- This is rental car number 150 and today I'm driving the 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT.
There's more details below, but I just wanted to quickly say ~thank you~ for watching my video. Please comment below and share your thoughts. Or just take a second and say 'Hey'. I'd love to hear from you. Cheers!

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Let's start with the basics:
Type: Minivan
Year: 2019
Make: Dodge
Model: Grandcaravan
Trim: SXT
Exterior Paint: Granite Pearl
Interior: Black with Premium Seat with Suede Inserts
Wheels: 17-inch Aluminum Wheels
MSRP: $27,800
$28,000 is a great price, but if you like the latest technology in your vehicles, you should consider spending $2,000 to $3,000 more to upgrade to the Honda Odyssey (starting MSRP: $31,000) or the Kia Sedona (starting MSRP: at $30,000). Both drive just as nicely as the Dodge Grand Caravan and have much, much more updated interiors.
SPECS:
Engine: 3.6L V6 24-Valve VVT Egine
Transmission: 6-Speed Automatic Transmission
Horsepower: 283 hp
Fuel Type: Regular Unleaded
MPG City: 17
MPG Highway: 25
Combined MPG:
Fuel Cap Location: Driver's side
Towing Capacity: 3,600 lbs
Handling:
Turning at slow speeds: Great! Drives just like a sedan. Parking the Grand Carvan at low speeds is a breeze.
Turning at high speeds: Also great! I felt super comfortable going around curves at 40+ mph. In fact, this minivan hugs the road so well that I found myself driving much more aggressively than in my own minivan (I drive a Kia Sedona)
Acceleration:
From a stop: Decent. The V6 performs well, but you certainly won't be the quickest vehicle on the road.
While moving: No great. It takes one or two full seconds before the engine will provide you with acceleration. This is comparable to most vehicles at this price point.
Cabin Noise: Meh, not great. Expect to have to increase the volume on your music/podcast/audiobook when driving at higher speeds.

Hi Everyone! Hope you're all safe and well. I know the Grand Caravan isn't the sexist vehicle out there...but there's still a lot of good things to talk about. I especially love the stow and go seats (I wish I had them on my minivan). Anyway, I hope you enjoy the review. And let me know what you think of the new transitions and sound effects. I've been working on my video editing skills lately so I'd love from constructive feedback. Thanks!
I love the new editing, it looks super professional without being over done!😸😻😸
That car is incredible
283 hp - not 383
You have a beautiful van❤️
Hi
Minivans are the ultimate road trip vehicles
sure are
Especially the Grand Caravan
Yessss!
@@e70_x5_guy4 Point blank period Especially with that amazing Pentastar V6
@@MiggyCR yep!
Stow and Go is the only reason I would buy a dodge/Chrysler minivan.
Only reason? What about the incredibly spacious interior, slick body design, and a good, strong gas mileage motor? The Dodge/Chrysler minivans are fantastic all the way around.
@@ComedyBros511 cup holders. (Mic drop)
@@StrictlyService905 YES! That's the most underrated part about these vans...who needs to get 2 or 3 of those cardboard cup holders for large orders when you got 11 of them built into your car?!
The Honda and Toyota minivans are going for a lot more now, its super hard to get your hands on them to, every time we are interested its sold before we can even look at it.
Best family car ever built! We love ours!
I'm glad your still doing reviews. Your so relaxing to listen to which allows me to follow along. Please keep up the great work 👍🏼
Yeah he has a pleasant voice. I told him months ago he should narrate audio books.
Thank you for this review. It actually helped us decide to purchase one just the other day. Great van!
We have a 2018 we bought from Hertz for $21k with 24k miles. 80k miles on it now. All good. Hauls 5 grandchildren then a stack of 4x8' plywood sheets then does a 3-day road trip. Gets 29 mpg highway and 20 around town. The 3.6 vvt has more than enough power. Comfortable. Only maintenance item was failed right side passenger door lock actuator. Engine and transmission have not great reputations, but ours is fine...knock on wood. Loses zero oil, zero coolant. Original tires, brakes.
