The dual TVs were still there in the 2011 I think. If not then it can still be put in. My moms originally had just a black tv but then they replaced that with a tan matching one and they added the rear one too.
i have the 2012 routan, which is a more polished facelifted volkswagen variant of this van with all leather interior and buffed suspension. it drives so well for such a huge vehicle.
Sandmanfan I got mine with the optional flux capacitor. It’s a pain to fuel but it get’s me where I need to go. Still watching ebay for a good used Mr. Fusion...
this is the first time I've seen anything about the swivel seat! I love that! I understand they cannot be stowed, I guess we can't have everything 😁 , but I was curious about the set up in this video - was the other seat removed for filming or is the other seat stowable?
@@fergie1926 my van 2008 has 246k just updated the fuel injectors and abs this year but besides this all normal regular care. .. best used van, i got the leather entertainment swivel n go model but no powered 3rd row ... that was new after watching this. im considering 2021 expedition max.
I wish some one would give a review on the maintenance of the van, telling about problems in certain years. Instead of trying to sell them. 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016
I currently have two have had them for years had 4 of the older body style they all eat brakes don’t care what kind you buy outside of that zero complaints
terrance sneed well not really I bought used obviously so I so far put alternator and that’s it and I did it myself it’s so accessible great ride cool look kids love watching the cartoons in the back way more then enough room all the seats are great I rode in the back as well great ride mine didn’t have the table with it tho lol I’ve so far tented the windows and blacked out my wheels I have the silver one you should get it definitely
Have you ever figured out how to remove the swivel and go seats from your Dodge Grand caravan and if so can you please tell me in detail because nobody knows
Those swivel seats makes this van like a limousine, if they make them that way, people would have bought it and use it on Lyft and Uber and make lots of money driving that thing.
@@mikehurt3290 You overpaid. A decade-old minivan is not worth $10,000 unless it has only around 30,000 miles on it. The only people that would even try to sell it for that much would be a used car dealer that would be taking advantage of a naive and uneducated buyer. Sorry for the bad news. Did you even shop around? A quick on craigslist will show that they can be easily bought for half of that.
@@RobertJohnson-th2yf we don't have enough money to buy from private seller and bad credit so cant get loan sadly our only option is buy here pay here dealerships, the van broke down a bunch the first week so they returned it and we got a differnt car
@@mikehurt3290 Sorry to hear that you didn't have enough money to buy with cash. When you finance, you then get caught in a vicious cycle of poverty. You have to finance, and that's very, very bad. The car dealers know that you don't have any other choice so they charge much more than the car is worth. The interest rates are probably not good either. So, by not paying cash, you end up paying about twice the price when you include the interest, loan origination fees, etc. etc. Then in a few years, you again won't have enough money saved to buy with cash, because you have been paying off an overpriced vehicle for the past few years. You have two choices, continue to get taken advantage of financially and give your money to used car dealers or straighten out your life and get your finances in order. Save your money, cut expenses, learn to do without. I don't know you, obviously, but I can take a guess how you live your life...don't think long term, impulse buying, buying based on emotion not logic, want instant gratification, etc. Don't take it personally, a lot of people were never taught to act differently. Oh, why did I make these conclusions? Well, the fact that you bought a top of the line, most luxurious, most bells and whistles, Limited Edition minivan...when you don't have the cash to even pay for it. Do you also get the latest smartphone and finance that instead of paying cash and actually buying it too? You should be saving up and buying a basic, entry level, nothing fancy minivan with cash. It won't be pretty and it won't be enjoyable but that's what you need to do. Good luck and I hope that you end your cycle of poverty.
they are and arent i hate the second row in my van and it would have been cheaper to get 4.0 v6 in the chrysler but we have the 3.8 and its not as exciting {mines a 2010}
@minivanman1356 ...they my act ike its somethin new but Chrysler does not act lik its something new cus i own a Chrysler Minivan year 2001 and has power Hatch nd sliders
Yep we had a 2002 Dodge grand caravan. We drove it once for seven hours on the highway without even stopping! The car was packed with stuff from inside, rear and roof. It's amazing how it went on and on.
Why no cabin filters in these vans. Very hard on asthmatics and emphysema patients to breath in the moldy dash air or any human for that matter. Could have made that easy to just switch out the $10 replacement. Not healthy!!
Can you elaborate? Do other cars have that?I'm not familiar with this, but I do have breathing issues so I would be curious since I'm considering buying a T&C
Linda Sue that’s on you. not the car. i bought my 2014 town & country brand new in 2013 and the air smells normal in it. not sure why you think the car has some moldy a/c 😂
Palit Weboonlit both these engine are very reliable probably why they kept them so long. On the forums the 3.3 and 3.8 having 200-300k miles is not uncommon. My van has the 3.3 has 161k miles and i daily drive it 👍 still gets 24mpgs on the hwy too.
These vehicles are junk 😑 they All have electrical issues. If you change the battery just light it on fire. And watch it burn. You'll be glad you did. Save A LOT $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$+$
This was ahead of its time
wtf- that table is like the coolest thing ever. Can't imagine why it failed? Esp with the dual TVs!
The dual TVs were still there in the 2011 I think.
If not then it can still be put in. My moms originally had just a black tv but then they replaced that with a tan matching one and they added the rear one too.
Probably cost-cutting as well as a lack of demand.
My family had the van with the table and it was really awesome. Now we have a 2015 and it still has the dual TVs at least
The new EV9 has it in every country except US. I wonder if there's some brand new regulation here that didn't exist in 2010
The removal of the Column Shifter is really the only thing I wish they didn’t do here. Removes the truck like fun muscle memory shifter.

