Quick correction at 8:20 with the seats - the lever on the backrest will move the seat forward so you can access the third row. The procedure shown at 5:40 lets you move the front seat forward so you can stow the second row. My mistake!
The second row seats can't be stowed in Pinnacle trim. The Pinnacle trim sacrifices this feature for more comfy second row seats, but you can still use the unused stow area in the floor for storage. Only the third row stows.
@Alexey Petrashkevich nah, more like "2026 Fiat 500 eHellcat Redeye Widebody." What's that, you ask? I can't say for sure, but I'm betting the motor is 5 electric motors ganged together. Why 5? Because that's how Chrysler put together an engine big enough to power their version of the M4 Sherman in WW2. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_A57_multibank Also, the first Hemi was built for aircraft. An inverted V16 they stuffed into a P-47 as a testbed. www.allpar.com/threads/the-xi-2220-hemi-v-16-first-chrysler-engine-with-a-hemi-head-design.229987/

As an 18 year old male, I'm still drooling over these. Imagine the road trips you could take in this thing, and the comfort with which you could do it!
Doug, the button for the front seats to move forward is not for leg room, it's to make clearance for the second row seats to rotate down into the floor. In lower trim versions you need to manually move them forward to get the needed clearance. Also, while they only work with the door open, they are also locked out even with the door open if the front seat weight sensors knows someone is sitting in them. Hope this helps.
These seats don't stow nor do the hybrid seats though but the limited and down pacifica's do still and that's what that purpose of sliding the front row forward is for to open up the floor to allow the seats to fold down into it
They are very important. driving experience. I feel that the Pacifica is so relaxing and soothing to drive it and super comfortable while driving it’s like sitting on your couch. While driving. And spacious.
The Pacifica is the best minivan on the market because the stow n go system lets you fold the second and third row into the floor. Every other minivan the seats either fold down or fold up but you don't get the full cargo space in the back like you do in the Pacifica. You can fit an entire sheet of sheetrock or plywood in the back when you use the stow and go. It's by far the best feature on a minivan because you can use every bit of space that you have behind the driver's seat. In other minivans you don't get that full space unless you remove the middle row and the seats weigh a lot and it's just a headache if you use your minivan to haul a lot of things around all the time and switch between passenger and cargo.
@@BIGGIEDEVIL Ok everyone I dont really care about ur opinion lol dont need 20 ppl replying to me yup and itd be a terrible idea, youd get horrible MPG for a car thats supposed to be family/road trip friendly and the maintenance would be too much for a busy family
@@megamachine7818 Umm. No, minivans are ment for hauling family's and other things, mpg is the last thing on their minds for the past 2 decades. Minivans usually average at around 18ish -21ish mpg.
I used to get excited about camaros & corvettes, now I get excited about caravans, I’m old. Btw, the excitement factor should be higher due to option for playing the license plate game.
I don't know what is considered a "Comfort factor". All I can say is that this one is 10/10. I drove from DC all the way down to Miami, not once, not twice, but three times over the last 2 years. All the three times I drove it in one shot, meaning, between 16 to18 hrs driving, with stops for picking up food and gas. All the times, other than mentally tired, my body was perfect, not tired, not with pain. If that's not 10 pts for comfort, I don't know what it is !!
Coming from a family of four kids, I loved our summer holidays in our Chrysler Voyager. My father drove 1000 km in a day. No troubles with us kids having our space and comfortable seats. And our Game Boy obviously. As a kid, I would prefer this Pacifica over any of the "trendy" but extremely bland crossovers we see on the road today
1000 km in a day, that's nothing, it's only a 10 to 12 hour drive, so a normal workday. On December 22, 2021, I drove from Chicago to Miami non stop, that's a distance of 2300 km, it took me 24 hours of non stop driving, only stopped for fuel and food. The furthest i ever drove non stop was from Chicago to Las Vegas in 2015, it took me 31 hours to drive the 2900 km.
@@AviationNut you are a powerful driver friend. But this is a comment about remembering a good memory of a family journey. It was not meant to brag. I hope you have a good day.
I remember our family's first minivan was the Town & Country (the name Chrysler used before they recycled Pacifica), and it was the '93-'94 model (at least, that's the year we got it). I remember being blown away with it having a digital dash at the time (it showed your MPG on the screen as a single number instead of having the usual gauge). It had passenger-controlled air settings. (So we'd always argue over who go to sit in that seat). I remember thinking how cool it was, even though in hindsight it was probably pretty standard for the day. (Also a few years into owning it, the digital dash completely shut down, luckily we were able to restart it). This is why I've always liked minivans, they usually seem to hide a lot of interesting features behind apparent simplicity.
5:40 that button is so you can use Stow&Go to fold the seats under the floor otherwise the headrests hit the front seats. Also at 8:30 that is the process for Stow&Go the lever on the top of the seat is the one for tilting it forward.
Glad someone said it because he clearly did not know what the real function of those buttons are. Not only that, but they do not function with the doors closed.
I anticipate a ton of these being bought by livery companies. These would make huge business sense. Think about it. $30,000 cheaper than a Suburban, but just as nice, opens it's own doors, and gets better fuel economy. Minivans are just now starting to cross into the realm of luxury that limo passengers demand, and I hope Chrysler remembered to include black over black as an optional color combo.
OMG I have watched 5000 Pacifica videos and you are literally the only one who touches on that third row. YOU ARE LOVED! May God bless you with health and good fortune!!
I was literally looking for a comment explaining that the button was for the stow and go seats. Having a dodge minivan I see myself continuously moving both front seats to use the stow and go storage.
literally bought a 2020 Subaru BRZ Last Saturday, and now am watching Doug's Minivan extravaganzas, looking at all the features people with kids lust after
No center seat in the 2nd row. We have two in car seats and my wife being able to sit between them is valuable. On our Odyssey you can remove the center seat and the move the outside seats towards the center if needed. Its about the only better feature of the Odyssey compared to this, but a deal breaker for me.
@@jackd8147 Oh, so you always say the long form of everything and never abbreviate or condense?

