I have a Windstar. My suggestion is if you REALLY want to keep your van
clean, is either get a trailer (and the factory tow package with your
freestar), or just clean it up.

I don't know about the freestar, but with the windstar, you cannot close
the back door on a sheet of ply or drywall or whatever, and there is
nothing to latch a strap onto on the door except the plastic loop strap
used for closing it. There also isn't anything to really attach the
other end of a strap to hold the door closed either. I usually loop it
around the armrest on the driver side and hold onto it. OTOH, if you are
hauling narrower stock, you can used the seat latching bases in the
floor to attach a strap to.

Does anyone have a minivan that you can close the door on a sheet of
plywood, or a stack of same?

Not that I'd spend much time doing it, but our Honda Odyssey will hold a
full sheet, assuming you fold down the rear seat and remove the two
passenger seats. Another advertisement for a trailer.