Didn't get a chance to drive a 2008-2010, but the 2011 truly makes you question how one can design such a large vehicle to drive so well.
That Neutron Dimensionalizor does some cool shit.

Both seats swivel and the back seats are stowable!!!
We just bought a 2009 4.0 Limited and we love it best car we ever bought has more features than our friends 2016 kia just for $10,000
Do you have swivel seats?
That Swivel seat wasn't popular and they ended it in just a couple years. It couldn't go in the floor.
wiibaron The Swivel N’ Go models were more dedicated to normal families without too many or heavy materials.
This video is the first time I've seen it, and I love the idea! I'm hoping I can find a used model locally!
Linda Sue the 2008-2010 models are TRASH and super unreliable.. don’t get those. the 2014-2016 is the best year model

My dream van is the 1990 chrysler town and country!

A daytona that could haul the family.
I think that dodge should get into the camper vans line up because that's where the van life is going now
Holy crap I like this Chrysler town and country van
2019 I love it still a great vehicle
Any issues? I'm considering buying one
terrance sneed well not really I bought used obviously so I so far put alternator and that’s it and I did it myself it’s so accessible great ride cool look kids love watching the cartoons in the back way more then enough room all the seats are great I rode in the back as well great ride mine didn’t have the table with it tho lol I’ve so far tented the windows and blacked out my wheels I have the silver one you should get it definitely
My favorite van..

Was hoping they would show the removal of the swivel seats. If anyone has a link to the removal of the swivel seats, please respond.

My 2017 Terrain with the optional V6 puts out 301 hp which is quite good for the car.
C-Man-The-Beast Yoyre comparing engines from cars nearly A FULL DECADE apart? Stupid.
No terrain comes with 301 hp
and my 2014 town & country has 283 horsepower but i usually put a performance chip in mine and i get 343 horsepower ;)
@@aayonce4 Look it up, the standard 4 cylinder has like 180 go and the optional v6 has 301.

@@RobertJohnson-th2yf I wonder what makes you assume, that people come for here for your lectures ?
Its so weird that it has 3 differnt v6 options.
How do you get the front seat up enough to fold second row seat down
Slide the seats all the way forward in the first row
2008? This feels like 1988.

these are super unreliable. the 2008-2010 models are even worse. imo the 2014-2016 is the most reliable