If you are a 90’s kid you grew up in a Chrysler minivan whether you know it or not. I was brought back from the hospital in one. They are the most comfortable vans in the world and also the BEST. We own an Odyssey, I’ve ridden in many Siennas, and I want to go back to Chrysler. I want one of these. I’ve ridden in every minivan in America. Forget the Odyssey, Sienna, and Sedona. Chrysler is still KING of the minivan. The Pacifica was the first hybrid minivan and the only luxury minivan on the market. Nothing else even comes close. It’s like a private jet for the road. Chrysler invented the minivan and they are STILL innovating till this day. Chrysler is a LEADER in the minivan segment. No other minivan has this kind of attention to detail. This is the only minivan I would be proud to own. Bye Odyssey, hello Chrysler. I missed you. The Chrysler minivan is the Swiss Army knife of vehicles. You can camp in it, sleep, have sex, do yoga, haul stuff, move stuff, and pretty much do anything with all that space. Thank you Doug for showing this gem to the world in a way ONLY you can. Thank you for giving Chrysler the respect it deserves! Pacifica is one sexy van. And that color? I’m in love with this minivan. SEXY AF! 😍
I used work at a car rental place and we had two of these vans. They where blacked out , but people always wanted them... had cool little easter eggs too like under the center console. There was a rubber tray that showed every caravan up the Pacifica..
Im a single man in his 20s and god damn i would love to have this thing to go on endless roadtrips with my dog and play playstation at rest stops in between lolol
5:22 that button isnt for more leg room for kids thats to give room to put the 2nd seats under the floor. Yes you can plug and xbox in but I wouldn't recommend bc the screen feels terrible for gaming. The only updates im seeing here from 2017 model is sunroof, more usb, the seats, an extra storage thing on center console for second row, updated screen ui for front, and awd.
From the website, it looks like the center console is only available in the Pinnacle. The standard trim levels still have the older center console design
Yes, having owned one, that was the only gripe I had was the the 2nd row seats wouldn’t stow without moving the front one all the way forward. Nice to see they made that a little easier
I have a 2019 Pacifica Limited that has most of the features this one does. I don't have the fam cam or the 360° camera, I also don't have AWD. Using the touchscreen to access the heated and vent controls isn't an issue. You make it sound so inconvenient but it's not, you're being a little dramatic there. I use my Pacifica as a Lyft driver and it's the best investment I've ever made. Holds up to 7 passengers, power is great, rides smooth, and the automatic sliding doors are a Lyft drivers best friend. This thing has made me a LOT of money.
Doug you didnt show the most important part of the van... The stow n go. I know you called the 3rd row stow n go but its not. My 97 honda odysse had folding 3rd row. The stow n go is chrysler patented 2nd row in floor and for that reason the other manufacturers aren't allowed to copy it. 2nd and 3rd row fold down seating are the #1 feature i look for in a minivan. Ps love the channel and i believe you to be a truly genuine guy.
Thanks for saying this..I thought I was the only one that missed it. He didn't show the quintessential 2nd row stow n go feature. That's really all I'm here for plus the newly added all wheel drive option..someone commented that this model (all wheel drive) doesn't have the 2nd row stow n go seats. Then I'll just go to the Toyota Sienna.
AWD does have 2nd row sto n go...except not the Pinnacle trim because the seats are extra thick and won't fit into the pockets in the floor. It will have the pockets in the floor for hiding kids toys or your chocolate you don't want to share. The hybrid model does not offer the 2nd row sto n go because the hybrid components are under the floor there. (3rd row seats do fold flat though.)
Doug, the buttons on the bottom that move the driver and passenger seats up are for better access to the stow&go storage in the floor behind those seats. That's why it only works when the sliding door is open because usually you're leaning into the van to access your stow&go. Often, the passenger and driver sit too far back for you to fully open the stow&go compartments. (From a long time Chrysler minivan owner)
It’s because the minivan buyer is the practical buyer. They recognize the utility of the minivan, the utilization of space, and how easy it is to get in and out. Therefore, in my opinion, practical buyers are typically the “nerds”. Nerds buy function over flash. With SUVs becoming trendy and more utility(go anywhere) in the late 90’s, minivans went out of style. And minivans have stayed out of style. However, I think that with Millennials getting older and having more kids, minivans becoming more luxurious, having better styling, and more people other than nerds getting into minivans; I think they’re starting to become more popular in the past few years. But I have a hard time seeing a mass exodus to minivans like in the late 80’s when SUV’s are still dominating. And the trendy/popular parents are sticking to high line SUVs. But I think with refined styling and a killer marketing campaign... they might take a bite out of large SUV sales. But I think it’s a hard sell to the trendy/popular parents when the rest of their friends are all buying high line SUVs. Again, I think it’ll have to take a killer marketing campaign with the perfect spokespeople to sell it.