Nice minivan I am single and can use it on a long road trip to haul and sleep in the van. It drives like a limo compared to my 18 year old Pontiac Montana with only 62000 miles. I am happy.
Love this thank you just bought one for 24k & named it Van - can’t wait to take it camping ❤️
You rivew every car so good i love this dodge grand caravan!
This is very master class in-depth review💯👍
Thank you Frank!
I just purchased the same van today! It is AWSOME!!
Howdy, awesome review as always! I’d go for the Sedona for a minivan! I’m super glad you’re back!😸😻😸
Fantastic review! When buying these vans, I recommend going with the trim level just above the SXT...the Crew. While the RT is the cream of the crop, it does come with a pretty big price tag compared to the SXT. The Crew comes with a few nice upgrades from the SXT, and they're not really all that much more expensive!
Also, on the MPG, it's all in what you feed the van. Yes, it's "flex" fuel. However, I only put in 89 octane fuel in my van. I've been getting 20/21mpg town, and 28mpg on the highway. 18gal tank, and I'm able to go 400 miles on the highway without needing to refuel! The spacious interior is perfect for a family, and it's honestly one of the smoothest riding cars I've ever driven.
I should note that this is for a 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan Crew. Bought it in 2014 with 50k miles on it. It now has 106k miles, and shows no signs of slowing down. Only had to replace some speed and tire pressure sensors!
But watching this review, I don't see many differences!
I enjoy your channel. You helped me pick my car. I have a 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT
🤮🤮
I like this new style of video!
Rental car companies are sure gonna miss this vehicle
We bought a used rental 2019 GT model. It has some extra toys over the SXT. Love the fold into floor seats. I can get several 4x8 plywood sheets into it and still close the rear hatch. The middle row buckets do side back for more comfortable amount of leg room as well as fully recline if you need a nap. We took out the rear bench seats for an enormous amount of extra baggage space where the seats would've folded into the floor. The middle row seat in floor wells are also great as out of sight storage bins. MPG is really good if you keep your foot out of hard acceleration. I keep the front tires 2 lb above pressure. Consistently getting 29+ MPG hwy and 22+ city. The Pentastar V6 is a Mercedes-Benz design. My other car is a 2012 Mercedes C350 and the engines are very similar. I don't use the ECO mode button. It makes the transmission shift up at lower RPM which really makes it a slow dog off the line in city driving. On the highway ECO mode slows downshifting when you want to pass so I really never use it. I really like this van. it's so much better than their earlier generations. Too bad they stopped making them as they are the perfect family wagon and a more efficient van for trades people than a pickup. One hint, change oil and filter before recommended interval and have the transmission fluid and filter done every two years.
Good job on the review thank you sir. I agree with your rating. Again thanks.
Nice and detailed review 👌 man loved it
My 2017 grand Caravan GT now has 60,000kms, only issues I've encountered was the front HVAC blower failing, replaced under warranty and took 30mins, and now my left rear brake calliper is starting to stick, resulting in light premature wear. Best fuel economy I've gotten on the highway was 7.5L/100km (about 31mpg, on a road trip/@110kmh). My two kids love the DVD player, built in window shades and their own heated seats. I've hauled big bulky items inside with the seat down such as; a storage shed from Costco, pallets, a whole couch and a crazy amount of lumber and even a 12ft roll of linoleum flooring(from windshield to tailgate) all with being able to close the tailgate. Cabin noise seems to be better when the van comes with the Michelin tires, as opposed to the shitty Yokohama's that comes with the lower trims (I've had a 2015 SXT premium but unfortunately got into a wreck). The power sliding doors can occasionally be stuck during our harsh winters in northern Canada but you just have to let the car warm up to operating temperature and it will be fine, it is to be expected with any van when we have 11-12ft of accumulated snow and -48C temperatures lol, the Caravan will start up fine when it's that cold. Also, the heated steering wheel and heated front seats is a life saver.
