In this video I give a full in depth tour of the 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan Crew. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this van while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this van designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

This is an absolutely wonderful review. My wife and I don't believe in having a car payment, not with having a growing family anyways, so we look at vehicles about 10yrs old. We were in the market for a 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan Crew with the exact same trim style that this one has, so this *VERY* in depth review was a fantastic selling point for us. Honestly, this video is what sold us on the van. Thank you so much! I wish all vehicle reviews were done this way.

Your incredible video made me buy this van (crew), and I SO LOVE IT! Might I add, as the owner of a Mitsubishi Lancer, and Audi A4, this van is my favorite of all of them. I have ZERO fatigue on 4 hour drives. Now the drive is only a matter of listening to my audible books on the neat mp3 radio and getting out the other side all fresh and ready for the day. Dodge really should get an award for this van

Chrysler minivans are the best. I have a 1997 Plymouth Voyager that's been modded with an SRT4 twin turbo, auto leveling bi-xenons, 5000w rms sound system, 4 wheel disc w/ Brembo+Akebono combo. Currently working on retrofitting active suspension, wet shot N20, and designing a system where the top part of my tailgate would raise and act as a spoiler (like in Bugattis) whenever I exceed 60 mph. Mechanical Engineering + older cars = deadly combo!

Fantastic review Kyle. These new Chrysler vans are by far my favorite on the market, they're so nice. That new Pentastar V6 is a huge step for Chrysler I think. I drove a 200 Limited with that engine and I was so impressed with it. Unbelievably smooth and it makes power everywhere, not to mention it's very quiet but it has a nice note when you rev it! It should be a great engine. I loved the 200 too, very impressive mid size sedan and it drove beautifully. Now I need to drive this and the 300C!

Only problem with trying to get a Dodge Grand Caravan is they're a little more expensive and there are hardly any Caravan's in Germany where we live!