@@toddpanzica8679 With AWD now on 2 minivans, they'll at least gain back part of the market share. Vans have much more interior space and practicality than SUVs, and AWD will give most of the off-road capability the average consumer is looking for.
Doug, while the low button on the B pillar will move the front seats up and give the middle passengers more room…it’s real purpose is to move the seats out of the way so that the middle row seats can be folded into the floor. Once folded down, you press the button again and it returns to precisely the same position.
“The hellcat caravan. When your kids soccer championship is on the line. Give them hell.” - this video is brought to you by Dodge Dodge, we give them hell.
I unapologetically love my mom's Pacifica (tho it's a 2019 model in the Limited Trim). It's very comfy, plenty of space, and the engine actually has a bit of pep considering it's lugging along a huge brick.
Ah Doug, the button for the front seats can't even be used if the sliding door is shut. That button primarily exists to provide enough of an opening to collapse the Stow-N-Go seats. Alternatively, since Chrysler seems to be the only manufacturer smart enough to realize being able to swing a passenger seat forward while it has the child seat latched into place, hitting the button also provides enough clearance to swing that seat forward. It's super useful. I use it all the time. And it cannot be activated while driving.
I can’t even imagine what Honda is gonna do when they fully redesign the Odyssey. Thing is gonna be so stuffed with features it’ll probably even come with kids
Hello Doug, I wanted to thank you for everything you do! I was able to catch up with your videos during countless sleepless nights while battling stress and the flu. Love watching your videos as they are informative and calming! Best wishes!
Because people are finally realizing that if you have to use three rows for passengers and cargo, the minivan is the best most economical option. Compare the price of a luxury minivan 50k vs a loaded Suburban 75k+
Doug is the type of guy who can get 500,000 views not for reviewing a minivan.. no, the man has mastered the high view count way of saying "THISSSSSS" - Legend.
@@vursuh It was an older model with the manually-folding seats. He was kneeling on the seat and reached over to pull up some sports equipment, and the seat flipped and pinned him between the seat and the tailgate. He managed to get to his cellphone and called 9-1-1, but the operator thought it was a prank and didn't send help. His father went looking for his van and found him hours later, by which time he had died of asphyxiation.
Doug, the button to move the driver and passenger seat forward from the 2nd row only works with the rear doors open. Not with doors closed and esp not with the van in motion. It's not for leg room... its for people with kids like me... i love this feature bc it makes loading and unloading kids in car seats in the 2nd and 3rd row so much easier!
5:38 Actually Doug that button exists mainly to move the seat forward so you can easily fold send row seat down. I had one of these before and it makes it convenient.
Dear Doug, those front seats move forward so you’ll be able to fold middle seats under the floor and have a complete flat back. The beauty of Chrysler minivans.
The button to move the front seat forward is to allow for more space to stow away the middle seats. They are also deactivated when driving. Also if you remove the floor mats in the middle row the seats should be able to fold into the floor.
I was just going to post the same thing. It's not a more legroom button. We love the stow and go on our town and Country, but manually moving each front passenger seat with their dedicated power seat controls is a bit annoying. I really like the idea of this single button on the new Pacifica's to move them forward and out of the way without even having to open the front doors. And then he flips the seats like he wants to get in the back row, but didn't put the head rest down. I'm sitting here laughing because he clearly doesn't understand the stow and go seating at all.
I bought the 2020 Pacifica S touring Plus. it has a lot of the luxury features but there a bunch of things I wish I had on mine, like the sun roof and the vacuum and the folding mirrors, the power third row and the usb C charge ports. I also really like the new rear tail lights and the AWD option would have been pretty cool. But I didn't have the extra 10K to spend on it.
Something I learned today: If you get the pinnacle hybrid. - you don’t get the stow and vac and the 3rd row is manual and not powered. I guess they wanted to save on power to get more mileage
Probably not... the vacuum cleaner canister is where the plug-in charger is stored and the 3rd row power seats add weight... and the hybrid GVWR would be too heavy with the battery and all the additional features. (which is why the hybrid isn't rated for towing either)
I think Doug did this van a disservice. I drove a Voyager last month when I had to move some stuff and I was impressed by the responsive power that it had. Plus it rode quite smooth to the point where I was going 70-90mph and had the urge to go even faster to see what it was capable of. Plus it looks way better than the out dated style of the Doge Grand Caravan.
5:25 that button is to move the front seat out of the way so you can open up the panel in the floor to stow the 2nd row seats and to have room so the headrest doesn't hit the front seats, as you showed at 8:40
Quick correction at 8:20 with the seats - the lever on the backrest will move the seat forward so you can access the third row. The procedure shown at 5:40 lets you move the front seat forward so you can stow the second row. My mistake!
Haha Doug great!