I have the 2014 SXT (20th Anniversary trim?), and you are right about the calipers! My left hand side one quit at about 60,000kms, and I had to have both rear ones replaced. It took the dealer 1 week for some reason. I picked the car up, drove straight to the store, and the vehicle wouldn't start. I had the car towed back and had to get a ride after waiting with family at minus 14 Celsius! The dealer insisted that the accompanying "no fuse" message meant the battery needed replacement....The factory issue Yokohama tires are fairly quiet and smooth but shockingly dangerous in even the lightest snow. The set I had was rated "all season", but that was grossly misleading. They are to be replaced at the earliest opportunity. We are meticulous in maintenance/care, but the seat adjustment controls panel repeatedly came off and broke off eventually! Meantime, the driver's side leatherette seat and hand rest ripped prematurely (2 years), but was replaced on warranty..I REALLY want to love this vehicle because it is great conceptually and feels very secure especially at highway speeds. The quality worries me all the time though!
Great review of the Caravan! I rented one to take to a cottage and its very roomy. I'm considering purchasing one in the future for road trips! 😊
Great video very informative
Thanks 🙏🏽For the Review, I Really Like This Minivan. Shalom 🙏🏽
you forgot that the mirror has mic's on it for the phone system and auto-dimms when the dash light sensor thinks it is dark or night so that hi-beams in the rear don't blind you. both are great features.
a/c knob is also button to turn ON the a/c, and the fan knob is also a button to turn on fresh/recirc functions. leave the traction control on at all times as the thing is powerful enough that on wet pave the front will slip under even slight acceleration. i agree...4 stars. i plan to drive mine for another 4 years and then upgrade to a pacifica if they are making them good enough.
Great review
We drove around in Canada with this thing. It was really weird how much space there was in the trunk. We didn't need to pack our bags vertically and the music sounded like it came from far away. It really made me fall in love with big cars and this one specifically. Always weird when I see one in Europe (here they're called Lancia Voyager) because I associate them with the easy and wide roads of North America.
You also like the cars but then you use the word "weird"....
Drove one as a rental all the way back from tallahassee, FL to Louisville, KY. Im only in college and driving it made me want to fast forward to the minivan stage of life. I want one bad
Yeah the Dodge Caravan is an older design and will be discontinued but I think one of it's best features is the stow and go seating. Some of the newer minivans don't have this feature even. I think a couple of them, you can't even remove all the rear seats. I had an old 1985 Plymouth Voyager. The seats didn't stow, but they could be removed to give an entirely flat floor. I had the seven seat option and that rear 3 passenger seat was heavy to remove. Like 80 lbs. I used to just leave it out unless I needed it. I wouldn't but a new minivan if ALL of the rear seats couldn't be folded flat or at least removed. Kind of kills the utility and defeats the purpose of getting a van over an SUV IMO.
My SXT has a lot more on it. LCD on the climate control, 110v behind the driver's seat, DVD with screens for middle and rear seat. I've turned it into a road trip machine. Full luggage rack, all terrain tires, tow pkg equipment.
awesome review
Thanks!
this was the first car ive ever driven and it was so fun having so many people in the car😁
I mean i have a 2016 dodge grand caravan and its not sxt or gt or anything like that but mine is great so i love the dodge grand caravan!🚐 and sir you reviewed the minivan great good job!👏
Thanks for video 🙂👍
You had my attention when you said 383 horsepower....... but then I realized it was a mistake lol.
i think the 3.6L is what, maybe 250HP? less?
@@ruby2thursday 283 hp 260 lb ft
I have the 2009 dodge grand caravan sxt and I love it. Lol it fancy enough but either way maybe one day I can upgrade to the new one. Only thing is I don't have the center console or the backup camera. But that's ok for now. Thanks for showing the 2019 it's wow 😲
School districts where I live buy these to transport students from areas that have tight roads that make getting full size buses around to difficult. They run up up crazy high miles on them, sometimes close to 300,000 miles on them and the guys who maintain them for the school district say they give good service and they must because they have been using them for years. Of course they really maintain them.
