Thanks dude! This is exactly the video I needed. You answered all the questions I actually needed answered. You’re a handsome honest fella I’m gonna check out your other videos
The humble Minivan is what saved Chrysler back in the 80s along with the K car. We had a 94 Plymouth Voyager and a 97 Caravan, they were ok for a family hauler but even as a kid I knew it wasn’t great, plus we didn’t have rear air conditioning in ours either.
The 5th gen grand caravan’s aren’t the greatest in terms of performance but god damn are they versatile. The older 5th gen (09-10) had the middle row go into the stow and go compartment, thus letting you fit sheet lumber or drywall. Ironically the old ones also just didn’t quite feel as outdated in some ways. The screen actually looked better. Oh also the USB is for importing mp3s from a flash drive to the internal hard drive.
Odd you didn't demonstrate the stow and go seats, one of the best features why people want this van. You get about 125 cubic feet of storage with the seats in the floor!
Normally I'd totally shit on dodge cuz i hate the brand but after owning a caravan (not by choice) its really not that bad great for work, moving, and family it does all the jobs perfect and not one issue with the engine or transmission, just the heated seats don't work the auto doors stick and sometimes malfunction all this with 80k kms on it and the gas Mileage is terrible even with a light foot, It's a work horse and it does it well not an expensive van by any means
If you’re like me than a 6k caravan with leather seats from a junkyard T&C and an aftermarket 10inch display replacement stereo than this is MORE up-to-date than anything for the same money and just as nice.
The grand caravan is a really good mini van, and i dont understand why they are stopping production. Maintenence must be a priority with the dodge grand caravan.
Your driving the lowest end model i have so many more options and my van witch is a 2017 and it doesn't have the center console you have its completely different
Low tire light is on. Might be why the steering is not what you like. Low tires will make it harder to steer. Also will make it a little more sluggish. Take that into consideration. I know for sure you would kill this van in no time. They are not meant to be a sports car. Makes your review really not credible. Around where I live school districts buy these year after year for student transport and always get at least 300,000 miles out of them. You did yourself no favors with this video, and people will have so much less respect for your reviews because of it. By the way, I retired from a local school district after 35 years and I use to talk to the guys who maintained them, and they said for the price they are tough to beat.
It's safer and simpler than doing a 0-60 test on a crowded highway. Though I don't think he said what result he had. I believe that others have found that for a minivan It's fairly good on the 0-60 test.
you just got dodge caravan'd
Correction, The Dodge Grand Caravan makes 283hp, not 238.
they made a cruise control burnouts by hoonigans.

ahhh, good times.... My highschool bought a fleet of these for driver's ed... Kinda of a large vehicle for new drivers though...

wasn't great ? whats better?
compared to suv's, minivans rock
Going to pick one of these up just BECAUSE it is outdated.
A minivan is one of the best tools a modern man can have in my opinion
These vans are just as if not faster than most sedans in v6
i’m sure you would like the way it handles a lot better if you would air up the tires
3:45 my moms 2011 grand caravan has pretty awful steering as well. I guess it's a problem for all those minivans
They are a lot less outdated if they are a model higher

These actually do have Bluetooth you just have to set it up via the voice command option but it’s very time consuming and tricky to set up

They should just made a dodge version of the Pacifica, maybe it will sell more.
This does sell it’s literally the best selling minivan
@@MiggyCR it was cancelled 2 years ago, best seller right
@@piuthemagicman cancelled because of Covid it’s stated online!
@@piuthemagicman they wanted to reduce the dodge lineup there's a reason why its the most popular vehicle in Canada 🙃
Pacifica is this van
The grand caravan is a really good mini van, and i dont understand why they are stopping production. Maintenence must be a priority with the dodge grand caravan.
My 2017 don’t have power back windows or doors or rear wing windows and no rear climate control
Not really worried about 0 to 60 in a Caravan 😂 but do appreciate the info about the transmission...thanks
Thinking about buying one to camp and live in it lol seats fold down
The Dodge 2017 Caravan is a beast I don't know what you're talking about I own one
Any parts they commonly failing these things?
@@darnellconstant2410Transmission is the about the only weak point.
Just like the nissan frontier kept its model since 2005-2019
Your driving the lowest end model i have so many more options and my van witch is a 2017 and it doesn't have the center console you have its completely different
My family had a 2003 town and country that also had the label on the outlets
can you fit a sheet of plywood im the back of a Pacifica?
Same van just rebranded
Still my very first minivan for me to buy one.
We miss u in gingium’s channel
Love your review and you made me laugh.
This car is the first thing I think of when I here “rental car”.
Take it out of eco mode it’s better

❗❗❗❗❗❗CORRECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT HAS 283HP NOT 238!!!!!❗❗❗❗❗❗
Should have plugged the iPhone into the USB in the glove box
Van gang
I took one thru fmr Loring Air Force Base. It was horrible
I like outdated, more tech more problems.
And more importantly,
more tech means more expensive problems.
my girlfriend has this van
I'm glad chrysler decided to be lazy, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
It doesn’t want to car!😂
lol "It's not repulsive."
😢
okay but who would waste the time taking a mini van around a test track
A person testing it
It's safer and simpler than doing a

@@geofflepper3207 I don’t even remember why I said my comment lol