The second row seats can't be stowed in Pinnacle trim. The Pinnacle trim sacrifices this feature for more comfy second row seats, but you can still use the unused stow area in the floor for storage. Only the third row stows.

The Pacifica is the best minivan on the market because the stow n go system lets you fold the second and third row into the floor. Every other minivan the seats either fold down or fold up but you don't get the full cargo space in the back like you do in the Pacifica. You can fit an entire sheet of sheetrock or plywood in the back when you use the stow and go. It's by far the best feature on a minivan because you can use every bit of space that you have behind the driver's seat.
In other minivans you don't get that full space unless you remove the middle row and the seats weigh a lot and it's just a headache if you use your minivan to haul a lot of things around all the time and switch between passenger and cargo.

As a kid, I would prefer this Pacifica over any of the "trendy" but extremely bland crossovers we see on the road today
1000 km in a day, that's nothing, it's only a 10 to 12 hour drive, so a normal workday. On December 22, 2021, I drove from Chicago to Miami non stop, that's a distance of 2300 km, it took me 24 hours of non stop driving, only stopped for fuel and food. The furthest i ever drove non stop was from Chicago to Las Vegas in 2015, it took me 31 hours to drive the 2900 km.

Supercar reviews are boring imo. Especially the McLaren ones.
I don't think people realize how cool mini vans are in terms of all the cool features
I remember our family's first minivan was the Town & Country (the name Chrysler used before they recycled Pacifica), and it was the '93-'94 model (at least, that's the year we got it). I remember being blown away with it having a digital dash at the time (it showed your MPG on the screen as a single number instead of having the usual gauge). It had passenger-controlled air settings. (So we'd always argue over who go to sit in that seat). I remember thinking how cool it was, even though in hindsight it was probably pretty standard for the day. (Also a few years into owning it, the digital dash completely shut down, luckily we were able to restart it).
This is why I've always liked minivans, they usually seem to hide a lot of interesting features behind apparent simplicity.

5:40 that button is so you can use Stow&Go to fold the seats under the floor otherwise the headrests hit the front seats. Also at 8:30 that is the process for Stow&Go the lever on the top of the seat is the one for tilting it forward.

I anticipate a ton of these being bought by livery companies. These would make huge business sense. Think about it. $30,000 cheaper than a Suburban, but just as nice, opens it's own doors, and gets better fuel economy. Minivans are just now starting to cross into the realm of luxury that limo passengers demand, and I hope Chrysler remembered to include black over black as an optional color combo.