Helpful! Thanks!
Nice job. I just bought a Caravan.
The middle seats in the rear do go forward and backwards just like the front seats. There is a lever below.
nice review
Loved my 2017 Kia Sedona. If I ever do the uber gig, or needed a mobile office then a mini van is king. Now driving a Nissan Titan but could see a Dodge or Kia in my future. Hondas odyssey are nice on retaining value, so buy used to help with depreciation. The flip a coin.
We in Iraq are fans of this car. I hope you will continue to make these interesting videos and that the translation into Arabic is clear as well as slow so that we can understand the report you are preparing well. I wish you success
Love the reviews but I want to address the elephant in the room. There's snow outside in August? 😂 I know it's old footage just picking, hope all is well up in your area and can't wait for another review!
My wife makes fun of me because I genuinely want one of these and we only have one kid. I have a Hyundai Elantra and before that I had a Ford F-150 Lariat. I love having a vehicle that has tons of space for passengers. I also like being able to have a lot of room to stow stuff for home improvement trips. But I love my mpg of my car over my old truck. I feel like a minivan is a great upgrade for future road-trips and when people visit/stay with us.
Break up with her u already fucked her and gave her a kid
@@DKISTIC_ she gave me a kid, bud. What in this makes you think we would “break up”? Because she doesn’t want a minivan?
Really like this van for its space. I would recommend to change the oil every 6 months and change the transition oil too. Hopefully these cars could last a little bit longer if you do so. My dad had one of these older models but it broke down because of a design flaw in the oil pump
Im experiencing those same issues 😢
@@threat645 is the oil lamp on? Old oil filter? if not then it could be a clogged oil intake or the oil pump has problems. First thing i would do change oil filter and check if oil lamp still on. if oil lamp still on the second thing i would do is to remove the oil pan and check if the oil intake is clogged up, if so just clean it and check for metal shavings because that is something you don't want to see. if that does not help it could be the pump. I had a toyota with a clogged oil intake. i cleaned it and there was no oil lamp or problems after that.
The last of its kind... RIP to the Dodge Grand Caravan. :(
BTW, congrats on #150!!! Here's to #200!!! :)
1984-2020
@@MiggyCR Yup. Although it's also worth mentioning that Chrysler will use the name on lower trim levels of the Pacifica in Canada (that's right: the Chrysler Grand Caravan). Here it's called the Voyager.
@@jeepguy95 I know honestly it's degrading the Grand Caravan name but if I were to get one I would probably Swap all the Chrysler logos out with Dodge logos and probably swap steering wheel to with a charger one and I'm from Canada when I heard that I was so upset the reason they're keeping the Grand Caravan name is because the Grand Caravan in the Dodge Journey or one of the best sellers in Canada but there on the number one charts too bad the journeys discontinued to it's literally my dream car for some reason
@@MiggyCR Honestly I like the Pacifica/Voyager/(Chrysler) Grand Caravan. It's the best minivan on the market, both in terms of looks and features.
I really love these minivans and I want one of these Dodge Grand Caravan/Chrysler Town and Country/Volkswagen Routan for my first car.
Wow I like it, I own this same Year Model and same Color, This is the same exact Van I have. Great, but only use more fuel than my Ford Fusion 2016 I just traded in for this van.
I needed this Van because my Three Children are growing and need more space as we drive to Northern California a lot and on to Roseburg, Oregon on a regular basis to visit Family from the Bay Area where we live in the Silicon Valley.
I'm glad that I bought this Van, The Toyotas was also great, but lack the Sto-en-go Seating in the floor.
1:11 He meant to say 283
The best way to get these vans is rental fleet GT or SXT with 30-45k miles. They sell regularly in the 16k-20K range. Tack on a warranty to 100K miles for about 2k if you have any misgivings, and for about 18-19k total you can have a low mile van with lots of options and the awesome stow-n-go convenience along with a warranty, or roll the dice and get one for 16-18k without a warranty. Move fast though, the fleet vehicles are drying up and they don't make these anymore. The Pacifica is a lot more expensive and has lower ground clearance, and the Sedona besides not having stow-n-go is being redesigned and the base models will be north of 30K.
