats in both these and can be purchased brand new. If the vehicle has more than 12 seats, you will need a LR truck licence in Qld to drive it and it will be in the annual inspection program with Qld Transport (where it gets a roadworthy check)... however you can have seats removed to 12 to drop it down a classification to be driven as a car & no VIP.

Hope this helps