No center seat in the 2nd row. We have two in car seats and my wife being able to sit between them is valuable. On our Odyssey you can remove the center seat and the move the outside seats towards the center if needed.

If you are a 90’s kid you grew up in a Chrysler minivan whether you know it or not. I was brought back from the hospital in one. They are the most comfortable vans in the world and also the BEST. We own an Odyssey, I’ve ridden in many Siennas, and I want to go back to Chrysler. I want one of these. I’ve ridden in every minivan in America. Forget the Odyssey, Sienna, and Sedona. Chrysler is still KING of the minivan. The Pacifica was the first hybrid minivan and the only luxury minivan on the market. Nothing else even comes close. It’s like a private jet for the road. Chrysler invented the minivan and they are STILL innovating till this day. Chrysler is a LEADER in the minivan segment. No other minivan has this kind of attention to detail. This is the only minivan I would be proud to own. Bye Odyssey, hello Chrysler. I missed you. The Chrysler minivan is the Swiss Army knife of vehicles. You can camp in it, sleep, have sex, do yoga, haul stuff, move stuff, and pretty much do anything with all that space. Thank you Doug for showing this gem to the world in a way ONLY you can. Thank you for giving Chrysler the respect it deserves! Pacifica is one sexy van. And that color? I’m in love with this minivan. SEXY AF! 😍
Dude calm down. Take a cold shower. It's not that big a deal...
I like how u summarized this van
I used work at a car rental place and we had two of these vans. They where blacked out , but people always wanted them... had cool little easter eggs too like under the center console. There was a rubber tray that showed every caravan up the Pacifica..

Using the touchscreen to access the heated and vent controls isn't an issue. You make it sound so inconvenient but it's not, you're being a little dramatic there. I use my Pacifica as a Lyft driver and it's the best investment I've ever made. Holds up to 7 passengers, power is great, rides smooth, and the automatic sliding doors are a Lyft drivers best friend. This thing has made me a LOT of money.
Pacifica's are the wave.

@@angusbeefsupreme8927 I have a chrysler town and country, 180,000 miles, no issues, just maintenance.
Doug you didnt show the most important part of the van... The stow n go. I know you called the 3rd row stow n go but its not. My 97 honda odysse had folding 3rd row. The stow n go is chrysler patented 2nd row in floor and for that reason the other manufacturers aren't allowed to copy it. 2nd and 3rd row fold down seating are the #1 feature i look for in a minivan.
Ps love the channel and i believe you to be a truly genuine guy.
I don’t think the AWD models don’t have Stow N Go due to the additional drive components for the rear wheels.
Yes he did at 12:18
Thanks for saying this..I thought I was the only one that missed it. He didn't show the quintessential 2nd row stow n go feature. That's really all I'm here for plus the newly added all wheel drive option..someone commented that this model (all wheel drive) doesn't have the 2nd row stow n go seats. Then I'll just go to the Toyota Sienna.
AWD does have 2nd row sto n go...except not the Pinnacle trim because the seats are extra thick and won't fit into the pockets in the floor. It will have the pockets in the floor for hiding kids toys or your chocolate you don't want to share.
The hybrid model does not offer the 2nd row sto n go because the hybrid components are under the floor there. (3rd row seats do fold flat though.)

Doug, the buttons on the bottom that move the driver and passenger seats up are for better access to the stow&go storage in the floor behind those seats.
That's why it only works when the sliding door is open because usually you're leaning into the van to access your stow&go. Often, the passenger and driver sit too far back for you to fully open the stow&go compartments.
(From a long time Chrysler minivan owner)
10:54 Doug called a baby child “it” lol
Woke Doug confirmed.
I’m just waiting for all the pronoun people to get mad at this comment 😂
I literally was about to comment that! 😂😂😂. Too funny.
I still don't understand why so many people are too insecure to drive a minivan.
It’s because the minivan buyer is the practical buyer. They recognize the utility of the minivan, the utilization of space, and how easy it is to get in and out. Therefore, in my opinion, practical buyers are typically the “nerds”.
Nerds buy function over flash. With SUVs becoming trendy and more utility(go anywhere) in the late 90’s, minivans went out of style. And minivans have stayed out of style. However, I think that with Millennials getting older and having more kids, minivans becoming more luxurious, having better styling, and more people other than nerds getting into minivans; I think they’re starting to become more popular in the past few years.
But I have a hard time seeing a mass exodus to minivans like in the late 80’s when SUV’s are still dominating. And the trendy/popular parents are sticking to high line SUVs. But I think with refined styling and a killer marketing campaign... they might take a bite out of large SUV sales. But I think it’s a hard sell to the trendy/popular parents when the rest of their friends are all buying high line SUVs. Again, I think it’ll have to take a killer marketing campaign with the perfect spokespeople to sell it.
@@toddpanzica8679 With AWD now on 2 minivans, they'll at least gain back part of the market share. Vans have much more interior space and practicality than SUVs, and AWD will give most of the off-road capability the average consumer is looking for.