I bought the Dodge Caravan SXT, 2019 from a rental inventory. Actually a very pleasant ride. What I wasn't told by the dealer was that there was no replacement tire installed. So I'm looking if something can still be installed afterward.
Just open one of those bins in the back and put a tire in it. If it’ll fit a seat it’ll fit a tire. Just move it when you need the stowage room.
We have a 2019 GC, and I did some research, and ordered all of the parts to install the factory tire kit, took about an hour to install, and final cost buying the parts online, and then ordering the compact spare tire itself from Discount Tire, was pretty close to $1000.00. My wife was not going for me throwing the spare and it's tools into the space behind the rear seat. The price does include all of the factory tire changing tools as well, all new from Chrysler.
Great video. Can you please tell us if it's possible to remove the center console? Thanks
You called the power outlets cupholders 10:03
Гарний огляд.
Дякую.
Just stumbled upon ur channel and subscribed. do all grand caravans have built in navigation? im renting one soon and itll be a life saver
At 3:00 you mention that accelerating quickly from a 40mph coast is the weak point. I agree, I have a 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan with the 3.6V6, but my SXT has manual mode, accessible through the gear shifter.
By shifting into Drive and then pulling the gear shifter left you enter manual mode, where you set the maximum gear the car can shift into by pulling it to the left and right for lower and higher gears, respectively. Very helpful if you're cruising in 6th gear and would like to quickly get access to all that torque you have in 4th gear.
In automatic, going from 40 to 60 feels sluggish, but in manual mode I'm often going faster than I meant to be in a shorter amount of time than I thought it would take, probably surprising traffic. Especially those big pick up trucks that are still trying to get up to speed!
All that and I can fit a 4x8 sheet flat with the trunk closed. 🤠
Try hauling a couple 10 ft sticks of PVC and some full sheets of drywall home in the rain in your F150 😝
Swore you called the 2 power ports in the front console "cup holders" and you missed the largest storage area in that center storage which pulls out from the back. Also an additional 12V power port back for the second row seats. Had a 2003 and just replaced it with a 2019. Agree with your assessments for the most part. Only wish it had the 380 HP you stated.
So would you consider these over other competitors? I know these dont have the same fit and finish as others but the prices are pretty enticing. I've seen 18 and 19 models for under 20K and for a "new" van that seems pretty enticing. I'm not big on the tech stuff because it probably will get swapped out later down the road, I just need a good people hauler for my new addition to my family.
I have the 08. Bought it for $2500 with low miles. My 08 looks just like the 19. I can't image paying 20,000 for a model that hasn't changed.
Love Grand Caravans :)
I own an SXT, 20th anniversary edition and have had it for 6 years. I do TRULY want to like this vehicle because it has lots going for it conceptually with the stow n go, driver comfort, uconnect, and general layout and "assertive, understated design stance. It also makes a very secure, relaxed highway cruiser (more nimble with 3/4 to half filled tank for weight balance). However, the build quality worries me: Leatherette driver's seat and hand rest ripped/cracked unprovoked within 2 years (we are very careful), seat adjustment controls panel broke off within 4. Also, although the standard issue Yokohama tires provide a fairly smooth, acceptably quiet ride, the all season rating is dangerously misleading. I live in Vancouver, BC, and we get little snow at the lower elevations on most years. These tires are genuinely dangerous, and a potential liability to Chrysler! They will skid dangerously in colder temperatures and in the lightest snow, beyond a few kilometers. My rear left caliper froze at about 60,000kms requiring me to replace both. My discs were warped at about 85,000kms.....The price may be attractive, but sometimes I wonder if it is worth the compromises made...
The brakes are to small for the van every tech will tell you if you ask so they suffer from brake issues
Maybe I got a weird one, but when I tap into my 2016, it comes unsnatched now. I don’t abuse it as I worry it may not last. Not what I would have expected from a bitty-bus.
