The pic you posted represent the ones in use where I live, so I won't post one of my own.
Quoting Bagpiper (Thread starter): I have seen some other types of mail trucks here in the US, including minivans
Several years ago I saw some Ford Windstar vans in use in Albuquerque. I don't recall if they were right hand drive or not. I only saw them on one or two occasions, then never again. I assume they were part of a short term trial.

Quoting ShyFlyer (Reply 7): Is that just in rural areas, or everywhere?
Rural. IIRC, the mail carriers own them and the government pays them handsomely for their mileage. When I did US Census work, I made twice as much in mileage payments "per hour" than the $12/hour job paid.

The Windstars are still around. I've also seen them use Dodge Caravans.
The reason New Mexico is so windy is because Texas sucks and Arizona blows.

Just about, for suburban areas and cities at least. My grandparents in Kansas City get a Jeep Wrangler. Probably the same case as the Liberties in the North.