Doug, while the low button on the B pillar will move the front seats up and give the middle passengers more room…it’s real purpose is to move the seats out of the way so that the middle row seats can be folded into the floor. Once folded down, you press the button again and it returns to precisely the same position.

Ah Doug, the button for the front seats can't even be used if the sliding door is shut.
That button primarily exists to provide enough of an opening to collapse the Stow-N-Go seats. Alternatively, since Chrysler seems to be the only manufacturer smart enough to realize being able to swing a passenger seat forward while it has the child seat latched into place, hitting the button also provides enough clearance to swing that seat forward.
It's super useful. I use it all the time. And it cannot be activated while driving.

Doug, the button to move the driver and passenger seat forward from the 2nd row only works with the rear doors open. Not with doors closed and esp not with the van in motion.

Also, those buttons will help you fold up those 2nd row seats
5:38 Actually Doug that button exists mainly to move the seat forward so you can easily fold send row seat down. I had one of these before and it makes it convenient.
Yes, this. Big fail that he missed that lol.
Dear Doug, those front seats move forward so you’ll be able to fold middle seats under the floor and have a complete flat back. The beauty of Chrysler minivans.
6:00 - The seats move forwards for the Stow N Go feature so its easier to put them down.
🍅🎀
Forget families, this would make a great luxury road-tripper or party van with the homies
Hippie van haha
Ye, why make a family whe you have homies
The button to move the front seat forward is to allow for more space to stow away the middle seats. They are also deactivated when driving.
Also if you remove the floor mats in the middle row the seats should be able to fold into the floor.
I’m so surprised he didn’t figure this out. When it’s not being used to store the seats, It can also just be used as regular floorboard storage
I was just going to post the same thing. It's not a more legroom button. We love the stow and go on our town and Country, but manually moving each front passenger seat with their dedicated power seat controls is a bit annoying. I really like the idea of this single button on the new Pacifica's to move them forward and out of the way without even having to open the front doors.
And then he flips the seats like he wants to get in the back row, but didn't put the head rest down. I'm sitting here laughing because he clearly doesn't understand the stow and go seating at all.
Stow and go in front of the second row seats is not available in the pinnacle trim level
Apparently the seats have thicker padding and cannot fit into the floor
@@cliftontrain9304 still, it can be used as storage, and Doug got the usage of the button wrong
Doug, the front seats move forward to allow Stow-n-Go of the 2nd row seats into the floor
I bought the 2020 Pacifica S touring Plus. it has a lot of the luxury features but there a bunch of things I wish I had on mine, like the sun roof and the vacuum and the folding mirrors, the power third row and the usb C charge ports. I also really like the new rear tail lights and the AWD option would have been pretty cool. But I didn't have the extra 10K to spend on it.
Something I learned today:
If you get the pinnacle hybrid. - you don’t get the stow and vac and the 3rd row is manual and not powered.
I guess they wanted to save on power to get more mileage
Probably not... the vacuum cleaner canister is where the plug-in charger is stored and the 3rd row power seats add weight... and the hybrid GVWR would be too heavy with the battery and all the additional features. (which is why the hybrid isn't rated for towing either)
That automatic door slide for the foot is pretty cool.
Probably won't work of it covered in snow

@@BIGGIEDEVIL Alot of shyt doesn't work covered in snow. Like windshield wipers. Crazy right!
I think Doug did this van a disservice. I drove a Voyager last month when I had to move some stuff and I was impressed by the responsive power that it had. Plus it rode quite smooth to the point where I was going 70-90mph and had the urge to go even faster to see what it was capable of. Plus it looks way better than the out dated style of the Doge Grand Caravan.

Doug giving the family prayer at Thanksgiving: "Before we begin, be sure to check out CARS AND BIDS!"
5:25 that button is to move the front seat out of the way so you can open up the panel in the floor to stow the 2nd row seats and to have room so the headrest doesn't hit the front seats, as you showed at 8:40