My biggest gripe is they didn’t do something about the seat hooks on the floor. Would be nice if they were recessed.
283hp not 383. Have one and really enjoy it. Very versatile, Good power, nice ride, decent mileage and very comfortable. Sounds like he's to lazy to vacuum his vehicle. Have black carpet in mine and have no problem keeping it clean.
I've had one just for a few hours last year and really loved it
Booked the cheapest Alamo category and was lucky enough to have one in the choice line
Overall I appreciate your review. As a prospective buyer and renter I will point out some things you missed in my order of importance.
#1. The price of the sxt trim is closer to about $33,700. Your 28k price was likely the most basic model with cloth seats, not sure about the other lesser features but I will guess also manual rear lift gate, smaller entertainment with no hard drive and bench second row.
#2. The second row seats do move forward and back. This is unclear if adjusted for your 3rd row commentary on legroom.
#3. Pull up sunshades on the rear doors.
I actually remembered a couple other things. Vehicle is flexfuel so you can run e85.
Lastly rear camera you touched on how low tech it is. Doesn't beep when you're close to an object or anything, literally just a camera with no added safety features.
Cheers
I have a 2013. The darned thing is fast. You have to be careful with it or you will burn up your expensive tires. I absolutely love my Dodge Grand Caravan. I have not had any issues at all with it. None. So reliable.
Pleather (plastic vinyl ) seats and 283 hp not 383, apart from that review was flawless as usual,thanks.
Snow has come early to Chicago this year?
Fun fact about these is the 2020 model year can not be registered in about 20 states like CA do to these being so outdated because they don’t meet emissions regulations in those 20 states.
The enterprise at my jeep dealership gives me this type of vehicle whenever i go in for recall repairs
I'm not surprised. Enterprise owns a TON of Grand Caravans. I think it's a good rental, but after a few times it's not very exciting. I've started to politely decline and ask for something else when they offer it to me. Unless, of course, it's the newest model. :)
@@100RentalCars at least it’s free whenever i do recall work on my grand Cherokee my service advisor gives me a coupon for a free rental car but hey it’s a free rental car I’m saving the coupons for the free rental for when i need a major repair
Why can’t you fold the seat inside the floor on the Toyota’s?
I'm not certain, but I'm guessing Dodge has a patent or something that prevents others from doing something similar.
*283 Horse power.I don't think the van is all that loud on hwy I have a 2016. I think they should of put a USB port in the compartment in front of cupholders on console. The very rear seats are intended for kids mostly. My 2016 retailed for $32,700 and has soft cloth seats and love them better than the leather seats.
The minivan is far from perfect, but we kept buying it since the earlier model Caravans because it has a lot of utility. The latest model we have is a 2012 model and it was a day/night improvement from the 2006. Still far from perfect, we found the stow-n-go uber useful. We do a lot of full cargo one leg and full people on the return leg all the time, so I'm really left with no other minivan option with specifications we _NEED_. I'm willing to try other brands, but the Caravan hits a bit too many sweet spots for me at the moment even with its problems.
I bought my 1999 Grand Caravan over 10 years ago and I still have it. Although I'm looking into something else as it's just too far gone and not worth putting any more money into, but it will either be a much newer Grand Caravan or a Yukon XL Denali for the added power, space, and modern features and technology.
Have you ever considered Renting a Toyota Highlander? I rented one last year, and it was a 10!
Dodge should put the awesome uconnect unit in the caravan. I think the caravan is being discontinued anyhow. Good review and I like the editing.
It has they stoped making them in may rip 1984-2020
I expected GPS navigation in our 2019 but have bought a GARMIN 55 GPS and many people have said that GARMIN is actually a better choice than most built-in GPS .
@@tomsnow51 mine comes with GPS you just have to pay for it monthly so I don't really use GPS navigation I normally just use the phone
What model is replacing the Caravan....?
Well brother one thing I disagree with you on is I’ve owned these Dodge and Chrysler products for 20 years on my fifth one , and one thing I was always impressed with from the 3.3 and up they are peppie that gas pedal don’t play around they get up to speed quickly to me when you try to pass cars on the highway
I wish they had 383hp. Still, the 283hp it comes with gets the job done. Have driven mine all over the country and the front brakes have been the only minor issue I have had.
😂 yeah I thought 383?!
The power of this thing is crazy for a minivan lol
I'd be happy with 150 hp.
I kn ow it's old but the 12 volt plug in the dash, the right side one is only on with the ignition, and the one on the left is always on.
Sxt was supposed to be the best model, but the American value model is comfortable seating
And the best by far is the anniversary model. Alot have brake problems, brakes were too small for vehicle so a1. Auto parts made a custom one just for this car. The fuses can get damp causing mysterious events and transmission has one plastic piece inside habitually dislodging.
So Honda odyssey better than this van?
Only my concern is the noisy driving?
And does the odyssey having better quite driving?
Snow already ?!?!?!
You dufous! You state you've driven every Grand Caravan since 2016, so with that amount of experience, one would think that you would have learned that the rear view mirror is auto dimming and does not require a switch to flip to deflect headlight glare from behind or sun glare!
I believe that engine puts out 305 HP still impressive
Their is noway that's 383 HP. That's a pentastar, it's like 280-290
Yeah it’s the 283hp 3.6L Pentastar V6.
Yeah, gotta be a mistake on his part. That's pushing 283hp not 383 lol
He listed it correctly in the description, just misspoke.
I spit my coffee when he said 383 HP 😂
Nick R that’s what i said lol
How big is the interior iith all the seats down?
Can 2 adults in sleeping bags lay down?
Will It Fit a 4' by 8' sheet of plywood?
Yes, I think two adults could sleep in the back. It wouldn't be roomy, but they'd fit. But not the plywood, the Grand Caravan isn't big enough for that.
@@100RentalCars ,, cz, is,,,,,,,,,, is an email about
It WILL fit a 4'x8' sheet of plywood! 6 sheets of 3/4". Ask me how I know...
Your on.....!
My O8 looks just like this 19 with the same features. Paid $2500 for.It with low miles.
It's exactly the same interior as my 2012 Town and Country lol
Best van for UberXL. No need to fold any seats to access the third row. You can get a used one for half the price of a Honda Odyssey or Sienna
I’m thinking of getting one of these,I really want a Toyota Sienna but they are pricey,How reliable has your van been this far?
@@louisangel5868 not as reliable as Toyota but there are so many of them out there that the parts are cheap to get when something does break. The middle seats can be stowed inside the floor. It is not possible in Toyota
It was a good minivan for it's time but my problem with the Grand Caravan and T&C is the high road noise, harsh ride on rough pavement, and for a 6 Speed auto is the worst one I've dealt with. I would recommend anyone to get the Pacifica it's a much better minivan from FCA and thankfully my grandmother is replacing her 14 T&C S for a Pacifica Limited.
18:01 how does this drive aggressive when in your video you show how it doesn’t have the get up and go like you would want.
snow already??? which state at
Just rented this car. Found the acceleration a bit touchy.
I have a 2019 Grand Caravan sxt. It doesn't have 2nd row fold and go seats. It just has one bench seat. There's a metal bar blocking where they are supposed to go down into the floor. Why is that metal bar there? Makes no sense???
Ain’t no 380 horsepower in this, it’s more like 290! Lol
If you had a choice for this or the Siena which would you choose and why
I'd go Toyota Sienna. I prefer the look and feel of the Sienna over the Grand Caravan. Although, the Grand Caravan is much more fun to drive. Personally, my favorite minivan right now is the Kia Sedona. I think it has the best balance between style, functionality, and drivability. But that's just me. If you hate having a slow vehicle, then go with the Caravan. But if you want a "fresh" looking vehicle, try the Sienna or the Sedona. And good luck with your purchase. I hope this helps!
Keep working
